36 Weeks - 3 weeks to go!

Not much to report, just 3 weeks to go! I keep avoiding packing my bags, probably because I had to reorder my diaper bag since it mysteriously went missing. I seriously hope that it arrives in time because if not, that means that baby's stuff is going to the hospital in a shopping bag!


How far along: 36 weeks

Due Date: March 17, 2020, 39 weeks - Cesarean is BOOKED! We have to be there at 11 am.

Baby is the size of a(n): Bunch of kale... wtf? How about a tickle me elmo!

Total weight gain/loss: Around 20 lbs - I think I'm as heavy as I was around this time with Morgan, but was heavier when I conceived this time, so I gained less overall.

The Bump: Growing and huge. 

Symptoms/How I'm feeling: Pretty rough - he's moving a lot, which hurts, and has moved into a transverse position, which is also painful!

Food Cravings/Aversions: Cravings: Carbs. Cookies. Carbs. I really need to reign that in this week.

Sleep: Bad. I wake up several times a night to pee and hip pain is back.

Weddings Rings On or Off: On. The swelling from last week has gone down.

Exercise: Just walking. Slowly.

Any Names Picked Out Yet: Yes. Not telling.

Gender: Boy!

Movement: Lots, ow.

Maternity Clothes: 100% and they're a little short/snug.

Labor Signs: some, BH contractions. There have been some moments where I've wondered if I'm dilating. 

What I miss: my body. Not that I will have it back entirely, but just being me. 

Best Moment of the Week: Not working is glorious.

What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Having a baby!
