Week 37 - Everything I Want to Remember

How far along:  37 weeks 5 days 
Total weight gain/loss:  Up 25 lbs. (Current weight = 123 lbs)
Maternity clothes:  I am ready to stop wearing them and get back into some of pre-pregnancy clothes!
Stretch marks:  None (Thank God)
Sleep:  Trying to take the advice of parents I know who keep telling me to sleep now because I won't be able to once Cub Scout arrives.  I take afternoon naps, sleep in a little longer...
Movement:  No changes in movement but we have had the addition of hiccups for a few weeks now.
Cravings:  Wine! I wouldn't say it is so much a craving as I'm just really looking forward to having a glass at some point.   It didn't help that we went to a wine bar with friends after dinner for a night cap and all I could do was smell Mr. Cub Scout's wine.
Aversions:  None
Gender:  A little man
Symptoms:  Nothing you would expect this late in the game - no swelling, no cramping, no pelvic pressure
What I miss:  My mobility
What I look forward to:  The end result...I've been pregnant long enough now
Moods:  Mostly calm and content.  Some days a little anxious at what's just around the corner but other days just peaceful and ready to begin the next phase of this journey.
Milestones:  I reached full-term this week
Medical Concerns:  None
Weekly Wisdom:  Family is the greatest thing in the world
Worst moment this week:  The only thing to complain about is the heat and living in a house without air conditioning
Best moment this week:  Having some guy in the checkout line in front of me say "Do you know you're having a boy?"  "Why do you say that?" I ask.  He says "because you haven't lost your beauty."  LMFAO.  I've heard that old wives' tale that girls steal your looks and I've been pretty fortunate that I look exacty the same during this pregnancy as I did previously and the only weight gain I've had is in the belly.  Cheesey as his line may have been I loved it :)  What 9 months' pregnant woman wouldn't love to hear that?? :)
