It is so exciting!! I'm so ready for this little one to be here! and get to hold him and kiss him, and ugh I'm just ready!

Ok first off I got some pictures to show ya! Baby Bump Pictures!!
some comparing pictures also! from Week 17, Week 27, and of course todays Week 37. so here we go!

I"M HUGE!! LOL

So there you go, the difference that can happen in 20 weeks!! CRAZY!!!

and here is the rest of the pictures from today

BARE BELLY!! and the view I see when I look down!

So what's been going on.. Last Thursday we had a practice run, I guess you could call it. 

I had a deployment briefing that night, and I wasn't comfortable all day, and when I was at the briefing, I started having pains, I tried to ignore it thinking it wasn't anything, but it started to get worse, and closer together the later it got into the meeting. So when I got home I told Aaron and we started timing them. they were 12-13 minutes apart for about two hours, then dropped to 11-10 minutes for about an hour then it went to 7 minutes and sat there for 3 hours, the contractions getting stronger and closer together. we had called the doctor a couple times and the last time we called the nurse suggested that I try a hot shower, and try to sleep. and if they get down to 5 minutes apart to come right in. Well Aaron went to bed, while I was taking a shower, and then I tried to sleep also. I didn't get to sleep until about 2am I finally fell asleep waking up when ever I had a contraction. the contractions stalled out at 7minutes.. and they went backed off over night and by morning they were an hour apart and then completely disappeared... so we put all of our familes on high alert for no reason.. it was a false alarm.. 

There are somethings in the works right now, that I'm not going to get into so we don't jinks it! But once we got the ok, and everything I'll be telling you when I can!

SO that's it for this week.. just that one false alarm on Thursday, nothing to exciting been going on here. 

Baby's now the size of a watermelon!
Your full-term (yay!) baby is gaining about 1/2 ounce a day and getting his first sticky poop (called meconium) ready. He's also brushing up on skills for the outside world: blinking, sucking, inhaling, exhaling, and gripping (it's getting strong!).

Your Baby in Week 37 of Pregnancy 

Congratulations! You've got what is officially considered a full-term baby, even with three weeks to go. That doesn't mean he's finished growing — in fact, he's still packing on about a half pound a week (at this age, the average fetus weighs about 6.5 pounds). That makes it a little crowded in your uterus, so he’s probably not kicking as much, though he’s probably stretching, rolling a bit, and wiggling (all of which you’ll be able to feel!). Right now, your little superstar is busy rehearsing for his big debut, inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid (to get the lungs ready for that first breath), sucking his thumb (to prepare for that first suckle of milk), blinking, and turning from side to side.
