37

How many weeks:  37 weeks - FULL term!

How am I feeling: I am so ready to meet Noah.  I am a little nervous about how and when he will come, but I cannot wait!

Doctor’s Appointment:  I saw the OB today for a check-up and u/s.  I had my cerclage removed on Monday the 11th.  When I was sent home I was 3cm dilated and Noah was in station +3.  They didn't mention any effacement.  I am just waiting around for him to make his debut!

Maternity Clothes:  Seriously, is there anything else??  :0)

Baby Preparation: We are ready for Noah.

Gender: precious baby boy (confirmed on many separate u/s - so anything different would totally catch us off guard LOL)

Name:  Noah Reagan McCleskey.  It means Peaceful Little King.  Pretty sweet!

Sleep:  I haven't slept at night in a long time.   I sleep some during the day, but not much.  It's weird, as I'm tired, but the sleep just won't come.  I may get 2 hours here and there, and it seems to be enough to keep me going a the moment.  :0)

Best moment this week:  Having the cerclage removed and hearing them say how dilated I was.  God was with us helping that stitch keep Noah safe.

Movement:  He moves quite a bit, so any quiet times get me worried.

Food cravings: not too much.  I feel pretty nauseous all the time.  I think it's from being tired, and the extreme heat we have here right now.  I do still love a good peanut butter sandwich!

What I am looking forward to: Really being in labor & knowing that I'll see this small one soon.

Milestones: Today is  a milestone that I have cried out to God for...I am full term as of today.  I still can't get over how quickly this journey has gone by us.

Pictures:  
I never (in a bazillion years) thought I'd want to share a photo like this, but it brings such overwhelming joy to me when I look at it:
