Baby is measuring 1 week bigger, so I'm measuring closer to 37 weeks. I don't have any "feelings" or "signs" that this baby will come early. In fact, I'm trying to mentally prepare myself that I might be overdue again so I won't be really disappointed if my due date comes and goes! I do feel more Braxton Hicks, but nothing to get excited about yet!

I have thought this whole pregnancy that I was having a boy until a few weeks ago. A few weeks ago I got a strong feeling this baby is a girl. I don't know why and I could be totally wrong. I guess we'll find out soon enough!

I've gotten a lot of things scratched off my to-do list:

- I need to get my hospital bag partially packed, & have a little bag for Jenna ready.
- Stock up on postpartum essentials
- Install my car seat base again and wash the car seat interior
- Get out the swing, newborn seat, and bassinet
- Book my newborn photos (My mom got me a gift certificate for Portrait Innovations!)
- Get at least 5 freezer meals ready (My friend Andrea tells me not to worry about this one, that she's got me covered!)
- Deep clean my house (this may never happen!)
- Get at least 50% of my Christmas shopping done

I have been blessed to have a really easy and healthy pregnancy, so I feel bad complaining about anything (I know plenty of people have serious issues worth complaining about)...but I do have one complaint...pelvic pain.

The past month has been a lot harder on me than any other time in the pregnancy. I have some pelvic issues going on that have made me so uncomfortable. I was fine until one day I was getting out of my truck and it felt like I put a strain on my hip. Then it kind of felt like my hip needed to pop. After that I was constantly getting sore in my pelvic area, hips and groin. I can only describe as feeling like a Barbie doll and with every move it feels like someone is trying to pop your leg right off your body.

Some days are better than others and I feel ok (not 100%, but not awful). Other days I can barely walk or barely push the grocery cart without feeling like I'm going to fall over and die. I started wearing a support belt around my lower belly and hips and that has helped a lot. I have also become more careful to avoid sitting indian-style and avoid getting in and out of vehicles and the bed too quickly. My doctor also did some stretching exercises with me and it seemed to help a lot. I never had any pain like this with Jenna, so it's something entirely new to me. I have heard people say with each consecutive pregnancy pain like this can get worse. I just hope it doesn't get worse in the next few weeks.
