Week 36

Yippee! I'm finished 36 weeks of pregnancy! This post is late because I got the stomach bug and was sick all weekend. YUCK! There is possibly nothing quite to horrible to me as throwing up while pregnant.  Oh well, it's over and hopefully (please GOD!!!) I won't get sick again during this pregnancy. I don't know, but I sort of have a small hope of delivering earlier then last time. I have been having contractions continuously for weeks now. I just can't help but hope they are actually doing something.  Oh and this week was my 30th birthday. Yep I know. How can I be thirty? Well, apparently I am managing it, but I don't like it all that much :) 


What I love: Being near the end. I've done 36 weeks. I only have a few more to go. 

What I hate:I hate that it's snowing out and it's mid April. How stupid is that!!! I hate not exercising, and I hate aching all over just from sleeping in my bed! Oh and I HATEEEE!! being itchy in my lady parts because of STUPID pregnancy hormones!

What I miss: Everything about not being nine months pregnant! :) 

What I’m looking forward to the most: MY baby!!!!! I want to hold this kid SOO much! 

Worries: Still a bit worried about position, and I'm a bit worried about not making it to Fairbanks to have the baby.                           

Developments: Other then my cervix hurting and constant contractions, not much. 

Mood: OK. Though I will say I did have a bit of a downer around my birthday as EVERYTHING sucked that day. 

Sleep: Not too bad, when I can actually fall asleep and stay asleep and not pee..... ok, so not great! 

Movement:So much!

Bra Size:C. Yuck.

The belly (and the button!): Big and round and someone told me today that I looked like I had dropped. (God let that be true!) 

Wedding rings on or off: Off. Maybe I should have put in my most looking forward, wearing my wedding ring again. I LOVE it!

Weight gain: 168 - 169. Still... :) I was sick, so that is probably contributing to it. 

Measurements:  Chest: 37.75" Belly: 43" (Below belly button, or what's left of it...) Hips: 41.5" (Yick) Thighs: 21.5" Calves: 14.5"  Bicep: 11" (Largest part.)  There.... like I said last week. LARGE!

Exercise: Not a bit. Not even a day. Nope. It sucked. Jackson decided to stop sleeping most of his afternoon nap, and the days when I had time, I hurt too badly to walk let alone exercise. And then the weekend had me throwing up. SO, not a good week. Oh well. 

Eating:OK. Not great, not terrible. Not horrible. I guess it's all subjective. 

Weekly Pics:

And this week the baby is about 6lbs.. (though my MW told me at the last check that she thought the baby was a nice little baby... :) Yippe! ) The size of a crenshaw melon. (I have no idea what  a crenshaw melon is....  

And the belly pics along with a progression. I had to add one more pic to make it work out right so I did 36 weeks of my first pregnancy for comparison.
