Bump update - 36 weeks

36 weeks

How far along? 36 weeks and less than 1 month until this little girl is due

Baby Bump? My bump is getting a lot of attention these days. People (even strangers) are giving my belly a rub or a pat and a lot of people are making comments on how small or how huge I look.

Maternity Clothes? Maternity clothes are the only way to go to be comfortable these days.

Best moment this week:  A couple things, I had some amazing friends throw me a shower on Saturday. It was a lot of fun and we got a lot of things that we still were needing. (I will post more about it, I just need to get the pictures first.) The other thing is we finally made it to the one month mark.

Belly Button in or out: Still in other than a small part right on the very top that is trying to pop out. Last night it looked like it is a little more out than it has been, but it is still pretty in.

Miss anything?  Being able to get comfortable in any position. I can’t seem to get very comfy on the couch any more. Hopefully after this baby comes I will be able to feel more comfortable in general.

Food cravings: This is really weird, but I have been craving a bowl of corn flakes and cool whip. We used to eat it for breakfast as kids, and Scott thinks I’m crazy.    

Happy or moody most of the time: For the most part I am pretty happy. By the end of the day I am usually pretty tired and don’t have as much patience as I used to.

Gender: BABY GIRL! 

Symptoms:  Heartburn, crazy dreams(most nights), HUGE belly, starting to get a little uncomfortable especially when sitting for a long time.

Wedding Ring on or off: It’s still on, and only gets a little tight when I get really warm, but that would happen before I was pregnant too.

Sleep: I toss and turn pretty much all night. It isn’t easy to get super comfortable for long periods of time.

This week baby is the size of: Coconut, she should be almost 19 inches long (I remember when she was only the size of a pea) and somewhere around 6 pounds. 

Baby’s development this week: This is the last week before our baby is considered full term. She is mostly just gaining weight until she comes. She is also head down and hopefully will stay that way until labor!

New Baby Items: Lots of new cute outfits, some new board books, binkies, bowls, dolls, crib sheets, bath stuff, diapers, and lots of good advice.

Looking forward to: Finishing the nursery, we have so much that we want to fit into a small space, and I still have no idea how we are going to fit it all.

Anything Else Going on: We are just counting down the days until this girl joins our family… 28 days until she is due, and probably like a few more days until she actual gets here. (I hear the odds of her coming late are more likely than her coming on time or early)
