36 week update



How far along?: 36 weeks
How big is baby?: 6lbs, 18.5 inches
Weight gain?: 26 lbs. I was very happy when I learned I haven't gained anymore weight (although I'm sure little JD has). For the worriers out there it's perfectly normal for the mother's weight gain to plateau at the point, I am not starving him!
Stretch marks?: yep below my belly button...no new ones to report though
Maternity clothes?: the pair of gauchos I am wearing in the picture are one of the few pairs of pre-pregnancy pants I can wear.
Sleep?: AWEFUL the last two nights. Monday night I had THE WORST leg cramp of my life, I woke up out of my sleep screaming in pain...I think I scared my husband pretty good. Last night I just did not sleep well. I had some contractions...I remember thinking about timing them after I had three but then I dozed off as I was trying to count. Doug said I was moaning and groaning all night. Poor boy- that means I kept him up.
Best moment this week?: The nursery is finished thanks to the help of my sister, I just want to wash the curtains and the slip cover and vacuum, then I'll take some pictures to post.
Food cravings?: Crushed ice...not sure why but I am just finding it delicious lately.
Gender?: if he's not a boy we're gonna have a girl wearing lots of blue and puppy dogs!
Movement?: he's big enough now that a lot of his movements make me uncomfortable...especially the punches in the right hip!
Belly button?: still hanging in there!
What I miss?: Effortlessly bending over. I'm also not a big fan of the cervical checks I get to have at my doctor's appointments now. For what it's worth my cervix was closed as of Tuesday. I have to go again next Tuesday.
