37 Weeks and Counting

Holy. Cow.

I'm now at the 37 week mark, which means:

1) My baby is officially full term
2) I officially feel like a cow

No belly shots this week, but I can assure you that I'm huge ... everywhere except for my belly. Even with Tanner it never really got that big -- in proportion to everything else, that is. Oh my. I have my work cut out for me once this pregnancy is over! Thank goodness for the treadmill we just purchased! I've been walking on it a few times a week, when I can't get to the gym. There is never anything good on TV while I walk, so I usually end up watching "A Baby Story" and sobbing whenever they hand the new baby to the mother. It's a good thing this all happens in the privacy of my own basement ... I would be a little embarrased if I was at the gym ...

I started my weekly doctor's appointments this week. The good news is that the baby is head-down. I am 1/2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. This doesn't sound like much, but keep in mind this is about where I was when I first got to the hospital to deliver Tanner. In any case, the doctor said I'll most likely be pregnant for a few more weeks. :) My next appointment is Monday. I'll keep you posted on any progress! And if I can get my husband to take a decent belly-shot, I'll post that, too. Hopefully, these pics of the little guy can hold you over until then. :)

What a cutie! I'm lol about the baby story comments. I remember watching that show (against the advice of everyone I know) and crying too! The ugly cry!
Great job for getting on the treadmill too! I'll be checking for updates! So exciting!

If we had TLC I would still cry over A Baby Story and I'm not pregnant, so don't feel bad! Mr Tanner is so adorable. We can't wait to meet Landon!

The 37-week mark is so exciting! I'm pumped that you're there and just know that you'll be un-pregnant and feeling like a hot mama again in a few months! Thank goodness for breastfeeding for that!! :)

In the meantime, live up these last few weeks, enjoy your little man (who happens to be an adorable crack-up!! I laugh every time I see pics of him--he looks like he is a stinker!), and get ready for a new little apple of your eye. Oh, I can't wait to read the happy news of L's safe and healthy arrival! :)

I'm sure you look great! I'm totally stealing your little cooking idea that Tanner is doing in the pics. It looks a lot cleaner than actually letting them help you make muffins!

You're in our prayers for a safe and easy delivery! I can't wait to hear through the Fagan grapevine about little Landon's arrival! Love you!
