How Far Along: 36 weeks.
Size of the Baby: 5 1/2 pounds
Weight gain/loss: Last I checked, about 20 pounds total.
Sleep: Bad. I can't get comfortable and I wake up frequently. I also have a hard time getting back to sleep.
Best Moment of the Week: I don't know if it was the best, because it was 6 hours long and I was exhausted by the end, but we went to birthing class today and it helped ease some of my worries. I also learned when to go to the hospital and when I don't need to. It was very helpful! Also, during Thanksgiving break, my mom and grandma threw me a baby shower! It was so nice and I got a lot of the stuff I needed. Very helpful!
Movement: Moving all the time still! And playing my ribs like a xylaphone. Fun.
Symptoms: I'm just never comfortable. Acid reflux is still really terrible. I am SO ready for this baby to come. I never thought I'd say that!
Food Cravings: Sausage McMuffins! I really don't like food.
Gender: Boy still, I hope!
Belly Button - In or Out?: It's pretty outtie now! You can see it through my shirts.
Anything making you queasy or sick?: Yes. All food.
Labor Signs: My sister-in-law told me I may be having Braxton Hicks and just didn't know it. I feel pains low in my abdomen that I thought were just my ligaments stretching or something but they could be Braxton Hicks. Not very nice.
Wedding ring on or off: On
What I Miss: Sleep and comfort. I want to be able to relax again!
What I am looking forward to: Seeing and holding this little guy and being physically able to sleep/relax again, even if I have to wake up to feed a baby :)
Nursery: No decor, but I got some screws and stuff so I can finally put our crib together. That's getting done slowly....
Emotions: So tired. And when I'm tired, I'm grumpy. Poor Tom and strangers who aren't respectful of me.
Stupid things I have done: I have been very forgetful. I keep trying to get into other peoples' vans when they are parked next to mine, even if they aren't the same color....
