Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Still the same. I basically build a Ft. Knox of pillows every night for support, but it has helped me sleep much better. However, “better” is basically, “as comfortable as I can get.” I can’t wait to sleep on my back again!!
Miss Anything? Not feeling tired all the time and sleeping on my back.
Movement: TONS of movement this week. He is super active, especially after I eat so it’s super cool to watch him move!
Food cravings: still eating tons of watermelon J
Anything making you queasy or sick? I keep knocking on wood…I have had zero morning sickness or any sickness for that matter!
Symptoms? Heartburn- mild and minimal this week. Lower back pain- I’ve learned to manage it, but it has come back this week. Nasal congestion- pretty much a constant. Left ear clogging- happening just about daily. Exhaustion- I’m basically tired all the time, but just power through and try to get to bed as early as possible.

Have you started to show yet? There’s no denying it at this
point!
Gender: It’s a BOY!!!
Labor Signs: I started feeling some short (no more than 10 seconds) tingling in my lower back the last couple of days that would go on for maybe a few minutes, then stop. Not sure if it was because it was the end of the day or if it was signs of contractions. However, I do know for a fact that I am having minor contractions regularly (I’m just not feeling them), because we saw it while hooked up to a monitor last week at the doctor (more on that below).
Belly Button in or out? I think it may be as out as it’s going to be. It’s stretched with a little bulge.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and getting really excited!
Exercise? Prenatal yoga this week
Looking forward to: meeting our little guy! 12 days and counting!!! We officially scheduled his arrival via c-section for Friday, November 1st. Again, that is unless he decides he wants to come sooner.

This past week we had our 37 week
checkup where my doctor thought she heard a deceleration in the baby’s
heartbeat (a drop which can indicate he is under distress). So after being
triaged and hooooouuuuurs of monitoring, everything was fine and we were able
to go home. It was definitely an eye opener that he could come at any time, but
hopefully we won’t have any more scares and he stays put until the 1st
J.
Another exciting tidbit of news:
WE FINALLY HAVE A NAME!!!
After all this time of
indecisiveness (it’s so permanent!), we are so excited to finally meet
