36 Weeks!

I have been terrible about updating weekly, but the weeks are going by so quickly its hard to keep up.

How Far Along:  36 weeks tomorrow!  Our due date was one month from yesterday…although I don’t think we will make it that far.

Size of Baby:  At last weeks appointment my doctor did an ultrasound to check on his growth, because she was concerned that I was measuring on the small side of normal.  To her surprise, he is actually measuring ahead!  He was already estimated to weigh 6 lbs 2 ounces at the 35 week appointment.  She said she is not sure where he is in there, but we were relieved that he was growing big!  I really don’t see how I am measuring on the small side of normal over here either…feeling pretty large!  HA!

Maternity Clothes:  Definitely.  Living in leggings.

Gender:  Still a boy!

Movement:  He is moving a lot and it is sometimes painful!

Sleep:  Hit or miss…I have had a good couple of nights in a row.

Symptoms:  Back pain, pelvic pain, nose bleeds, insomnia some nights, serious nesting…been washing everything in sight! 

What I miss:  Jimmy! 

Cravings:  Still craving sweets way more than I ever did pre-pregnancy.  Going to indulge as much as possible these last few weeks.  Did I really just say last few WEEKS?!?

Best Moment this week:  Hearing that Charlie Banks is a big boy after her concern over his growth.  Getting his car seat installed thanks to help from my friend Stephanie.  Started packing our hospital bags!  A much needed massage thanks to Jimmy.  Had a really nice Thanksgiving with family on Folly.  Decorating our new house for Christmas!  A Clemson victory over the Gamecocks!

What I am looking forward to:  Jimmy getting home on the 16th.  Charlie Banks’ arrival!  Bring on December…it is scary/exciting/crazy to say that come tomorrow we will have a baby THIS MONTH!
