37 Weeks

We have made it to 37 weeks!  Only a few more to go!  This week is becoming the cut off point for any extra, non-essential activity.  We will maintain our daily/weekly routine, and I have a to-do list to complete before delivery.  Other than that, my swollen legs, knees and feet have demanded a significant reduction in activity, and I am reluctantly ceding to them.  As for "baby brover," he is an estimated 6 1/3 pounds and is slightly longer than 19 inches.  He is getting bigger and bigger on a daily basis.  Oddly, he is a daytime grow-er, and therefore, there is a visible change in size each afternoon.  With the girls, they initially grew once per week -- at night and on Thursdays.  They continued to be nighttime grow-ers so I simply woke up larger than the day before. 

A final note on this go-around... there has been a new development on the cravings front.  I am totally fixated on coconut shaved ice and have gotten the entire family on board with this one.  Our local Sno Shack is owned/operated by the nicest gentleman.  My only quibble with his establishment?  He has very limited hours, and therefore, my shave ice needs are only marginally met.  The Shack is closed entirely on Sundays and Mondays, and is only open a few hours during the week.  He clearly has no comprehension of the business he is forfeiting during these final weeks of pregnancy.
