Monday Morning Pop Tart

Week 36 - Whoa baby! We’re in the FINAL month. I can hardly believe it!! This week we spent time with great friends, attended our final birth class, photographed a couple final sessions, and had our first weekly appointment with Dr. A. We’re both doing good - minus this cold/sinus stuff I’m fighting again. Hope the coughing and nose blowing isn’t too annoying for you. =) Your dad has really enjoyed interacting with you. He shines a flashlight at you - which we’re pretty sure you do NOT enjoy - to see you move and he talks to you. You’ve already brought a whole lot of happy to our lives. =)

(Please forgive my lack of picture. I've been sick with this nasty cold for several days so it just didn't happen this weekend. I stayed home from work today and by the time Dac got home to take it, it was too dark. Sigh. Trust me, I'm still growing.)

Highlights

How Far Along: 36 weeks

Size of baby: Honeydew

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  + 47

Maternity Clothes: I broke down and bought another pair of maternity yoga pants. They're not in yet but I'm sick of doing laundry every day so it had to be done. =)

Gender: Still team green. What's your best guess?

Movement: Yes.

Sleep: Not really happening.

Symptoms: Belly aches, swelling (although that has been improving again!), heartburn, pain, sinus junk. Also, I can no longer really sit like a lady AND I waddle. No denying it. =) Pretty sure the baby has dropped.

What I miss: Still having "plenty of time" to get things done before the baby comes and honestly, this week, I've started to miss the sleep.

Cravings: WATER and ice cream still.

Best Moment this week: Seeing lots of friends and getting a good report from the doctor.

What I am looking forward to: Weekly appointment (it's kind of a pain but it's also nice to have constant updates without the month-long wait) and making some serious progress in the nesting department.
