37 weeks and term

This has been an emotional transition for me. There was a long period of time when I thought I would never have a child. Then, while pregnant, I lived in fear of miscarriage. Then preterm labor. Now, I am officially term (early term, but still). I will not have a preemie. Given that I spend my days in the NICU right now, that is a huge relief. I am so lucky, and feel so grateful.

37 weeks:

How far along? 37w1d
Maternity Clothes? Still huge. I bought one cheap nursing bra and one cheap nursing tank top. They don't fit my ginormous boobs that well, but I wanted something cheap to tide me over until I know how big I'll be, at which point I'll invest in nice stuff.
Who have you told? We have told everyone we plan on telling until the baby is born.
Any movement? Still feeling lots of movement, but he is definitely getting cramped.
Symptoms: Bad back pain, bad pelvic pain, exhaustion, itchy/painful stretch marks. Still very much enjoying the ride.
Best moment this week: Making it to term.
Major milestones: Term. Amazing. 
Major purchases this week: Our stroller! When I got pregnant the first time, I had my heart set on this one stroller. Obviously it didn't work out. Now it is in my house. Wow.
Looking forward to next week: Moving into our house and starting to get things ready!

35 weeks

Work is killing me.

35 weeks:

How far along? 35w6d
Maternity Clothes? I'm huge!
Who have you told? Same as before. No one new. We have told everyone we plan on telling until the baby is born.
Any movement? Still feeling lots of movement, although I've noticed it's changed character, I think he's running out of room.
Symptoms: Intermittent excruciating back pain that landed me in OB triage the other day. Thankfully the baby was ok. Also, stretch marks started at 33+0 and have been multiplying ever since. While I obviously don't like the way they look, I am trying to embrace them. A small price to pay if I finally get a take home baby.
Best moment this week: My mom and my sister surprised me for a "baby shower" weekend - they flew out here, totally totally surprised me, and we had a wonderful day together.
Major milestones: Passed 35/35. Officially late preterm as of 34w, and as of today only 8 days till TERM!
Major purchases this week: We got a bunch of nice gifts from my family.
Looking forward to next week: Closing on our house on Monday, zomg!
