It has been such a busy week that I forgot to post on Saturday. Since im actually 38 weeks tomorrow i thought  i better make a quick post about last week before i uploaded tomorrows.

Latest phe level 2.5  Current phe tolerance 2150 mg . Officialy more then i ever had with Madelyn. I topped out at 2000 mg with her. 

37 weeks. Full term. Baby should arrive anytime in the next 3 weeks give or take. Won’t be much longer now till we meet our newest addition and complete our little family. I almost don’t like writing these posts anymore because I just sound like Complaining now. I’m swollen. I’m puffy
I’m exhausted. I’m not sleeping. I’m uncomfortable. My feet and ankles are puffy. My knees feel like there is fluid on them. My hands and wrists are puffy. My hands hurt and are tingly. My blood pressure and all tests are great. Wearing compression stockings. I’m using essential oils ( safely and under advisement ) taking baths and foot baths. My latear PHE level was 2.5 after being increased last week to 2000 mg phe / 40 grams protein. My weight is steady. It’s hard to breathe still baby is very high and very active. I have a terrible wet cough when I lie down it feels like fluid building up so I sleep kinda sitting up with lots of pillows under my head ,shoulders, knees and feet. I still go to chriopractor two times a week and massage weekly. We celebrated our 14 year anniversary this week and went for a float at bliss float center and it really felt good on my hips and back. I even got to check off my list item of my first ever Oreo Blizzard from dairy Queen. This week my midwife appt is a home visit and my weekly massage and chiro. Trying to fit some fun and relaxation in as well. Maybe a swim or some yoga if I can get past the discomfort from the swelling. We got our carseats installed this week to so much much left to do on our list of things before baby comes. Almost ready ! I ordered matching shirts for the girls that say big sister little sister and a doll for Madelyn as a gift from her sister. Almost have everything we need other than a few small things . Mostly wants not needs.
Hoping to make it to the first week of August at the very least.

Here is what baby center.ca  has to say about week 37

#37weekspregnant
#fullterm #anytimenow #butnottosoon
Your baby weighs close to 6.5 pounds / 2.8 kilograms and may be about 20 inches / 50 centimetres long from head to toe. Your baby’s head is now cradled in your pelvic cavity — surrounded and protected by your pelvic bones. This position clears some much-needed space for her growing legs and buttocks.

Many babies now have a full head of hair, with locks maybe around one inch / 2.5 centimetres long. But don’t be surprised if her hair isn’t the same colour as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes taken aback when their children are born with bright red or blond hair, and fair-haired couples likewise can produce babies with dark hair. And then, of course, some babies don’t have any hair at all.

check back tomorrow for week 38 tomorrow!
