How far along? 36 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: At my 36 week appointment I had gained about 6 pounds. I am not sure if it counts because I worked 7 of the last 8 days and my feet are really swollen so after I have a few days off it tends to come back down to about 2-3 pounds gained, but for now I guess we will just say 6 pounds.
Maternity clothes? Again, I've given up. I'm way too cheap to spend the money on them.
Stretch marks? No new ones
Sleep: Starting to get worse. I've been waking up a few times a night, struggling to fall back asleep when I do and just overall feeling really uncomfortable.
Best moment this week: We took our maternity pictures! I'm so excited to get them back and really hope they turned out super cute. I can't wait to do our name reveal with them finally!
Miss anything? My feet not being swollen, not feeling constantly exhausted, and my hips not being so sore.
Movement: A lot!! Little M has been quite the ninja lately. I've been able to watch her move my stomach from the outside quite a few times lately which I absolutely love. It's subtle but she definitely is doing it.
Food cravings: I really wanted a steak this week bad, but nothing big other than that.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, I generally feel pretty good overall. I'm struggling more with the texture of like whole chicken breasts, but I still do okay.
Have you started to show yet:Just a little. I did a comparison between my pregnancy with Elli and this one at 36 weeks and I feel like I look super similar. Just carrying a little lower with this one.
Gender: Girl as far as we know.
Labor signs: I've had a few minor contractions in my back, and maybe some braxton hicks, I'm not really sure if they are or not, they don't hurt, and I'm not sure if it's BH or just M pushing out a lot. But I'm refusing cervix checks until 38 or 39 weeks this go around so I don't know where I'm sitting with that.
Bell button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? Off
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy overall, but I'm getting more and more tired lately which is making it harder for me to be patient.
Looking forward to: Getting back all of our maternity pictures, being able to have a week off work so I can finally get everything ready for baby to come.
36 Weeks:
Your Baby is as Big as a Honeydew
- She's getting closer and closer to being able to breathe on her own.
- Her skin is getting smooth and soft and her gums are rigid.
- Her liver and kidneys are in working order.
- Circulation and immune systems are basically good to go, too.
She's still in the 17.2- to 18.7-inch and 4.2- to 5.8-pound range and continues to beef up.
