36 Weeks Pregnant

How Far Along: 36 weeks! Less than one month to go!

Size of Baby: Babycenter says 6 lbs. and 18 1/2 in. I have a hard time believing she is already that big.

Gender: Our baby girl! SRC!

Weight Gain: I hit 25 lbs last week. It’s kind of got me a bit down, because I really wanted to stay between 25-30lbs, and I’m just not sure that’s going to happen. I’m not giving up just yet. 😉

Movement: Her movement is getting harder by the day. It definitely feels more like my ribs are being punched rather than tapped at this point. She move all the time but especially at night.

Sleep: I’ll be honest, I’m not hardly sleeping. Maybe my body is preparing for no sleep? I’m not sure, but I have been having a very hard time getting comfortable and she moves most at night.

Workouts: This week, I have walked 2 miles a day and completed my TIU workouts as best I can. Of course, I can’t do any of the exercises that require I lay on my back, but I’ve done everything else.

Maternity Clothes: I’ve still been mixing and matching maternity and non-maternity. I’m definitely in maternity jeans only and very thankful for them, but I am still wearing my regular nike shorts and yoga pants most days.

Symptoms: I’ve still been having some Braxton Hicks contractions and I have felt a lot of pressure. I’m sure it is just the baby moving down. I have definitely dropped a lot. Pregnancy is so weird…and cool. haha

Cravings/Aversions: I haven’t had many cravings the last couple of weeks. I feel so big and crowded at this point that eating is more of a chore than a want thing right now.

Missing Most: Sleep. I’ve been really struggling with that this week.

Nursery: It is finally finished minus the mattress. I’m not obsessing over it right now because I know she will sleep in our room for a little while any way.

She will be here before we know it! I can’t believe how fast it is going by this time. Maybe I should buy some diapers… and pack something?
