36 Weeks

PREGNANCY HIGHLIGHTS:

WEEKS: 36 weeks!

BABY'S SIZE: 18.5 inches, 6 lbs, the baby is the size/weight of a crenshaw melon!

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN: 31 lbs now which I wholeheartedly blame on the Holiday season ; )

SLEEP:  Getting up multiple times every night to go to the bathroom and then just laying there feeling her swim around.  Nature is definitely getting me ready for sleepless nights to come.  

MOVEMENT: She is a mover and a shaker who gets hiccups all the time now!

SYMPTOMS:  Hard to get off the couch and floor otherwise moving around pretty good and no waddling yet! : )

WHAT I MISS: Taking long walks outside and enjoying the sunshine while at the parks!

CRAVINGS: Holding a snuggly and warm baby.

MATERNITY CLOTHES: Here and there but mostly just wearing comfy shorts/sweats after work.

WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO:  Getting over this cold and seeing our girl on ultrasound again this week.  (Baby is measuring a tad small so we get to see her on U/S again just to check and make sure everything is a-okay!)
PREGNANCY PROGRESS:  At today's appt was I was 2 cm dilated, 50% effaced and baby girl is head down and sitting at a -1.  So after calling in and being sick last Thursday, Friday and throughout the weekend it was time to kick it into high gear.  In just a few short hours I have washed and sterilized all the bottles, nuks and pump supplies.  Washed and ironed her sheets and blankets, packed the hospital bags and scrubbed the bathroom thoroughly.  (The BR just really needed a good cleaning!)  We are ready to meet this baby and have decided that my last day at work is Feb 4th that is if she doesn't come any earlier so here's to my last few weeks at work and enjoying the small things!
