Week 37: Watermelon! Your baby weighs close to 6.5 pounds and may be about 20 inches long from head to toe. Its head is now cradled in your pelvic cavity -- surrounded and protected by your pelvic bones. This position clears some much-needed space for her growing legs and buttocks.

I went for my check-up this morning, and things are getting there. I gained a pound and a half (thought I lost.. my scale lies!) and everything else was fine. Baby is lower, but not fully dropped. At least it is not breach!

My heartburn issues have finally eased up, thanks to the wonderful little pink pill named Zantac. Ahh... relief. Worth every penny.

I have been getting more Braxton Hicks contractions, but nothing regular. Most of the pain/discomfort I experience is from when the baby moves and pushes so unbelievably hard it's shocking. Mike and I went to the movies on Saturday night and with every push & kick, all I could think of is I better not go into labour the one night Mike and I get to go on a date (it was our 6th wedding anniversary yesterday!)!

Hi sweetie,

How does the time rush by like this? I can't believe you are going to have your baby so soon!! Wasn't it just the other day we had the phone chat where I told you I was preggers too?! Now you have just a handful of time to go, and I am going to go in about 11...it's so amazing.

I am so sorry I haven't answered your e-mail and will put it in my book for MONDAY! On the weekend if I can but am heading to San Diego to shoot a few stories.

I miss you! I send you the best vibes ever in case they're needed before I get in touch...

Love,
Tam
xoxo
