36 Weeks



Things are much better than the past few weeks.  Week 34 & 35 were rough on me both emotionally and physically.  I was in pain, uncomfortable, and felt like it was never going to end.  Thanks to an awesome massage therapist and chiropractor I feel SOOO much better.  I am still walking and spinning every week.  My Monday spin class has me there the next 3 classes, they will know if I am not there that I went into labor.   This week we put together everything besides the swing, and car seat.  Baby's bag is packed and mine is almost done, just need to find a nightgown for hospital in dark colors.  The countdown is on and I can't wait to meet this little one.  Tomorrow 2/5 we find of if I am dilated or effaced along with the Strep B test.

How far along? 36 weeks

How big is baby?  Big!  over 6lbs

Total weight gain/loss:  38lbs lost -2 this past week, but probably gain again next.  I really don't care at all anymore.  I am super active and will work hard to get it off.

Maternity clothes?  of course

Sleep: Bathroom breaks are often but much better sleep than past 2 weeks.
Best moment this week:  getting the nursery finished 
Movement: Lots of forceful movement

Food cravings:  Strawberries, oranges, apples

Food Aversions: Always be pickles, or anything pickled.

Gender:  I have a strong feeling a boy & will be surprised if baby is a girl.  Cant wait to find out!!

Labor Signs:  more braxton hicks, and pressure baby is moving down more

Pregnancy Symptoms:  a little bit of everything

Belly Button in or out?  In, and stretching but wont be coming out.

What I miss: feeling normal, I love being pregnant but ready to be back to myself 

What I am looking forward to: Whits gender reveal party this weekend the 8th!

Upcoming appointments/events:   feb 5th

Stretch Marks:  Belly is still looking good.  I almost might miss the hardness of it because its going to be jiggly very soon.
