37 Weeks

Dear Wyatt,

Tomorrow you are 37 weeks along, and you are considered full term! Timer's done, time to come out of the oven! You are the size of a watermelon at about 18.9 - 20.9 inches long and anywhere from 6.2 - 9.2 lbs.

And here is mommy a day away from 37 weeks, my how things have changed!

These were a couple of our very first belly photos together:

7 Weeks, 5 Days with you

Tan, thin(ner), and no stretch marks to be seen at 14 weeks! I look back at the photos of my belly and how everything seemed to change all of a sudden in the 20-ish Weeks. I watch the stretch marks show up and the belly continue to grow - but I wouldn't trade any of it if it meant I couldn't have you, little one. It is all worth it to me, my testament that my body has held a baby that I love more than anything.

Tonight your daddy and I go to Labor & Delivery at 5 PM to check in. I am getting the Cervidil to get the party started tonight. In the morning, Dr. W will come by and break my water and the nurses will start the Pitocin drip in my IV to get things moving along. Hopefully we will be seeing you shortly after!

Everyone is excited about your arrival and are so ready to meet you. I feel your little feet still up in my ribcage dancing around. You have no idea that tomorrow you are getting evicted.

I am so nervous, baby. I don't know exactly what I am nervous about. I'm not worried about the pain, I can handle that. It's everything else that I can't control that I'm nervous about I guess. When I start to worry about 1 thing it branches off into 3 different things, then 3 more, until I finally have to tell myself to focus on the task at hand - giving birth. I hope you are healthy and I hope you are ready. I feel like you are and that you have been.

I'm sick to my stomach, I keep cramping and having Braxton Hicks contractions. I feel like I want a Jimmy Johns sandwich but I don't know if I'll be able to eat it. I had some grapes earlier and they went down fine. I've been slowly packing my bag all day - I have no idea what to bring. It rocks that we are 15 minutes away from the hospital so if I need anything AJ can come get it easily. He's going to have to come back for a little while tonight to check on Biscuit.

Just breathe...

Nerves...

I can't believe tomorrow I will meet you.

I'll talk to you again soon, little baby.

Love,
