How far along? 37 WEEKS
Total weight gain: 25
Sleep: Sleep is very interrupted lately. Some nights I can sleep well, others contractions seem to come and go a lot around about 4am.
Movement: Carter is pretty active, but starting to slow down since he is running out of room.
Food cravings: not really craving anything lately
Gender: boy!
What I miss: I miss being able to move around faster than a turtle with a waddle.
What I am looking forward to: meeting Carter for the first time, and introducing him to his 2 big brothers, Mommaw and Poppaw that can't wait for him to arrive.
From Baby-Gaga on week 37
It’s the calm before the storm. Changes in your baby's weight have leveled off with only a few ounces of fat added this week. At this point your baby should weigh in at around 7 lbs and 20 inches (with boys somewhat heavier and longer than girls). Happily, as far as internal organs go, they are now developed enough to function in the outside world although the oh-so-important immune system is still developing and will continue to do so after birth. With a large boost of antibodies provided by breast milk when nursing begins. Fighting infection and staying healthy should be well within their physical capacity when your little fighter is born.
