36 weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 36 weeks

Size of baby: Baby Nelson is the size of a watermelon

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've gained 32 pounds.

Maternity Clothes: Maternity clothes if I'm wearing anything besides sweats and tshirts

Gender: We won't know until the baby gets here! I think I'm starting to lean towards another boy, but then I think girl sometimes, too. Daddy thinks girl. After seeing the ultrasound pictures, most people in my family think boy. Most other people think girl.

Movement: Yes! Feeling movement a lot now

Sleep: I'm not waking up as often, so I'm sleeping better ( I still wake up 1-3 times a night). I've been using my big body pillow for the last few weeks, and it's helped me sleep better.

What I miss: A life without back pain and heartburn! (this baby better have a head full of hair...)

Cravings: nothing this week

Symptoms: Braxton Hicks contractions and a few real contractions, too.

Best Moment this week: great doctor's visit-baby's heartrate was in the 140s, and I was dilated 3 cm and 60% effaced!!! The OB also said that the baby is very low. All the furniture is in the nursery, I've got the artwork together, and we're just waiting on the bedding! I also had a prenatal massage this week (a gift from when I was preggo with Fishy!) and it was beyond amazing-I want one every week! :)
