Baby update- week 37

How far along? 37 weeks and 5 days

How big is baby? he was over 6lbs over a week ago so I'm guessing 7-7.5lbs at least now and he is over 19 inches long! 

Gender? A BOY!! His name is Beckett Easton as a first and middle name. 

Weight gain? lost 1 pound but still not sure where it came from my feet are as swollen as ever. Do you recall this picture I posted last year of my favorite flats ever? I'm blessed with narrow skinny feet that fit into most any shoe. Blessed. 

{my skinny thin bony normal size feet} 

{my feet last night....it feels about as bad as it looks. like a million bee stings. }

Due Date? As of 6 days ago I was 2cm dilated and 80% effaced. Our induce date was tentatively set for August 26th however it looks like that has changed now since that's tomorrow and we don't have confirmation. I went to the doctor yesterday for a check up and she had an emergency c section to run out for. I ended up seeing the nurse practitioner instead and he did not even check me. My blood pressure was 149 and he had me lay down instead of sit up. Truly pointless appointment with no answers. Needless to say husband was less then pleased when I went to pick him up at work after with that report. We are still as of this morning trying to figure out what is going on since I'm a week past how far they wanted me to go for health reasons :( 

Symptoms? I'm taking vicodine for the severe pelvic and hip pain and pressure. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep up with all of that. Contracting like crazy on top of that which is only adding to the pressure. I now have the most horrible groin spasms and my thighs go to sleep and circulation if I sit for longer then 20 min at a time.  

Sleep? No longer sleeping through the night, I'm getting about 3-5 good hours of sleep and I go to bed at about 9pm. The rest is groin spasms and cramps and pelvic hip pain trying to get comfortable or needing to change positions about every 30 min or so since my thighs and legs go to sleep from the weight and pressure. 

Movement? Still as feisty as ever. If anything other then dads hands touch him he kicks and fights and squirms and puts on a big show trying to get it off. He always moves closer to his dads hands though :) it's sweet. 

Beckett on the web: Beckett has his own little friends and family blog so you can check it out and leave him some love if you want to! You can see it at this link Little Mast 

Other Stuff: A lady stopped me on the street yesterday and told me " Your so tiny! I wish I looked as good as you when I was pregnant". Wish that meant I felt better :) but it was so sweet to hear! So you saw the feet, pretty or not, sorry I had to share. The nursery reveal and pics are coming but most importantly the bottles are washed and just waiting for the sterilizer when they need to be used. I'm sure we will need many more then we have but at least it's a start. We are ready as we are going to be, so..... any day now Beckett, if you would please..... any day.
