Week 36

Week 34

Week 35

Week 36

How far along: 36 Weeks

Weeks to due date: 4

Total weight gain: 30 pounds

Maternity clothes: Maternity Jeans, tops, and cardigans.  

Sleep:  Really bad this last week.  I have had a stuffy nose and now I have a sore throat and a cough.  I am hoping that coughing, sneezing, and blowing my nose doesn’t make me go into labor =)  

Best moment this week:  I will share some great moments from the past few weeks since it has been a little while between posts.  My sister spent her last week of summer vacation with us which was fantastic! We watched movies, went on walks, went shopping (We bought a new couch), and just spent lots of time together.  At the end of the week we drove her back to SD and spent Labor Day weekend with my family.  That Saturday my family had a baby shower for me which was great! We are so blessed! The next weekend I went to junk fest with some friends and found some great things for our house. One of those items being a new bench for our entryway.  This last Monday I had a doctor’s appointment which went well and then I had a wonderful lunch date with my friend Carrie. On Thursday I went to Bismarck and had a coffee date with my friend Danielle. It was soooooo good to catch up!   

What I miss: Normal clothes…. And knowing that my shoes will fit…so many pairs don’t fit anymore.  All this swelling isn’t very fun.  

Movement: So much and I LOVE it!  Sometimes it’s pretty painful but at the same time it’s kind of fun to feel the baby be so strong.

Food cravings: Sprite

Making me queasy: Nothing   

Starting to show:  It’s official… I’m huge! 

Gender:  We will know when our little one arrives =)

  

Happy or moody: I’ve been trying to be happy even though I’m not sleeping well, I’m sick, and part of our house is still in shambles because of our remodel project.  We will be done with the project soon though and then I will be able to have everything where it should be which will make me ooooohhhhh so happy!     

Things I've been experiencing this week:  On Thursday I bought everything for my hospital bag. Well, hopefully everything I will need.  It’s so crazy that the baby really could come anytime now.  I’m hoping the baby doesn’t come early but it’s exciting to be prepared.  

What I am looking forward to:  Women’s retreat at camp this weekend.  My mom and my grandma are coming! 

Size of baby:  The baby is the size of a honeydew and may weigh about 5 ½ to 6 pounds.
