36 Weeks

Here we are. A little over 3 weeks away from meeting our son! I still can't believe we are going to have 2 children!!! 

• How far along? 36 weeks 2 days

• Total weight gain:  21 pounds 

• Maternity clothes?  Yes. And even they seem to be shrinking rapidly.

• Stretch marks? No new ones. But the existing ones are getting bigger and darker. Hooray ::eye roll::

• Sleep:  Off and on. Some nights I sleep really good. Other nights I can't sleep at all because of back pain, heartburn, or getting up every 2 minutes to use the bathroom. Last night, I got up at 5:00 am and couldn't sleep...so I woke Drew up to go get me a biscuit and apple juice from Jan's:) 

• Best moment this week: Every minute that I spend with Lila. I swear she's the funniest and most adorable ever. I am really soaking up these last few weeks of just she and I and loving every minute. And seeing all of the progress on our house has been awesome too!

• Miss Anything? I miss walking normally and just feeling good in general. But I'm trying not to dwell on things and think positive because the end of pregnancy is always bittersweet for me. I love feeling and watching him move and having that bond with him. 

• Movement: Lots. I get to poke at his foot all day long as he glides it across my ribs:) 

• Food cravings: anything cold. 

• Food aversions: Fish and anything that makes my indigestion worse. 

• Gender: a little mister

• Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks

• Symptoms: Serious heartburn and indigestion. Fatigue. A little swelling in my feet. Pain when walking.

• Belly Button in or out? Out. 

• Wedding rings on or off? On.

• Looking forward to:  Meeting this little guy and finally giving him a name:) And watching Lila Jo become a big sister.
