 37 weeks. Tanks is as long a hunk of swiss chard. I have pretty much given up on weights. I have no clue how much bugger weighs, just more than 6lbs. I am counting down the days until maternity leave and NO MORE WORK. 11 more days. I have really started to feel uncomfortable and I am sure I am not at the pinnacle yet. Its my hips, "sit bones" and coccyx. My hormones must be starting to kick in and loosen all those ligaments. Everything seems to take effort now of days too. Taking the stairs at work leaves me with an elevated HR and short of breath. Tank is still moving as much as ever. He enjoys the right side. I don't think he has "dropped yet" either.

I had an OB appointment today. I am 173lbs (same as last week). Babies heart rate was 135. So far so good. I have another appointment next week and so on and so on until Tank arrives. I am thinking he is pretty comfortable and will most likely be in for 41 weeks.

Aunt Kay and Uncle Todd get in on Friday. Will be fun to have family around and hopefully we will be able to catch some fish!
