38 weeks!

I know, this post is a day late. But we had a Dr's appointment today and there is progress!
First, some 38 week self-portraits-


In other news, I got a haircut and color that I'll be able to maintain after the baby is born. Yeah, it's a mom-cut: Shorter and darker, but still cute. I'm sure I'll be blonde again by July...



Enough about me- back to this baby:

**How Big is Baby?: Hopefully about 6.5lbs

**Maternity clothes? I keep hoping that every time I wear a maternity outfit, it'll be the last time I have to wear that one.

**Total weight gain: Up 24lbs

**Stretch marks? Still just that one

**Sleep: Still sleeping, although the past two nights I haven't been able to go back to sleep after pee breaks because my mind was racing. Very frustrating.

**Movement: Lots and lots of movement

**Food cravings: Parmesan cous cous. DELICIOUS. It's like upscale mac and cheese.

**Feeling: Ready. And super-excited.

**Health/Exercise: Walking more than running, but Monday I was able to run for more than 30 mins (so probably about 3 miles)! I don't know how much more running I'll be doing, but I'm still trying to do something aerobic everyday.

**Labor Signs: At today's appointment my cervix was 3cm dilated and 80% effaced. The doctor said that it's good progress, but some people walk around at 5cm for weeks before going into labor. So he said it's equally likely that I go into labor this week as it is that I'll be at next week's appointment.


**Next Appointment: Cinco de Mayo!
