37 weeks. Full term.

Tomorrow 11/08/16 we will be entering 38 weeks, I thought doing the week update at the end of the week would be better. We need 2 more weeks, 15 days to meet our Jared. I feel like time is just going by super slow now! Like the pregnancy it self went by fast but this past month has gone by so slow. I've had people tell me that I don't even look like I have two weeks left, or that he might not be born on his due date but who knows!? This Friday we have another appointment hopefully they can give me good news! Justin will be out of town (sad face) but I'll have my other support system with me aka my mother. There is this thing with mothers you know? that no one can ever replace! My dad always tell me " I never thought I would get to see the day were you would be pregnant" and he gets a little emotional but who wouldn't with their only daughter!? My mom always tells me "being a mother changes you, and a mother will protect and defend her kids no matter from what or from who" I believe it because that's the type of mother she was with me!

Symptoms: I am extremely glad that my feet did not get swollen! You guys don't understand how scared I was to have my feet looking like tamales. I know that might not be as a big deal to some, but seen my mother feet swollen with my brother , I was prepared for the worse. I honestly thought that was something that came with pregnancy no matter what. Like there was nothing to avoid that, but it is true what they say every pregnancy is DIFFERENT. My body is aching constantly so I take warm showers and that helps, it is the only thing that helps me get thru it. My stretch marks have stopped, I do have them in my stomach and got a few on my arms but that is about it. I did't get any on my legs or breast. I've been using the cocoa butter because my belly gets really itchy.
Anytime I get up from sitting down or laying down I get pain in my pelvic area. I'm getting Braxton hicks contraction. Sometimes I get really bad hot flashes, I can be sitting or laying down and I'll just start to sweat randomly. There are days were I wake up super tired!

About Jared: According to Babybump he is 19.25 in and weights around 6.3 lbs, I have an app called what to expect and that lets me know what is new with baby every week and this week Jared is head down I think he went head down at 35 weeks, baby is still moving a lot and sucking his thumb to practice his nursing skills. Sometimes I poke where ever I feel him and I do it three times and he moves three time I don't know how he does that but he does the first time I tried that I was super shocked! I talk to him and read him this book that has been passed down to me from my mom that was passed down to Larry from my cousin, it has all the Disney stories. Its called Disney's Family Storybook Collection, he really seems to like it. Whenever I go to a place where there is a lot of noise he moves like crazy, I tell Justin and my mom that he is a chismoso haha.
I have a playlist on Pandora under La Orega de Van Gogh that has a lot of old songs from Mana, Shakira, and more and every time I play that he moves, so I'm guessing he likes them? Jared has been getting the hiccups a lot! I feel bad for him, I myself don't like getting them, so I can't imagine  how he feels getting them four times or more a day. He also started to do this thing where it feels like he is jumping, I call the Drs office and they told me that it's More than likely that he is sneezing. So now every time I feel him doing that I say "bless you baby" just in case haha.

Dr appointment: We went to the Drs on Saturday they checked my blood pressure like always and after that they did the NST, NST is the no stress test is just a way to check  on baby's heartbeat. They do that for about 20 minutes. After that we got to see baby, we saw that he was facing up so we got to see his chin, eyes and we got see that he is a BOY! Than they checked my cervix nurse actually felt baby's head and said I opened up just a little, but that my cervix was still high. I don't know exactly what that means.
