36 Weeks and Counting

Holy Cow this is all going so fast! Time for updates again...

How far along?  36 weeks

How big is the babe?  I am a teensy bit terrified. We had a sono 2 weeks ago and they said he was measuring 8.7lbs!!!! I am hoping those things aren't very accurate. That could mean we have a VERY BIG boy!


Total weight gain/loss? Latest appointment I was up 22lbs :) 


Maternity clothes? Oh yes. I can do some non maternity, but I have been wearing all maternity since these are the last few weeks of our pregnancy, I want to be sure I am getting tons of use out of them. I definitely invested in my maternity wardrobe. I wanted my bump to be styling :).

Sleep? hahaha! Yeah right! A bagillion pee breaks... waking everytime you roll over ( it feels sooo weird to be moving a giant belly around) then re-positioning pillows to support said giant belly.. waking the giant baby while rolling around resulting in monster baby feet stuck in your ribs... and constant braxton hicks... doesn't leave a lot of room for actual sleep.  I guess it's good prep for the sleepless nights to come! 


Best moment this week? This boy is strong and active. I love feeling and watching him move around... even though it can be a teensy bit painful at times. I think he is running out of room and trying to karate kick his way out of there now!


Symptoms?  Severe acid reflux. Tums are like candy these days. SEVERE rib pain. Not much back pain, but no one told me how much your ribs can hurt. They get iced almost nightly!

Food cravings?  No food cravings, but I can't get enough root beer... so weird!

Labor signs?  Nothing major, but tons... I mean TONS of braxton hicks. I was a little concerned, because you apparently aren't supposed to have more than 6 an hour and we blow that number out of the water. The doc thinks that the baby is just so big that when I move/stand/do anything he is just putting a lot of pressure on my muscles causing them. 


Belly button in or out? So far it's still sort of in, but it's definitely working it's way out. 


Wedding Ring off or on? Ring and bands are all still on. No finger swelling yet! 


Bump? Majorly bumping! I seem to be all belly these days. I have also consistently measured 2cm larger than average for the last few appointments.
