How far along: 36 weeksSize of baby: About the size of a honeydew (see photo to right)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: up about 18 pounds from pre-pregnancy - keeping to my <20 pound weight gain goal is proving to be more difficult during these last couple of weeks... I just want all the food!
How I'm Changing: I am feeling very front heavy and based on some of the comments I get at work I must look it as well...
Movements: We have an active little guy on our hands :-) Still feeling some kicks and he gets the hiccups quite a bit but also a lot of rolling/stretching movements when he shifts positions. He seems to move more during the week and when I'm less active on the weekends he doesn't seem to move as much... kind of weird.
Sleep: Lots of interruptions... I wake up to go to the bathroom at least 3 times a night and usually a couple more just to change positions.
How I'm feeling/Symptoms: large, tired, and very very hot most of the time
What I Miss: red wine, sushi, and the ability to get up from sitting/laying down without the use of my arms (I think this last one has moved to number one on the list actually)
Cravings: all the food.
Best Moment(s) of the Week: Honestly - the end of my workday Friday... this week was just too long and stressful. I am hoping that once I get through the next 2 weeks things will be more calm and I can just wrap things up at work before maternity leave.
What I am Looking Forward To/What I Really Need to Get a Handle On: We have our ultrasound and 36 week appointment tomorrow so I am looking forward to that :-) Still need to pack my stuff in the hospital bag but I did get my toiletries all put together at least.
