36 & 37 weeks and Baby Shower pics

The weeks are starting to blend together and I was on vacation last week so I completely forgot to post an update! We'll just merge them together, the last 2 weeks have been pretty much the same. 


How far along? 37 weeks
How big is the peanut? Watermelon (WOW!)
Total weight gain/loss? Since I'm starting to swell now, I'm stopping my weight gain at 40lbs. Also because I don't want to step on the scale. I also stopped looking at the OB weekly. 
Maternity clothes? Yep
Sleep? It's a crapshoot these days. One night I sleep great and only get up once to pee, other nights I toss and turn because my hips are killing me. Sitting isn't easy these days either. 
Best moment this week? Well, we had an ultrasound on the 20th and little girl was sideways, so we scheduled a c/s just in case. There's still plenty of fluid and room for her to move the doc said but we might as well put it on the books just in case. So we picked 12/12/12, might as well give her a cool birthday if we can pick it. We also got a cleaning lady that I am hoping to budget in monthly. We've used her before a few times a year and she is fantastic!
Symptoms? Heartburn, varicose vains (I'm wearing those support hose now, they are pretty nice. My legs are not killing me by then end of the day)
Food cravings? Water, can't get enough
Food aversions? No aversions, just can't eat a normal size meal anymore without feeling like I am going to blow up
Gender? Baby girl who doesn't want to go head down!
Labor signs? Getting pressure in the girly bits. The best way I can describe it is it feels like I have a tampon in wrong and it's pinching. Also getting Braxton Hicks almost every hour
Belly button in or out? Out, way out!
Stretch Marks? Nothing on the belly yet, still lotioning up like crazy. I'm sure they will show up after she comes
Movement? Lots and lots! I don't have to do kick counts, this women moves at least 20 times an hour
Wedding rings on or off? Off and I miss them horribly 
What I miss? Just about everything and anything at this point. I have a whole new appreciation for pregnant women in their last few weeks now!
What I'm looking forward to? Meeting my baby girl! You're fully cooked AJ, let's get movin!
Milestones? Most of my websites say 37 weeks is considered full term, so yah!!
Bump? Here's both weeks
 

And now some shower pictures
Tables












Everyone filled this out for AJ
 

My mother-in-law, sister-in-law's, Grandma-in-law, and Joe's nieces. Below is one on the games we played, everyone had to make a baby out of Play-doh.
