36 Week Update

Picture to be posted tomorrow...hopefully. :) I got home late tonight and didn't get a picture done.

How far along? 36 weeks, 2 days
Total weight gain/loss: +30 lbs. (lost 1 lb. being sick)
Maternity clothes: Yup; shirts are getting short.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Pretty good this week, maybe because I’m exhausted. Crazy dreams.
Best moment this week: Getting over the flu! Pregnancy-wise it was the reassurance Baby was OK by her constant movement and the fetal monitoring during the flu.
Movement: Lots, especially around 9:00 at night. I’m sure this bodes well for her life outside the womb…
Food cravings: Nothing this week, really.
Gender: Girl!
Labor signs: Stronger Braxton Hicks, and I found out at my appointment today that I’m 1 cm dilated, baby’s head’s really low & definitely losing the mucous plug.
Belly button in or out? In.
What I miss: Nothing; just relishing my final time being pregnant and getting excited for her arrival.
What I am looking forward to: Meeting the baby!
Weekly Wisdom: Be patient with yourself and let yourself adapt to your baby – no one knows what to do when they first bring home a baby.
Milestones: I’m dilated! I know it can still be quite awhile, but it’s still progress.
