Weekly Update: 36 Weeks

{last week with my mom, I forgot to take a picture but I have this one!}

How far along? 36 weeks, 6 Days

Baby Size: A honeydew

Total weight gain: 31lbs

Maternity clothes? Hardly even those anymore. I'm really running out of things!

Stretch marks? Belly is still good!

Sleep: During this week leading up to now, sleep has gotten a bit better.

Best moment this week: Seeing her on the ultrasound. She is estimated to be 5lbs 12oz.

She was so cute and so active. She also scored perfectly in everything they looked for.

Miss Anything? I was missing Subway like crazy but finally decided to cave in and eat it.

Many people don't listen to that rule about cold meats and what not, so I ate there and just

had them toast my sandwich with everything on it -- veggies included.

Words can't explain how delicious it was!

Movement: She is still moving around quite a bit! In her ultrasound we were able to see

her practicing her breathing and swallowing. That was really neat!

Food cravings: Back to pepperoni pizza with bell peppers!

Anything making you queasy or sick: During this week it was a sick free week!

Gender: Lady

Symptoms: Starting to have more frequent contractions and notice the occasional

bits of swelling. I also get to where my feet hurt after awhile. Not sure if it's the extra load

I'm carrying or what, but when I wake up or when I'm real active my feet hurt!

Belly Button in or out? Pretty out.

Wedding rings on or off? Very tight!

Mood: READY. Anxious. Excited.

Labor Progress: Dilated 1 cm, 50% effaced and she was in a -3 station!

Looking forward to: Holding my baby girl. I'm SO ready for her!

I can't wait to see what she looks like and if she has hair!

SOOOOOOOOO ready to have my baby girl in my arms!

This week's picture was taken after I spent

all day at my dance recital and even did a little

dancing on stage. I was trying to shake her out...
