37 weeks!

This baby is officially full term now. We've made it so far and now it's just a matter of waiting it out. I still haven't experienced any of the signs of labor. I know it happens differently for everyone but I'm looking for anything that can tell me I'm getting close! I have a doctor's appoitment tomorrow so I'll see what he has to say. I'm feeling ok; I just have a general feeling of discomfort. Also, my hands have been going numb. It's worse when I'm sleeping and when I'm at work. I've been trying to take frequent breaks but it's very annoying.

There's really nothing new going on. Jack should be ready for life on the outside now that he's full term. He's getting bigger too- about 6 pounds. He's gaining a few ounces each week. Basically all we can do now is wait. I thought he might make his appearance early in December, but now I'm thinking it'll be later. I'd love for him to be born next weekend or anytime the week of the 14th, but it's up to him! I kind of hate not knowing when it'll happen. I'm really hoping that I'm not still pregnant on Christmas! I'm just trying to take it day by day and go on as normal as possible. As long as he's healthy, that's all that matters now.
