Third Trimester: Weeks 35 and 36

I've finally reached full term, which means that baby boy can come any day now! But at 37 weeks, my little guy doesn't seem to have any interest in making his grand entrance. I have about 2 weeks left until my due date so we'll see if he chooses to be early, on time or late... of course I'm rooting for early or on time! The past 2 weeks have been rough- lots of pain in different places.

* Braxton Hicks... still not intense enough to cause effacement

* frequent urination... this is typically coupled with the Braxton Hicks contractions

* cervical pain... yes, this is still happening (that wonderful pulled muscle feeling)

* inner upper thigh nerve pain/cramps... these have become more intense, at times making it impossible to move

* acid reflux 

* sharp shooting pains in lower abdomen/cervix... again, it's due to his head- he moves his head and it causes MAJOR pain

* lower back pain

* swollen fingers

* sleepiness 

I also started drinking a third trimester tea and began taking 1 evening primrose oil capsule (1000mg) per night.  Below are my pics from weeks 35 and 36 (and yes, I'm wearing a onesie in the second pic! lol). My next update will be the week of my due date! Do you think I'll make it? Let me know! =)
