| 36 weeks! |
 |
| Mommy & Peanut - sorry for how bad I look, just got off my 3rd straight 12 hour night shift. |
How far along? 36 weeks - 4 more weeks to go!
Baby size: a honeydew for one more week - approx. 4.2-5.8 lb and 43-47 cm
Maternity clothes: Yes, but even some of them are getting small on me. Anxious to get back into my normal clothes soon.
Stretch marks: About a dozen or so new red marks at the top of my belly. I can tell she is sitting up a lot higher then Meredith did. All of my stretch marks from Meredith are lower on my belly.
Sleep: Not horrible, leg cramps come and go. I am getting up to go to the bathroom a lot throughout the night. I usually take a Benedryl which helps me sleep pretty well.
Gender: Sweet little girl :)
Best moments of the week: Getting closer and closer to meeting my sweet little princess. Plus we finally got Meredith moved into her new room and the nursery put back together for a baby. We also had our maternity pictures done too. Everything is ready for her to arrive whenever she wants to now.
Looking forward to: My due date! Can't wait to meet this sweet little peanut.
What I miss: being comfortable! It doesn't matter how I sit, stand, or lay - I am always uncomfortable. I am just ready to have my body back and get back to feeling normal again.
Movement: Plenty of rolls, stretches and jabs. She loves to push on my left side just under my ribs. We have a pushing war. She pushes out and I push back. Think she is getting tired of her cramped quarters.
Food Cravings: Nothing! I only eat because I have to, if I could I would avoid eating.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Anything, I've been getting sick one or two times a day now.
Labor signs: Lots of pelvic pressure, cramps, back pain, and her pushing down.
Symptoms: The same, nothing new expect I think I am more tired this week then I have been.
Belly button in or out? Starting to stick out a little more then last week.
Wedding rings on or off? On and off.
Mood: excited and ready! Let's get this party started :)
Nursery: finally complete! I will be doing a post and posting pics of the final result. We didn't really change much from when Meredith was born. All of Meredith's stuff is out of there now and we added everything baby back in there now. Plus purchased a few new things to make it special for it being her first room. Look for pictures coming soon.
Doctor's appointment: I thought since I am going to be doing weekly doctor's appointments now, I would just add a section for my appt updates. I saw Dr. Fried this week. I gained 4 lbs (all those venti carmel crunch frappe I've been consuming from Starbucks lately). So my total wt gain is 29 lbs, which I'm still happy with. Her HR was 150 bpm, lots of movement from the little Peanut. I measured 37 weeks per fundal height. Dr. Fried guessed she would be an 8 lb baby. She is still head down, which I can tell now for sure. Her little booty pokes out at the top of my tummy and I get lots of jabs and stretches in my left side. I had my Strep B test done too, I get those results at my appt next week. It came back positive with Meredith, so I expect it to be positive again. I will start seeing Dr. Ball each week from now on since I'm so close to delivery. Hopefully we will set an induction date in the next 2 weeks or so. Although I'm sure she won't set the date for induction any sooner then June 2nd.
