Week 36

Pregnancy Stats:

How Far Along: 36 1/2 weeks

Size of baby: Small watermelon

Total Weight Gain: Current Weight: 161 lbs.... sigh.

Gender: Our bets are officially in as we've started a family and friends "birth pool" on the gender and actual birth date. My guess: December 17th - boy. Casey's guess - December 19th - girl. We shall see soon!

Movement: Baby P really likes to try to stretch out in there and I feel a foot or knee poking out on my right side quite often. Other than that, he/she stays put pretty well. :) One new thing - constant hiccups for my poor little baby. I know your pain little one!

Sleep: I waddle out of bed several times a night, usually every hour on the hour. It's so normal now that I honestly don't mind.

What I miss: Wearing shoes with shoelaces, wearing my regular clothes, being able to hug Casey without leaning forward.

Cravings: Cereal, milk, subway, burgers, spicy food.

Symptoms: Contractions, contractions, contractions. I've been timing them tonight and it's been kind of nerve wracking... I keep asking myself should I call the nurse line at the hospital or am I making a big deal out of nothing? At my appointment yesterday I was only dilated to 1 so there's really no way I am in labor right now... right? My contractions have just never been this regular for this long so it was making me nervous. I'm sure everything is fine and that I'm just getting anxious. Time will tell! Other than contractions, sausage feet are in full effect, heartburn is killing me slowly, and my back and hips hurt. Other than that I feel pretty good!

Maternity Clothes: Stretching to the max...


Best Moment this week: All the love and support from my friends at work. Also, my husband changing up the words to LMFAO's "I'm Sexy and I Know It" to say "Waddle, waddle, waddle, waddle, waddle, YEAH!" instead of "Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle...." Haha - what would I do without that guy making me laugh constantly?
