Our Great Adventure in the West: 37 Weeks

How far along: 37 weeks! I am officially full term, and our little guy can arrive any day! I am so ready to meet him :)

Baby's size: 19 inches or longer and 6 1/3 lbs.

Sleep: Sleep is getting more and more difficult

Weight: 23 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: I'm getting tired of my maternity clothes.

Symptoms I have: Still pressure down low which is a good but also very uncomfortable.

Doctor’s Appointment: Next appointment is Wednesday. I'm going once a week now.

Movement: He is not moving quite as often but when he moves it is sometimes uncomfortable and very noticeable from the outside. He is still having hiccups all the time.

Best Moment: Making it to full term! Michael and some friends surprised me with a baby shower! Michael, his dad and his mom planned a "baby shower in a box" because we weren't able to have one before our little guy is born. They sent out invitations to family and friends in IL and everyone sent presents together. Michael told me we were meeting our friend Cory at a restaurant for lunch and I was surprised with our friends sitting at a table with diapers at each person's spot. The diapers were part of a game that my friend Tracy came up with. We all had to guess what type of chocolate was in our diaper. The shower was so wonderful and we received so many great gifts for the baby. We are so incredibly blessed to have such wonderful family and friends that went to so much trouble to make our baby shower happen :) Thank you so much to those of you who were part of it all!

Our friends from church, Dallas and Aurora and their two daughters came to our shower!

We received so many precious things for our little boy!

Michael's grandmother sent these adorable hangers.

Our friends Tracy and Jeff from church were so sweet to help with the shower!

One day while picking up something from Babies R Us, I was able to park in the "expectant mother" parking. This was the first time I've been able to snag one of these spots!
