| 37 weeks, 2 days |

| Max is gaining .5 ounces every day- his estimated weight is about 7 lbs right now! |
 |
| Mini sampler- a tiny, but tasty, cherry turnover and a mini chocolate frosted. Yum! |
 |
| Gabe with our practice baby- I can't wait to see him with Max! |
 |
| Early morning walks have become my newest habit- time for Max to come out! |
How far along? 37 Weeks
Maternity clothes: Sweatpants, pjs, and workout clothes. This week I've alternated between exhaustion and bursts of energy. Either way, I've pretty much stayed in around the house, except for a few long walks to encourage Max to come out early.
Sleep: I've pretty much been waking up every hour or so- my body is preparing me for the sleepless nights to come! Also, as my belly has gotten bigger it's become much more difficult to get comfortable at night. I've also been getting cramps in my upper thighs again, so once I do get comfortable, I end up having to switch sides pretty soon after. I get through these sleepless nights by telling myself I am only weeks (or days!) away from sleeping on my back again- and that will be true bliss!

Best moments this week: Our baby class on Saturday
Gabe and I had a lovely day off together this past Saturday. We started our morning off with delicious treats at Baker's Pride, then spent most of the day at our baby class. Over the course of the day we practiced basic baby care including diaper changes, baths, feeding, infant CPR and more. Gabe and I have both read up on baby care, but since neither of us have had any hands on- newborn experience, we appreciated this practical crash course. The class, and seeing Gabe care for our practice baby, made me all the more excited for Max to be born- now it's just a waiting game!
Miss Anything? Nope.
Movement: Max still loves moving all around. He's going to be one active little guy!
Food cravings: Donuts, cherries, and pears
Anything making you queasy or sick: Heartburn :-/
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: I'm still having contractions on and off. At my appointment this week, I was 2.5 cm dilated, so we're making some serious progress! I'm hoping max will come before my next appointment, but we'll just have to wait and see!
Symptoms: Contractions, back pain, cramping, fatigue alternating with energy bursts, and nesting
Belly Button in or out? Still in!
Wedding rings on or off? On :-)
Happy or Moody most of the time: So happy!
Looking forward to: Max's birth- whenever that may be!
