Week 36
How far along? 36 weeks 6 days
Total weight gain/loss: Note to self… don’t go to drs office after eating lunch. It really makes you sad.
How big is baby? Your baby’s the size of a honeydew! She’s still in the 17.2- to 18.7-inch and 4.2- to 5.8-pound range and continues to beef up.
- She’s getting closer and closer to being able to breathe on her own.
- Her skin is getting smooth and soft and her gums are rigid.
- Her liver and kidneys are in working order.
- Circulation and immune systems are basically good to go, too.
Maternity Clothes? Some days I wonder what actually fits of those…
Stretch Marks? Oh of course, I wasn’t one of those blessed people who doesn’t get any…
Best moment this week? naps. They’ve been getting me through 🙂
Movement? Yup. I think this is really what I’ll miss the most. After yesterday’s drs appointment she is head down, back to my right side and laying over on my right hip (like she usually does). She is a right sided girly that’s for sure.

Food Cravings/Aversions? I really like Cheeseburgers!
What I miss: Not having to convince myself I can make it to the bathroom in the middle of the night without peeing myself… haha! I swear, in the middle of the night that’s a tough one. FYI so far I’ve been okay, knock on wood :). I also miss being able to pick stuff up off the floor. Earlier this week hubby put my book and notebook on the table one night. I sent him a text the next day and thanked him and he thought I was being a smartalic but I was being serious. Way less bending over!!
What I’m looking forward to: Hopefully getting my brain back! Tuesday I went to go to school and forgot I needed gas in my car. I only remembered when I was on my way to town. So I pulled into the gas station, opened the gas door, went to get my card to pay and realized I didn’t bring any money, drivers license, anything with me. I was running late for school (I was so tired I barely got out of bed) and I didn’t have enough gas to make it to school and back home so I had to drive back to my house and back to the gas station and then to the school. I got to the school right on time. OY! I really should have been late but the teacher was a few minutes late into class :).
Nausea/Vomiting? luckily no.
Labor signs? I’m on weekly drs appointments now and I really don’t know how to answer this when they ask… lol. My answer basically is no I guess.
Gender? We have had them verify it’s a girl 4 different times. I’d say she’s a girl 🙂
Belly Button in or out? My belly button is out. Now I’m trying to figure out why it’s soooooo dark but of course I can’t quite remember to ask the dr… oy!
Wedding rings on or off? I’m ready for my wedding rings back. I don’t like these that I’ve been wearing.
Sleep? So sad… I’m struggling here but I have been sleeping, just not the greatest. In fact, I could use a nap right now 🙂
Weekly Wisdom: Remember your drivers license and money when you leave the house 🙂
Due Date: Saturday June 28 but she’s measuring about a week ahead of schedule… by golly I do believe she’ll come when she wants :). Wonder if I make it through Summer School before she comes…. After yesterday’s drs appt I’m thinking she’s not coming for the next week. We finally packed our hospital bag and carseat into my car so we’ll probably have to induce right?
