Hurray!! I made it through the weekend :-) I am 37 weeks!! Little Sweets is officially 'full term'.
Friday at work some of my coworkers and my boss were saying their good-byes to me- they thought I might go into labour this weekend due to all my cramping and coughing (lol). Glory to God and thanks be to the power of prayer, I am still hanging on!!! My goal date is June 30th. If I can at least make it to my baby shower, I am a happy camper :-) lol
At 37 weeks, Little Sweets weighs close to 6lbs, 20z and is roughly 19" in length. My mom thinks the baby will be 21" long when he/she is born. With Dennard and myself both being quite tall, our baby is bound to inherit our height.
Unfortunately, I am still fighting this nasty cold :-( My nose is forever congested and my chest cough has become more deep. I feel drainned most of the day as my cold is keeping me up during the night. Friday I went to bed with a splitting headache and last night (Saturday) I went to bed horribly congested with a dull headache.
I am praying this cold will soon pass as this is the most crucial time in my pregnancy when I need the most rest. I need to get as much sleep as possible to prepare for labour and sleepless nights feeding the baby.
Yesterday, I had my mom and two sisters over for brunch. Over croissants, hummus, naan chips, strawberries and sparkling non-alcoholic wine, we toasted Little Sweets and enjoyed the afternoon together. I showed them Little Sweets new room and all the precious things I have washed and put away for his/her soon arrival :-)
After brunch, Cheryl and I headed to Square One to do a little window shopping. Roughly 1/2 way into our shopping, my feet were BEYOND killing me. It got to the point where I couldn't even stand anymore. The pain was intense-as if someone had beaten my feet with a baseball bat!!! Cheryl kindly offered to switch her shoes for mine in hopes that her cream sandals would be a bit more comfortable. Fortunately for me, they were far more comfortable; however, unfortunately for her, my black sparkle sandals didn't go so well with her cream and soft pink skirt. lol
We got quite the chuckle out of her new look! lol She was a trooper to sacrifice her fashion sense for me and for my comfort! lol
During brunch in the AM, Jenn took some amazing pictures of Dennard, myself and Little Sweets with her new iPad. I absolutely LOVE the pictures she took. We did a few treatments to the pics to make them look professional. I have attached some of them below for you all to see.
Here is Daddy, myself and Little Sweets at 37 weeks:
