how far along: 36 weeks, 4 days
size of baby: a honeydew {17.2-18.7 inches, 4.2-5.8 pounds}
gender: baby girl!
weight gain: up 29 pounds! so much for doing so well the last few weeks…definitely caught up with me!
maternity clothes: all the time! I want to live in leggings or jammies!
stretch marks: keeping them away with my Mustela cream!
rings: off {starting at 32 weeks}
nursery: just missing a baby!
movement: always moving around! I’m definitely feeling more in my hips and lower areas…and smaller parts, like feet and elbows I think!
symptoms: feeling pretty lucky that I still feel good! I get the occasional discomfort in my back and feet if I’m standing for long periods, but just a general fatigue I think! I definitely feel better with a little nap or rest on the couch! I also feel pretty tight in my abdomen area after I’ve been laying down a while. things are stretching and cramping I think…
labor signs: feeling some irregular little contractions every once in a while, but that’s it!
sleep: sleeping well still! {poor hubby says I must be sleeping really well because I’ve developed a slight snoring habit…hope this goes away when the baby weight does!}
cravings: toppers pizza, doughnuts, & cereal…totally healthy, right?!
aversions: nothing specific.
what I miss: the ability to get up and down easily!
best moment this week: nothing specific this week, but every day is exciting because we are getting that much closer! {I wouldn’t call it the best moment, but we had our labor and delivery class last night at Kaiser! we’re definitely on information overload…I’m not sure if I needed to know all of that stuff!}
looking forward to: decorating onesies and other baby crafts this afternoon with a couple of friends, one with an adorable baby girl and the other with a little boy on the way! also a fun night out with the hubby and my sister and her boyfriend this Friday to go see Eric Church! may be our last hoo rah for a while!
