I had my check up on Friday last week and growth ultrasound. The baby was measuring 6lbs 9oz (44th percentile) and the heartbeat was 146. Baby is head down and seemed happy and content which is good. The midwife who I had the Monday before I delivered Joey on Thursday had guessed Joey to be 7.5lbs. She said this one she is guessing 7lbs 3oz. We shall see! I'm measuring 34 weeks which is pretty much how I measured with Joey too. They took a sample 'down there' to test for Group B strep and I'll have those results this week. I have another appointment on Friday and every Friday until my due date. If I make it to 40 weeks, they will do an ultrasound, NST and check for progress.
How far along: 37 weeks
Weight gain/loss: No gain since last appointment, up 19lbs on my scale
Maternity clothes: Bought a couple more pairs of yoga pants at Old Navy for now and after baby.
Stretch marks: Cocoa butter and oil every morning and night!
Symptoms: Peeing around 4-5x a night which is not fun. Braxton Hicks and some period like cramps on and off. My breathing seems to be better since baby has dropped some.
Sleep: It's okay just need more of it. Kind of tough to change sides and get comfortable.

Best moment this week: Saw baby on Friday for my growth ultrasound and got to hear the little heartbeat!
Gender: Haven't had any more dreams since last week. I am looking forward to finding out though!Belly button in or out: Still in
Food cravings: No cravings.....eating my usual. Some days I really could go just eating breakfast. Other days I seem way more hungry!
Movement: Baby has been quiet these last couple days. Not nearly as many rolls and turns in my stomach!
What I miss: Being able to do more with Joey and not having to maneuver around this basketball in my tummy.
What I'm looking forward to: Maybe seeing Santa on Sunday and then celebrating the Lozen December birthdays at Kruse and Muer on Sunday night.
