36 week questionnaire

How far along? 36 weeks

How big is baby? 19-22 in, 6 lbs- by my app on my phone, but 6 lbs 12 oz by today's ultrasound!

Total weight gain/loss: Pretty consistently showing prepregnancy weight, within a couple of pounds.  Today's OB appointment showed no change from two weeks ago though!

Maternity clothes? Yes

Sleep: Not terrible considering.  I have to drink an entire glass of water (sometimes more) right before bed, so up once or twice to pee seems like a victory to me!

Best moment this week: The sprinkle two weeks ago was for sure a highlight, still need to post about it (though am waiting on pictures to share since none were on a camera I own!), and working out my medical appointments business over the last couple of weeks were a highlight!

Movement: He is very active and strong.  Seems mellow at the same time though.  Not sure how to explain it.  I feel like Bella was much more of a stinker in utero than little boy is but he is for sure stronger!

Food cravings: None

Food Aversions: none

Gender: All boy

Labor Signs: contractions (felt by me and measured on the monitors)

Pregnancy Symptoms: All of the old standards still apply.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Not contracting with every little effort, not groaning for most movements... Oh I've officially had to give up shoes that tie!

What I am looking forward to:  Hitting full term and hopefully going in to labor!

Upcoming appointments/events: Life has settled down a teeny bit.  I have weekly OB appointments now, and weekly non-stress tests.  I tack on other appointments as needed (endocrinologist, counseling, ultrasounds, etc) but it is much more manageable than it felt even a month ago!

Weekly Wisdom: Not taking "no" for an answer can serve you, but leaving your emotions out of it (if possible) will help immensely.

Milestones: Had my first "weekly" OB appointment and met the new OB at my doctors office!

Bump Picture: This will become a weekly post until baby boy decides it is time to arrive!  Pictures and all!
