How far along: 36 weeks pregnant! Due June 28th!
Total weight gain: Up 20 lb.
Maternity clothes: Bottoms now are maternity or a few sizes up {I have two pair of pants that still fit but ONLY because they are stretchy jean material and are super low rise}. Shirts are mostly baggy ones, extra long ones, or simply maternity.
Stretch marks: I am still using my FAVORITE stretch mark oil {here} and the chest cream {here}. Also- A reader left a comment about the oil, which made me spend some time on Amazon looking around, and turns out they sell a BIG bottle of the oil for a ridiculous deal. The normal bottle is 4oz and runs $45, the big bottle is 16oz. and is only $68! What?!!!!!!!!!! From now on I am getting the big daddy {here}!
Sleep: Having a hard time getting comfortable, but only waking up once usually to go pee- so not too bad.
Best moment of this week: J had a reallyyyy busy week at work, so we cherished this weekend. We were supposed to go to Flagstaff but my doctor ended up saying no when she found out! I was so bummed, but it was probably a good idea- because the altitude change usually causes me to contract way too much. We ended up having fun with friends and getting a great date night in, so all was well in the end:)
Miss anything: I think the fact that my doctor said i’ll probably have him between 37-38 weeks makes me not care anymore about what I am missing, and just want to savor in every last second of this pregnancy.
Movement: All the time! Sometimes it hurts, but mainly its just amazing.
Food cravings: Haven’t been able to get enough of Watermelon. Don’t know if its how hot it is outside or a prego craving, but either way every week Bray and I devour a whole Costco size watermelon. And drinking Arnold Palmers..yum! And as always, doughnuts and icecream.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing this week.
Have you started to show yet: Large and in charge, and thats quite alright;)
Gender: Another little boy, and we are so freaking excited!
Labor signs: At my 36 1/2 week appointment I was dilated to a 2, 70% effaced, and a -2 station. Sometimes I have a contraction that is a little uncomfortable, but other than that nothing really.
Belly button in or out: Its all out and I feel like pokes out of clothes more this time around than last
Wedding rings on or off: On, which is surprising since they weren’t fitting at this point with Bray!
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy as can be!
Looking forward to: Celebrating our nephews 1st Birthday this weekend, and a friends going away party. Also, I always love having more days being pregnant because that means more time to get stuff done!
