36 Weeks

Date: 5/30/13
How far along? 36 Weeks~ in the one month window! Cant believe it.
Baby Size? Watermelon ~baby is approx 6.5 lbs now according to What to Expect App
Total weight gain:  32 lbs
Maternity clothes? dresses- some maternity and some not. Although it is hot, it’s still nice being pregnant in the warm weather because I think it’s so much easier to dress than the winter months.
Stretch marks? none on belly yet and hoping it stays that way.
Miss Anything? summer cocktails
Movement: Moving a good bit still.
Food cravings: not much for cravings this week….other than desserts
Symptoms:  heartburn –seems to have really subsided  exhaustion-still tired at night and usually getting sleeping around 3pm  shortness of breath– talking a lot at one time exhausts me! 
Belly Button in or out? still an innie, but becoming deformed
Wedding rings on or off? on for now
Sleep:  Sleep well with the Boppy body pillow.  Ready for bed by 9pm.
Best moment this week:  Had a wonderful and relaxing Memorial Day weekend. Went out on the boat twice and worked on my tan for baby Brody’s arrival! Also had my final shower at my old office in Mississippi this week which was so nice and got to see two other wonderful friends while I was there. It was so much fun catching up!
Exercise:  Walking and swimming…had my last pilates class yesterday.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  nope! 
Gender Prediction: It’s a  BOY
Labor Signs: No- not yet.  No real cramping or anything. No Braxton hicks as far as I can tell. 
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, excited and anxious! Can’t believe it’s basically his birth month! 
Looking forward to: washing Brody’s things this weekend. Packing the hospital bag for me and him and getting ready for his arrival. Matt is out of town this weekend for a work trip, so me and mom are going to knock stuff out!!


Doctors Update: I had my 36 week doctors appointment this morning. Not even 1 cm dialated. I was measuring a little smaller today…35 weeks instead of 36 weeks. Doc estimated if I went full term baby would maybe be in the high 7s or low 8s for weight. Well see.  I go back on Tuesday!
