36 Weeks

How far along? 36 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: (+25) since pre-pregnancy. I don't even care anymore, the NAUSEA is back and I'm only eating what sounds good. And french fries ALWAYS sound good.

Maternity Clothes? Regular bras are torture devices. I've been loving strapless dresses that don't require one.

Stretch Marks? Still none. Amazed.

Sleep? Ehh. When I can get to sleep, it's great. But DMC has settled on a nerve and I'm having MASSIVE pain in my lower-back, compounded by the fact that my chair at work is NOT made for a pregnant woman.

Best Moment This Week: Putting all the finishing touches on the nursery & starting to pack the hospital bag. We're about 90% finished with everything.

Movement: He dropped sometime around week 34. Feeling lots of movement in my pelvis-region, and my hips are sore. It's a fun game to guess what appendage is sticking out of my belly these days.

Food Cravings: Fruit Ice, pasta. Meat is a complete and total turn-off.

Gender: BOY

Labor Signs: Getting tightening-like BH's every day. I've also been feeling some menstrual-like craps every couple days first thing in the morning and at night before bed. Hopefully all these "workouts" translate to fast labor!

Belly Button - In or Out? In - and looks totally normal again.

What I miss: SUSHI... I saw an advertisement for a local sushi joint and I almost cried because I want raw ahi so bad. And a very strong urge for a margarita.

What I am looking forward to: Maternity Leave - Only 10 more days of work!

Weekly Wisdom: I'm over pregnancy. Ready for him to be born ANY TIME NOW.

Milestones: Only 5 days until we are full term! (37 weeks)
