(Yes, I thought both pictures were needed to really appreciate my size these days.)
How far along: 36 weeks!!! (full term)
Baby’s heart rate: 150's - exactly where it should be
Total weight gain: 34 pounds
Maternity clothes: I'm to the point where I'm even outgrowing my maternity clothes. :) I can only fit into the large and extra-large stuff - eeeek!
Sleep: only on my left side, this baby doesn't like it when I sleep on my right; he takes forever to settle in and then has to turn around when I wake up or switch sides. I must say, sleeping on our new pillow-top mattress is SO much better. That came at the perfect time. Too bad Paul thinks it's too soft for his back.
Milestones: I'm stocking up on the essentials!!
Movement: all the time...even in the downward direction.
Labor Signs: My nurse-midwife says that the baby has definitely dropped into my pelvis (hence the crazy profile). I'm "a good centimeter" dilated and about 50% effaced. He's definitely on the move!
Food cravings: not anymore. I'm hot all the time, so I'm mostly thirsty for anything wet and cold.
Labor Signs: a few contractions here and there, but nothing regular, lots of braxton hicks
What I miss: personal space
Weekly Wisdom: Family is a blessing.
