37 Weeks - Baby Koch #2

• How far along?: 37 weeks

• Baby is the size of a: Honeydew Melon (according to Ovia Pregnancy app)

• Total weight gain/loss: +23 pounds ... eek... gaining a pound a week at this point it seems

• Stretch Marks? Same ones as before, and possibly the belly button ones.

• The Bump: Big, bigger, biggest ever!

• Symptoms: Nothing too major right now.  I feel better now than I have the past two months!

• Food cravings: FRUIT! halo oranges, honeycrisp apples, pineapple, canned peaches

• Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Nothing!

• Sleep: Not terrible, I still try for 8 hours.  Only waking up 1-2 times which is awesome... but we started potty training Amelia this week and now she is waking up a night to potty,

• What I miss: Fitting in my clothes without my belly sticking out, playing/rough housing with Amelia, dairy already

• Weddings Rings On or Off: On without any issues

• Any Names Picked Out Yet:  Theodore Michael

• Gender: Little boy blue

• Movement: Still moving around like a champ.  Definitely feel more alien like this time around with seeing actual body parts move and such.

• Maternity Clothes: Maternity everything I can and Brandon's t-shirts/long sleeves/coat.

• Labor Signs: Still not sure if I am feeling contractions... but there is definitely some crazy action going on!  Only 2cm dilated now and have to be "on the monitors" for each appointment here on out.  Doctor wants to induce on February 11 no matter what, so the end is in sight!

• Best Moment of the week: Girls day date on Monday with Danielle, Mason, my mom, Grandma, Aunts and Amelia!  Of course getting to heart Theo's heartbeat is awesome as well!

• Feeling: Anxious to meet Theo! Starting to get nervous about labor and how Amelia is going to adjust.  She is starting to get home sick and saying "I go home!" when she sleeps anywhere but home.  I am most worried about how she will do for Nana/Grandpa while we are in the hospital and if that will affect our length of stay.

• What I’m excited about/looking forward to:Weekly checkup on Tuesday!  I can't wait to see if we have made any progress!!!!
