37 Weeks

37 weeks down, 3 more to go!  Baby Stepp is considered full-term today.  That means her lungs are fully developed so if she decides to come now she should be fine.  

She's approximately 6 1/3 pounds and over 19 inches from head to heel.  No wonder my belly is so huge!  It's still blows my mind that she can fit up in there.  It's so cool that I can clearly identify her little butt from her legs and feet now.

The past few mornings I have woken up with an achy and tired belly.  I am having Braxton Hicks contractions while I am sleeping and when I wake it feels like I have been doing sit-ups all night long.  Unfortunately I don't have a six pack to show for it.  

My maternity leave starts today!  We are kicking it off by heading to San Francisco for the evening.  We are going to the Giants game and I am hoping we get to see the Braves put a whooping on them!  Brandon and I were looking at the Braves roster the other night and there are so many new players now.  It's amazing to me that Chipper Jones is still playing.  I remember watching him play way back in the day at Fulton County stadium.  I must have been in 4th or 5th grade at the time.  He was just beginning his baseball career then, now he's a bit past his prime but I am still excited to see him play.  Go Braves!!
