37 and 38 week update

How far along:
38 weeks, earlier on in pregnancy I had myself convinced that I wouldn't make it this far, all my friends have had their babies very, very early and I just assumed so would I.
However, at my doctor's appointment today I was told baby's head is still not engaged, so knowing my luck, she will probably make us wait another 4 weeks.

Baby is the size of a:
last week it was a leek, this week baby is the size of a bunch of celery. The whole vegetable comparison has been a bit weird, especially when I see mummies-to-be in the U.S. post pictures of the same vegetable, twice the size they are here.

18lbs

still a mixture

Stretch Marks?
who knows, I don't care really

I invested in a memory foam mattress topper, which has definitely improved things, but I still wake up with hip pain from sleeping on my side.
