Ultrasound last week

I forgot to post our ultrasound photo from last week. Here she is at 37 weeks. Her hand was up by her face the whole time, so the tech could only get a side shot.

38.5 Weeks

 I'm off to my 38 week appointment today.  I feel like the baby has doubled in size this week.  Hopefully she is getting nice and big and healthy.  I can't believe how well I feel right now.  I'm a little slow and definitely tired, but (other than a little back pain and bad reflux) I feel pretty good!  It is amazing how much better I feel than I did with both Mason and Makayla.  I think it is because I am carrying this one really high.

And here is a comparison from last week...

37 Weeks!

It's a full term baby!  I had an ultrasound yesterday and they estimated the baby at 50th percentile (was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced as well), so she should be a nice medium sized baby.  A nice change from Makayla who was huge!  I can't believe how good I feel with this pregnancy compared to last time and I'm wondering if the smaller baby is the difference.  I mean, I feel tired, but I am able to get around so easily.  With Makayla, I literally could only walk a little bit each day and it was extremely painful. 

We have been plagued with a stomach bug this past week and it's made its way through the whole family.  I'm still not all the way back to normal.  It sucks because I have a list of things I want to accomplish before the baby gets here and I can't even do any of it because I have felt awful.  Not only that, but me resting for a few days means the house has turned into a natural disaster!  So, I've almost gone backwards.  I've got a lot of catching up to do, so I'm hoping baby stays put for at least a couple weeks.
