36 Weeks

 
How far along: 36 Weeks with Baby Girl!
Size of Baby: Honeydew! The books say she's probably around 5 lbs. and 18 in. or so long.
Weight Gain: About 18 pounds.
Maternity Clothes: I have nothing new to write here...except that I am sort of getting tired of them. I want my skirts back.
Sleep: I am always tired lately. This past week I can sleep in and go to bed early with no trouble sleeping. I also get worn out quite easily. 
Foods I'm loving: Dessert and fruit. We happened to have Oreos this week...I have looked forward to eating them with a glass of milk every night. Too bad when they're gone...I might be buying more.  
Foods I'm hating: So after writing about not having heartburn in over a week guess what I've had this week. So annoying. That is definitely a symptom that can go and never return.  
Movement: Same as last week. She is enjoying stretching out in there...something that is not too enjoyable for mommy. She crams into my ribs and then pushes out towards the lower belly at the same time...ouch.   
Best moment this week: Getting my house cleaner! I have had this overwhelming burden to get things done before Baby comes. My mom and niece came last weekend and got so much done. Such a relief!   
What I miss: Moving with no pain.   
What I'm looking forward to: This baby's arrival! For the first time I can definitely say I feel pregnant. It's getting harder and harder to get around. It takes effort to get up from a sitting position. I won't even mention trying to get out of the bed. If I walk for an extended period of time, bring on the Braxton Hicks! They aren't painful at all...just WAY uncomfortable. There are a lot of positives and things that I love about pregnancy, but I'm definitely feeling like another little person is taking over!
Side Note:  I had a doctor appointment this afternoon and we toured the hospital this evening. Ugh. I HATE hospitals with a SERIOUS passion. I can't believe I'm about to be a patient in one. I dread it. The doctor said everything looked good and I can go into labor whenever!
