Week 37 Update

Week 37- Little over 3 weeks to go!

Start of Lent this past week and for my Lenten Promise I have given up chocolate. I was going to give up sweets entirely but I knew that I would probably want some type of sweet after I have the baby and I think that I will deserve it at that point. I know already that they give us a celebration dinner at the hospital which includes cupcakes, so I decided to forego giving up all sweets. Chocolate is my main culprit anyway and that will be difficult enough to be without for 40 days and my last days of pregnancy. However, I will say overall that I have done very good with not letting myself go and just pigging out on junk food throughout my pregnancy. I was actually kind of worried when I did not gain any weight last week and this is the point when the baby should be packing on the pounds!

I went to the doctor on Friday and he said everything looks good, except he said there does not seem to be alot of space in my pelvic area. He said not too worry at this point, still time to stretch out. So we will see what happens. In the meantime, I am doing lots of squats, pelvic rocks and walking to get that area stretched out. I figured anything is worth the try!

Ryan put the car seat in the car today. The only problem is that it is a tight squeeze in our garage to get the car seat in and out. I may need to have the car out of the garage to get the baby in and out. I think that did not put Ryan in a good mood today because he hates our small garage! I also began to pack my bags for the hospital just in case!

Hope everyone has a Happy St. Patrick's Day! Drink some green beer for me!
