Baby Girl: 36 Weeks

36 Weeks

Baby is the size of a watermelon

(about 19-22 inches long)
About 6.5 pounds

How far along are you? 36 weeks
Sleep: Oh, man! This has been an awful week for sleeping. It takes me forever to fall asleep then I'm waking up every hour or so because I'm sore or just because my body thinks I need to be awake.
Mood changes: Tired and ornery.
Cravings: Frosted Flakes.
Other symptoms: The swelling in my feet has made it to the point that it doesn't go away. I go to sleep with super swollen feet and ankles and wake up with slightly less swollen feet and ankles.
Movement: Not nearly as much. More pushing than anything.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Feeling good this week.
Have you started to show yet:  Yep.
Do you have a name picked out: Still no name. We added a couple more names to our list but no "this is her name" name yet.
Maternity clothes: Always
Labor Signs: Nope.
Belly Button in or out: in
Wedding rings on or off: Off.
Looking forward to: The baby coming very soon! Tate came at 37 weeks 5 days. We're getting there!
Things I'm worried about: Picking a horrible name.
Things I'm loving: When Tate points to my belly and screams "Baby!!" Also, Tate started calling the baby "DadaDum" when we ask him what we should name the baby. I know he doesn't know what dumb means but it's still pretty funny.

Have you told family and friends: Yes
Miss Anything? Sleeping

Food cravings: I'm not really that hungry so I'm not craving anything right now.  I did devour a steak dinner on Thursday night though.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope...stomach of steel.
Have you started to show yet: Yes.
Gender prediction: It's a boy!
Labor Signs: Not yet, though I think I've been having some Braxton Hicks contractions...though that's just a guess.  I have no idea what I'm doing.
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? Off, they're just too uncomfortable now.
Happy or Moody most of the time:   Moody this week with the being super sick.  I was ready to jump over the pharmacy counter and beat the pharmacist who told me to "suck it up" when I asked if there was anything I could take for my myriad of symptoms.
Looking forward to: My last baby shower and a family reunion

Things I'm worried about: If the baby's head is down or not.  I think I'm getting an ultrasound on Tuesday to see but it scares me to think he might not be turned.

Things I'm loving: Everyone thinking I'm superwoman for doing normal things.  Teaching every day...superwoman.  Carrying 2 folding chairs into the house...superwoman.  Taking out the garbage...superwoman.  Breathing...superwoman.  It's pretty awesome.
