37 weeks! Full Term! :)

This week we are 37 weeks!

3 weeks left until Jan 2nd, but only 2 weeks left until induction day!

Only (at most!) two  more belly pictures to take until I get to meet sweet Khloe!
How big is baby? about 6 1/3lb and 19inches according to babycenter.com- Khloe is apparently as long as a stalk of Swiss chard... strange!
Weight gain/loss? up 23lb... gained back what I lost last week with the stomach bug... looks like I'm right on track to gain about 25lb
Sleep? Sleeping ok, definitely waking up a couple times to pee in the middle of the night.
Movement? She's still moving in there and still having hiccups like crazy... usually at night while mommy is trying to go back to sleep.
Symptoms? Increased pelvic pain/pressure, frequent urination, fatigue
Food Cravings? Nothing really this week.
Gender? a girl! Khloe Margaret Vogelaar
Belly Button An outtie!!

What I miss? Being able to move around easily!
What I'm looking forward to? Khloe's going to be here in two weeks or less! Craziness! We've got our 37 week dr appointment on Friday at 2:45 with Dr. C. I've also got a long long "to-do" list to get done before Miss K arrives... and I love checking off "to-do" lists! The pic above is one of my crossed off "to-do" iteams- making "thank you" goody bags for the nurses and techs at the hospital.  Next up:  cleaning my car and installing K's car seat base.
Mommy reflections: Been really struggling with feeling sad about the limited time I have left with just MK. I'm sure this is normal for moms to go through, I just hate feeling this way. I'm also so excited about Khloe at the same time... it's such a strange feeling. Any other mamas of two plus kids go through this and have some words of wisdom?
Big sister? She and I had a fun Christmas date today- we went to the mall and went to Santa's story time and had lunch. She's such a sweet girl and I can't wait to see her take on the new role of big sister!
Labor signs? I had a couple of contractions today... but they went away within an hour... but I think my body's getting ready! I'm gonna ask Dr. C to check my cervix for changes and to do a membrane sweep at our 38 week appointment- which will be my last one before our induction on the 28th!

Love,
The Vogs
