Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 36 Weeks
Size of baby: Still big, but slowing…I no longer measure three
weeks ahead…praise the LORD
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Yep still gaining.
Maternity Clothes: I have worn stretch black pants since getting out of
school for the holiday, and most likely I will until baby boy appears. I have managed to put on some
non-maternity, but why bother dressing up on vacation.
Gender: Still has
the heart beat of a boy.
Movement: He is
moving an grooving, but his patterns have changed. There is really no room for him to roll and flop like he
once did, so he hiccups and kicks and does a great job of elbowing me at random
times.
Sleep: I may have jinxed myself on the sleep lately. I can still turn in with the chickens,
but staying asleep is difficult. I
don’t wake to go to the bathroom or because I’m uncomfortable, I just wake up
for the sake of being awake and when I do I feel like I have been asleep for
hours…I have no sense of time.
What I miss: Thankfully the swelling is to a minimal. I guess I still miss just being
me. I have also noticed that I am
no longer able to hold in my opinions like I once was better at doing. I have never been good at not being
opinionated, but as of late, if someone or something irritates me…I’m going to
let you know. I need to pray about
this one.
Cravings: I have not had any cravings still that have been notable,
but I have eaten more junk food than normal. It may be that I’ve nested and cooked so many meals I dodge
fixing myself a real meal, but I definitely have enjoyed walking by and grazing
on any snacks around the house.
Symptoms: I pray that labor comes soon, not because I’m
uncomfortable, not because I’m over being pregnant, but because I’m tired of
wearing Google out about any and every thing that might feel different
daily. I would be scared for
anyone to check my Google history, they would surely wonder about my sanity.
Best Moment this week: Seeing this sweet baby boy’s face one
last time before delivering. I
will also tie that moment with the doctor telling me that I could have a baby
in 2-4 weeks. He finished by
saying if I wanted I could go to February, but more than likely it will be much
before that.
Doctor this Week: So I went to the doctor on Monday
before he left for London. I have
not progressed at all, so my hopes of the first New Year baby were dashed. I will go back Monday to see another
doctor while mine is out of the country and have my fingers crossed for progress. And he gave me the okay to head to the
bowl game on Saturday, let’s hope I don’t regret it.
