36 week baby update

Due Date? October 2nd--But at my appointment next Monday we will schedule my induction for the 18th. 14 days to go!

How far along? 36 weeks today

How big is baby? 5.5 ish pounds and 19 inches long

Weight gain? +32. :o(

Maternity clothes? Yep! Some tops are now too small.

Stretchmarks? not yet

Sleep? Still rocking the 3 pillows to get comfortable. My hips are starting to hurt despite the pillows though. I try to take naps when I can.

Best moment this week? Hannah had her first day of school yesterday! And while it makes this momma sad, I am also excited for Hannah to start this next big step! Blog post with pics to come!!!

Movement? Yep. I've got feet kicking me in the ribs and a head resting on my bladder. Fun stuff!

Food cravings? I did get my Chinese. :oP it was delicious!

Gender? Team Green--14 days! Ah! And I am happy to say we have finalized our name choices as well, which makes it even more exciting! :o)

Labor signs? Lots of cramping and Braxton hicks/ contractions. Nothing regular or timeable but some are quite painfull and merge to my back.

Belly button in or out? in but starting to get more flat

What I miss? Laying and sleeping on my stomach, being able to breath, and not waddling. Oh and I long to wear normal clothes again.

What I am looking forward to? Meeting this peanut and getting to call them by name! We are getting so close and I am getting so anxious! I want these 2 weeks to fly by! I am so ready!

Milestones? 36 weeks! Scheduling my induction at my appointment next Monday!

Next doctor's appointment? September 9th--which will put me just shy of 37 weeks.

I am feeling mighty large these days. Ready to not have the belly anymore!

    1. I just realized that every reply I have ever sent you via email, you probably haven't gotten...because I just notice that the email is to a 'no reply' address. Sorry about that. I have totally not been ignoring your comments and I comment back on pretty much all of them. Man, this makes me really sad. :o(
      Anywho...I think everyone but nick thinks its a girl. I am so excited to find out! :o)
