37 Weeks Pregnant with Baby Girl R (FULL TERM WOOHOO!)

How far along? 37 Weeks - FULL TERM

How big is baby? The size of a Winter Melon (no idea)  18.9-20.9 inches and 6-9lbs.   The doctor thinks she will be high 7lbs if she goes to my due date and I'm ok with that.

Sleep? Ugh it's bad.  I get up to use the restroom so many times and it's hard for me to flip back and forth.

Best moment this week?  My BFF EJ and her husband Webster are coming to visit this weekend.  Some of our good friends are throwing us a couples shower which should be a lot of fun.  My sis Kaitlin is also coming and since she is one of my favorite people I am really looking forward to seeing her.

Movement? Lots of rolling around in there.  My Doctor said the baby has dropped and my cervix is thinning but not dilated yet.  I've been experiencing lightning crotch, it is the craziest thing, but I think it's just the baby has dropped and is putting pressure on my nerves.  My sweet little bean is running out of room and it's so funny when she moves to one side of my belly and it gets so lopsided.  I'm just soaking it all up while she's still in there.  Feeling your baby move inside your belly is one of the best moments in life, such a miracle.

Food cravings? Fruit and ice cubes.

Gender? Sweet Baby Girl...with no name :-)

What I miss?  Sleeping comfortably.

What I am looking forward to?  Our baby shower this weekend and getting to meet this little lady.

Weekly wisdom?  None really, just enjoy the last moments of being pregnant and the last moments of calm before our lives change forever.

Milestones?  Sweet baby girl is FULL TERM and could come at any time.
