36 weeks~9 months!

And so is my belly

How far along? 36 weeks

Total weight gain:

33 pounds

Maternity clothes? 

Yes.

Stretch marks? 

Nope! 

Sleep: 

When I’m sleeping it’s great! But I have been waking up 2-3 times a night. 

Best moment this week: 

Getting closer to the due date! We had a great weekend too ~ trying to enjoy our last few weeks of being a family of 2 or 4 if you include the fur balls :)

Miss Anything? 

MY FEET! And ankles! I didn’t realize how uncomfortable it is to walk with a very swollen right ankle and foot. 

Movement: 

Lots of hiccups! His movements are different now you can tell he’s running out of room. The doctor confirmed that I have correctly identified his butt :) That's the only part I got right.

Food cravings: 

S’mores, sweets, milk, fruit, mustard.. I’ve been slightly obsessed with mustard lately in fact my first “weird” food combination happened Sunday night.. I put mustard on my rice. hahah I also considered putting hot sauce in spinach dip.

Anything making you queasy or sick: 

Sometimes meat and back pain at times

Gender: 

BOY!

Labor Signs:

More Braxton hicks I don’t think I had anymore warm up contractions this week. So weird back pain on one side.

Symptoms: 

Swelling! Tired, going to the bathroom every 5 seconds, back pain..

Belly Button in or out? 

Are we still discussing this? Just look at it through my shirt.

Wedding rings on or off? 

Off 

Happy or Moody most of the time: 

HAPPY!! SO EXCITED! Learning to keep myself busy because I am READY!

Looking forward to: 

Meeting Jackson!!! Seeing what he looks like! Getting to know his personality! 

Workout:

Eh.. 2x’s how to people walk with a big swollen foot in the heat? My tennis shoes hurt to put on. In fact most shoes do. If it would quit raining I might try the pool this week.

Furry Babies:

Oscar still thinks he’s the baby- sleeping in the crib, changing table, and he took off with Sofie the giraffe in his mouth!! Don’t worry I CLEAN everything. I would never let Jackson sleep on lay on cat hair, etc. They both must be sensing something because I am like an anti-axiety drug for Stella. I have never seen her so relaxed and cuddly! Oscar is also obsessed with being on me at all times especially at night.

To dos:

Done: Ceiling fan is up and looks great! Installed one carseat, made one casserole.

Left: Have baby. 

Dr Appointment:

Had to have that really fun finger prick- results were great! And then the other really fun strep B test... Ladies really it's not that bad- I heard horror stories and it was no big deal at all. I get those results back next week. Jackson is also head down (still) and ready to go! The doctor says he can come anytime and they won't stop him!! Very exciting! His heart beat is still great! My next appointment is next Wednesday- onto the weekly appointments!

4 more weeks!!

1 more week until he is full term!!
