•How far along?: 36 weeks! We made it to my goal! 9 months pregnant, and boy do I feel the part!•Current Weight: 143!!!
•Total weight gain: +20 from pre-pregnancy weight.
•How big is baby?: Large cantaloupe. 5 pounds 12 ounces on Wednesday.
•Movement: All.The.Time. He loves pushing his feet and butt out.
•Stretch marks?: Unfortunately, they've shown up late. I have some light ones on both hips, and just a few light ones on my lower back, off to the sides. Plus the one on top of my belly button.
•Sleep?: Getting worse again. I have to roll over all the time (about every hour) because my hips feel like they're splitting, with terrible achy pains.
•Symptoms?: Minimal heartburn (thank you Zantac!), TERRIBLE hip pain, lower pressure, and minimally swollen fingers, toes and ankles. No cankles though, fortunately.
•Food aversions?: Not currently.
•Food cravings?: Hamburgers, cheese, pizza, pasta..Nothing different.
•Labor signs?: I thought I dropped last week at 35 weeks, but it's obvious that this week I have definitely dropped. Some cramps, BH, and I had a few of what I think were real contractions. But nothing regular or consistent.
•Belly button in or out?: Some in and some out, depending on where he's laying and whether or not I'm contracting.
•What I miss: Bending over, moving easily, deep breaths in, and seeing the skin below my belly button line.
•What I'm looking forward to: Meeting Cael! His nursery is 99.9% done, and all ready for him!! As of now, we just have to hang his letters, and get curtain rods for the valances.
•Best Moment this week: Finishing the nursery. It's so surreal now!
•Milestone: Getting to 36 weeks! Which was the goal!
