37 Weeks

Total weight gain: 39 lbs.
Sleep: It could be worse. I just wake up a lot.
Movement: Lots of movement, but overall you are pretty calm. I remember Hudson kicking me like crazy and making me sore.

Food cravings: Mexican food, eggs, salad

Symptoms: Mostly the same as last week - cramping, leg cramps (charlie horse at 3 a.m. is never fun), sciatic nerve pain, etc. Pressure, lots of pressure. My swelling actually went down this week and my feet look normal. I'm not sure what I did differently, but it's nice to have them back. I'm having a lot of significant contractions, but not the real deal yet.
Looking forward to: I'm looking forward to that moment when they lay you on my chest. I can't wait! I'm also looking forward to Granna coming next week. Hopefully, she makes it in time for your arrival!
Questions people have asked: 
Are you progressing/dilating? I don't know my "progress" because they haven't checked which is kind of nice because then you don't get your hopes up. It isn't a sure sign of when labor will start anyway. I usually walk around at a 3-4 for weeks. They might check at my next appointment when I am closer to my due date.
Do you really know what it is and you're not telling? No, I really don't know. I have my gut feeling, but that has not been confirmed to me. We weren't going to find out with Hudson either and had them seal it in an envelope, but Garrett wanted to find out and I respected his wishes so we opened the envelope a few months later at Christmas. This time we both agreed to wait.
Will you be induced? I want to avoid a medical induction at all costs. There are some natural induction methods that have been discussed if the need arises.
Why don't you want drugs? Disclaimer: I'm not a hippie. I have been medically induced with pitocin, epidural and everything that comes with it and I've had an unmedicated birth. I would choose the latter every time. Sounds crazy, right? Probably. But I have many reasons for why I feel this way. I also know that things don't always go as planned so I'm prepared for that also. Thankfully, the OB/GYN practice I go to now is far more respectful of your decisions to labor as you choose and doesn't make you feel like you only have one option either way.

Now, we just play the waiting game. I know that every symptom or contraction doesn't mean labor is imminent so it is easier to relax and enjoy these last couple of weeks. I did finally get some things together because I don't need to waste any time getting to the hospital this time. The boys are now sharing a room and that transition has been pretty smooth. I washed the car seat cover and plan on putting that in my car this weekend. The baby room is empty just waiting to be filled. We don't have all of the baby gadgets, clothes and stuff that we had the first time, but all this baby really needs is a boob and lots of love and I think we have that covered. :)
