36 weeks on Saturday! Full term baby! I've been having irregular contractions for two weeks now, and she is head down and dropping lower every day. The time has come: Your eviction notice has been served! You have 4 weeks to move out of Hotel Uterus.
- Are you having morning sickness? Nope
- How is the fatigue? I have trouble sleeping through the night, but somehow I seem to have more energy lately even with the lack of sleep.
- Frequent potty breaks? Oh yeah.
- Sense of smell? The only thing that is bothering me lately is the smell of the grocery store.
- What are your cravings? Ice cream! Mint and chip.
- What makes you most nauseas? Not much. If I eat a meal that is too big then I feel really sick.
- Do you have heartburn? Yes but I've been able to manage it pretty well lately.
- Have you been moody? Sometimes. Mostly crying.
- Have you been crying a lot? See above.
- Weight gain/loss? I go up and down between 25-30 pounds depending on the day and the amount of swelling that I have.
- Do you have an innie or an outie? Innie. It's stretched really tight and there really isn't an opening anymore.
- Any stretch marks? Nothing new. Just a couple on the side of my hip that are old, but have gotten pink again.
- Have you felt the baby move? Definitely! Even though she is getting so big she still finds some pace in there to move around. And LOTS of hiccups.
- Have you made your first baby purchase? After our last baby shower we are all set with what we needed!
- Do you think it will be a boy or a girl? She's still a girl.
- Who will be the baby's favorite person? Daddy. She doesn't know it yet, but she already has him wrapped around her little finger!
- Who will spoil the baby the most? My mom. Definitely. And it's already started too!
- What has been the most fun about being pregnant? Thinking about the birth is getting me really excited!
- What has been the most surprising? How huge I am. I never thought my skin could stretch so far.
- What have you liked the most/least about your first/second/third trimester? The most: getting all the cute girly stuff together! The least: feeling SO heavy.
