37 weeks and finally looking preggo

It's taken several months, but now that I'm finally nearing the end of this pregnancy, I look pregnant. I'm still huge, and I have trouble reaching my feet to pick up toys after my little people and I loathe dropping things, but I don't feel like a liar when I tell people I'm not just fat, I'm also pregnant.

Here's the most recent photo, taken after a long night of tossing, turning, and my least favorite pregnancy symptom, leg cramps:

Week: 37 Weight: 304.5 Total weight gain: 26.5

At least my hair is growing like crazy. It's also full of body and would probably look good if I took the time to style it, instead of always pulling it back because I sweat just thinking about going upstairs.

I'm now going to the OB weekly, and was glad to see at the last appointment that I'd actually gone down a half pound, instead of reaching my max weight with the twins of 310. Hopefully, I can keep from gaining any more until he comes, because I know it'll just get more uncomfortable over the next few weeks anyway.

As of last Wednesday, I'm not dilated, and his head had not dropped, but the ultrasound showed he is head-down, so it could be any time. I'm still hoping to go to 41 weeks, just with all the craziness of moving this last month, trying to finish unpacking, and still making time for my existing little people. I know I don't have much control over that, but God is good and He does answer prayer.

This past weekend was very productive for us. We got all the random stuff out of the garage and put in its respective areas, even if it's still in boxes. I also enlisted the help of my mother-in-law to come and we cooked up and packed over 3 weeks' worth of yummy freezer/crock pot meals for after the baby comes. Having that out of the way and the garage cleaned out makes me feel much more prepared for our little guy, as well as having washed all of his clothes and accessories last week. I put the mobile up on his crib last night, which made my hubby a little weepy, but he's also under a lot of stress at work right now, so I couldn't blame him.

Hopefully I'll have another week to get things taken care of, hang shelves, curtains, photos, and get the rest of our stuff unpacked before the baby comes. I go back to the OB tomorrow, so I'm not making any plans until that appointment is over. If we get a favorable report, I'm heading with the twins to the pool, so we can have some much-needed bonding time and r&r.

Thanks for reading and I'll keep you posted of any new developments.
