36 weeks

How far along: 36 weeks, 9 months today folks!

Gender: GIRL! Think we've picked a name :)

Weight gain: 22 lbs as of Friday 6/6

Maternity clothes: Um, yes! 

Stretch marks: Still haven't noticed any - although I can't see my feet so there could me some hiding.

Belly button in or out: It's flat/poking out a little, and very weird :)

Sleep: Could be better. I was up from 2am-5a one night this weekend. Don't worry, I at least finished the grocery list and ate a bowl of cereal while I was up.

Symptoms: Lower back pain, trouble bending over, get out of breath easy, contractions, sore muscles, fatigue

Best moment this week:  We had a wonderful and productive weekend! Hadley stayed with Brandon's parents this weekend and had so much fun with her cousins. We put our house back together as the painters finished this week (absolutely LURVE our new look!!). My mom came over on Saturday and we did some serious work organizing 27 piles of Hadley's outgrown clothes and getting the baby's room cleaned and ready to go. Brandon and I got facials (his first and he loved it!) and had 2 dates over the weekend at Cru and Lakeside Tavern!
 
Miss anything: Sleeping any position I want, sleeping through the night, being comfortable

Movement: Yes! All the time! She is getting cramped - I can hardly bend over as I feel like I'm squishing her.  

Cravings: Sweets, fruit, and peanut butter. I may or may not have eaten half a jar of peanut butter last week. By myself.

Workouts:  Going to barre about 3-4 times a week and now just doing interval walking several days a week. Brandon and I went on a 3 mile "wog" (walk/jog) Sunday morning with Riley. I get lots of strange looks when I run these days :)

Looking forward to: 

1) Meeting our precious baby girl!  We've been waiting 36 long weeks and I can hardly wait to meet her.  I am so looking forward to her birth and Hadley being a big sis! :)  I'm having fun gathering items for Hadley 's"Happy Big Sister Day" bag she'll get on baby sister's birthday.

 

2) Also on Wednesday, I have my big ultrasound where they will look internally at the C-section scar on my uterus to make sure it is thick enough for me to attempt a VBAC. FINGERS CROSSED Y'ALL!    

3) Father's Day this weekend. Brandon has dominated fatherhood and I want to make it a special weekend for him!

Just for comparison, look how huge I was with the Hadster at 34.5 weeks and 37 weeks, respectively...wowza! I currently (at 36 weeks pregnant with #2, weigh the same as I did when I first got pregnant with Hadley - insane!)
