37 Weeks!


I AM FULL TERM!!!
Woohoo!!

Baby, fetus at 37 weeks - BabyCenter
37 weeks down 3 to go!
Asher is about the size of Swiss Chard
Don't know what that is?
Me either.
But I looked it up and it is some kind of leafy thing.

I went to the docs and it went well we set a date for if I got over.
If I go a day over my due date I will
1- Eat a whole pineapple (debatable if it works)
2- Drive to Park City (supposedly the pressure change can send you into labor)
3- Eat spicy food while in Park City
I'm sure there are some other things but I won't list them all haha.
I'm feeling so done with this pregnancy thing..
I want my little guy to be healthy more than anything but then I'm thinking
"I think he's healthy he can come now" haha
Jared (my hubby) is out of town as of Sunday the 21st until the 27th
He left early early...
So that is a huge reason I've had a hard time sleeping.
I don't usually see him a lot during the day so that's fine but when I go to bed it's a HUGE comfort to hear him breathing beside me,
I even reach over for him sometimes just to feel him near me.
And honestly this week has been the worst week of my pregnancy because he's gone.
But I will say this..
When he leaves for a few days it helps me realize how much I appreciate the little things he does.
It helps me realize how much I love him.
Just his presence makes it easier to sleep.
So I've been up till about 1 every night on average.
It doesn't help that little man has moved his head down lower and has been turning it back and forth..
Weirdest feeling ever!! haha

Well this week has officially been the worst of pregnancy,
Like I said Jared is out of town,
I'm nearing the end of pregnancy,
and I got a lovely cold.
I have gone to bed wishing Jared was here every night to scratch my back or make me soup.
The first night I had my cold he called and had to go and I started crying..
I don't mean to be such a complainer!
But this has been one hard week!
I hope all of this is done soon.
My cold is almost gone now except I can't breathe through my nose, oh so fun!

This week has been a lay down and do nothing kind of week.
Not that I wanted to.
I'm working on a nursing shawl but I couldn't sit straight up for about 3 days.
So it hasn't progressed very much.

Asher has picked a favorite side on my stomach.
He cuddles up on my right side and I try and push him to the other side but he won't budge!

So luckily I haven't contracted much this week,
Last week I was contracting like crazy but as soon as Jared left I stopped contracting Such a blessing!
I didn't think he'd (Asher) would come this week.
But it was a worry in the back of my mind.
All I can say is Priesthood blessings are an amazing thing!

Oh how I love this little boy!
I can't wait to hold him in my arms and see his little hands and feet!
I absolutely cannot wait to see Jared hold him!
I know how much he wants to meet him!
I'm Soooo close!!
Well that is all I have for this week!
Thanks for reading all!
