Week 36


Baby W this week…
-Baby W's kidneys and liver are in working order
- The only organ left to fully develop is his lungs

Size of the baby?
Baby W is the size of a honeydew!

Total Weight Gain/Loss?
+25lbs at my 36 week appointment. It's getting so close that I am now @ weekly doctor appointments...eeekkkkkkk :)

Maternity Clothes?
I've learned that you can buy a size bigger @ Target and it fits. I bought a few tanks in size M that are long enough to cover this belly of mine. SCORE!!!! And they are cheaper than maternity!

Stretch Marks?
Still don't have any...but I have the ugliest belly button piercing scar that I hate! One decision I wish I would not have made when I was 19.

Best Moments?
Putting everything together and getting things in order. It's crazy to me that he will be here soon using all this stuff we have and wearing those itty bitty clothes!

Movement?
He has officially slowed down in the movement department. It started on Monday that I didn't notice as much movement as usual. I still feel him here and there, but I definitly think he doesn't have as much room.

Food Cravings?
Still loving my milk. We are going through a few gallons in a week. Still craving fruit also. Love when I make my smoothies!!

Anything making you queasy or sick?
Still raw chicken...and I really can't eat it either!

What I miss?
Now that the weather has warmed up...I've been really excited to have a Summer Shandy! I'm excited to really enjoy one this summer!

Nausea/Vomiting?
None

Symptoms?
Big belly....of course! Sore hips and lots of pressure down there. Many people have told me that I look like I have 'dropped', but I just feel like I have always felt like I have held him low. I haven't felt any 'rib jabs' or feel like my lungs are being squished...which is nice.

Labor Signs?
He is for sure head down. I am 1cm dilated and about 20% effaced.

Gender?
BOY

Belly Button In or Out?
It's out!!!

Wedding Rings On or Off?
On and still not getting tight! wooohooo...

Sleep?
Through this whole pregnancy, I have only woken up a few times to go pee in the middle of the night and 2 of those few times have been in the last 2 weeks. Kind of crazy but feeling very lucky!

What I am looking forward to?
We have NOTHING planned for this weekend so I am beyond excited to get lots of those items crossed off the list that I posted yesterday! I hope my mom will be able to make it so we can get those curtains done. I love just counting down the days until his arrival!!!

  6. I have a weird belly button scar, too! As mine started stretching, it kind of scabbed, so I kind of picked and itched, and now I hate it. I've had it out for years, too!

  9. Just dropped in from Keeping up with Kelly & Co and so excited to see a fellow June blog mama perhaps? Love your blog and that you are going with cloth diapering as we are planning on doing that too once our little girl arrives.
