36 weeks

How far along? 36 Weeks 

Total weight gain: up 25 lbs I believe. Lets slow this train down now!

Maternity clothes? yes- smalls are now too small. Wearing the same shirts over and over again. 

Stretch marks? none!

Sleep: sleeping great! Best moment this week: Hearing his heartbeat of course and finishing everything up. I feel as if he were to come now we/ I would be ready! Not so great moment: A doctor in my practice that I have never seen before telling me that he was going to be a big baby and that I won't be so lucky this time- Raegan was 6lbs 13oz. And I don't know why he said that. He didn't even measure me so maybe he was basing it off my weight gain. But it is less than Raegan at this point so who knows.

Miss Anything? sleeping on my tummy, zumba, cute clothes, oh and alcohol!

Movement: still a lot of movement. He's running out of room in there so sometimes they are pretty painful.

Food cravings: nothing

Anything making you queasy or sick: everything when I don't take unisom. raw meat, coffee 

Gender: Boy 

Labor Signs: BH contractions are starting to pick up. Not sure if they are real or not. 1cm dilated, 25% effaced= bummed.

Belly Button in or out? flat

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: pretty happy this week! Looking forward to: 37 weeks and getting this baby boy out!
