37 Weeks! (+1 Day)

As of today, we are 37 weeks and 1 day along. Although we won't be considered "full term" until we reach 39 weeks, we are now considered "early term".

According to my BabyCenter app, this means that our little man probably weighs about 6 1/3 pounds and measures about 19 inches in length. These are just estimates but it's fun to know!

This week Brian and I took a Baby Basics class where we learned more about newborn sleeping, eating, and bathing, as well as other aspects of baby care. We also practiced diapering and swaddling. I can't wait to wrap this baby up like a little swaddled burrito. :)  

37 Week Highlights

• At our 37 week appointment, Baby had a good heartbeat and is measuring on track.
• He continues to move, wiggle, and squirm all the time. 
• Baby gets the hiccups a lot: he'll usually get them between 1-3 times per day. He will also jump a little if he gets startled.
• He also has a favorite place to jab me: many times during the day I'm pushing his little elbow or knee (not sure which) back into a more comfortable spot.
• Cravings: I'm still craving fruit and ice. And Diet Coke. ALL THE TIME.

Just a few more weeks until we get to meet Baby Nicklaus!
