Perplexed- I felt that exact same way on Monday. I had cramps so bad that I literally felt like I was getting my period and had to remind myself I was pregnant. lol I was also very irritable, tired, and generally moody on Monday. So, that didn't help with the fact that I felt like I was getting a period! You probably are having mild contractions.
That's funny about your dream! You never know who it will be.
Beanonorder- That is adorable about your daughter. Poor thing is so tired. I hope she gets back on a good sleep schedule again soon! I'm sure you are itching to do your swimming again. Happy 37 weeks!
I'm also 37 weeks today (at least). Lately, I've been going back and forth between feeling like this baby isn't too far away from arriving and thinking I still have a good bit of time.
After my period feelings on Monday, I slept great and I was feeling a ton better. I felt better pretty much all day yesterday. I didn't have any contractions at all. No nesting urge either. I was just laid back. But then, last night, some contractions got started while I was in bed (on an empty bladder and everything). And I was wondering if they were going to amount to anything, but they never got stronger or closer together. I kept thinking, "Body, at least wait until my MIL is here! And preferably until after 38 weeks!" So maybe I mentally stopped it. lol
And there are other times I think I may end up going past my due date. I am actually not feeling heavily pregnant right now. I don't feel done or just over it all. I don't really even look ready to have a baby. So, I'm wondering if that's all just a sign that I'm meant to go more than the 3 weeks until my due date. You just never know! I still haven't lost my mucus plug or had any other signs of real labor coming soon other than contractions here and there. I also think baby Holly needs to get in a better position. I can definitely feel her head down there, but I also can definitely feel that she has her hands up above her head.
I felt her sweet little foot from the outside last night! It was in the right side of my belly. I'm thinking she has her back to my left side, her butt curled up near the top, and her feet curled up under to the right side. EDIT: Realizing that the picture on my ticker looks like how I think she is positioned except with hands over her head. Ha!
it really disrupts my day to day stuff. I wonder if I need to drink more water, just haven't been keeping track of my intake so it might actually be low. 
happy 37 weeks!
