How far along? 36 weeks
Baby's Development: We are about 6 lbs and 20 inches long..about the size of a crenshaw melon. All of Stella’s bones (including skull) are still pretty soft at this point to make delivery a little easier on me. Most of her systems are fully with the exception of a few, like her digestion system which will develop sometime after birth.
Weight Gain? 9 lbs over pre-pregnancy weight
Am I Showing? There's definitely no denying it.
Sleep? How many times does one have to wake up to pee at night, seriously? I have to pee before I even lay back down from getting up to pee!
Exciting Moment? We started weekly OB visits this week, which makes it really feel "real." I had my first internal check and I was 1 cm and 50% effaced...nothing to get excited over.
We also had Sophia's second birthday party over the weekend! It was mainly family because we did it in Augusta and kept it small, but she had a blast and that's all that matters!
Our "family photographer," Jessica came to her birthday and we managed to sneak in a few maternity pictures, too. I was bummed because I didn't think that we would get a chance to do them, so I am thrilled with how they turned out!
Gender: GIRL!
Stretch marks? None yet
What do I miss? Ugh...where do I begin? Mainly I just miss feeling "normal."
How have I been feeling? I'm pretty over it. I had a mini breakdown after Sophia's party because it's frustrating feeling like you're limited in what you can do and constantly having to ask others (i.e. Matt) for help. He has been stepping up big time, but it's still frustrating. I think every pregnant woman feels this way towards the end. Don't get me wrong, I am so so thankful that this pregnancy has been perfect so far and I'm trying not to wish my time away. It's just a little hard to be in that mindset all the time.
Movement: She's my little tiny dancer in there!
Food cravings: Sonic ice, all day long. Whenever we pull in to a Sonic, Sophia asks for "Ice ice baby!"
Food aversions: None..just hard to fit food in anywhere right now.
Rings on or off? Still on and loose most of the time.
Happy or Moody most of the time: A lot more moody this week.
Baby "To Do" List: We still have stuff in the basement to dig through and we need to rearrange the furniture in her nursery.
