How far along: 36 weeks 3 days
Weight Gain: 33 lbs as of last Wednesday
Baby's Weight: probably about 5 1/2 - 6 lbs. I don't know this because I don't get ultrasounds any more and that is how you can tell!
Maternity Clothes: Duh! A lot of my shirts are too small now too!
Stretch marks: They are really standing out to me this week. I still don't have any on my stomach but there are a lot on my hips and boobs! (Oh the price you have to pay to have a larger chest!)
Sleep: HA! That is a joke! I don't sleep. I take cat naps. Last night I was awake from 1-5. It was no fun!
Best moment of the week: Hearing from the doctor that everything is good and if our little man decides to come, it would be fine! Plus making it this far means that even if he comes now, my maternity leave will still cover our vacation in June!
Signs of labor: The doctor said I am 1 1/2 cm dilated, 70% effaced. I must be having real contractions and just don't realize it. My stomach is always hard but I don't know the difference between braxton hicks and real contractions yet! I am sure I will know when it is time to start paying attention!
What I miss: Well today we went grocery shopping and that did me in. I came home and took a 2 hour nap! I miss the little things that I used to do. And a nice tall vodka and tonic would be delicious right about now!
Cravings: Nothing really this week
Belly Button: OUT! It pokes through my clothes and everything!
What I am looking forward to: Meeting our little guy! I would really like to make it to April 9th before he comes. There are a few things at work that are coming up in the next 2 weeks that I would like to be a part of. But right now, we are just taking it one day at a time.
