36 Weeks!!!

How far along are you? 

36 Weeks, 2 Days!

 

Total weight gain? 

  30.6 lbs

Baby Information?
Baby sounds good!

Any doctor news?

Blood pressure was 110/60 yesterday.  I am measuring perfectly, which is good because with Lucas, I measured small (I swear sometimes he was hiding in my spine) from having low amniotic fluid.

Best moment ?

 The bed set came the other day.  Her bed is made.  It looks so pretty!

 

Worst moment ?

I'm getting a lot of, "Why?" about the c-section.  Not that I have to defend it, but this was not a choice I made lightly. I am having placenta issues, this baby could be just as big as Lucas, and I don't want to risk injury to her because I chose to try to deliver her.  My doctor is not the type to push for a c-section, he just remembered that Lucas was a really tough delivery, and my recovery time was longer than it would have been had he been a little smaller.  Yes, a c-section is surgery, and the recovery takes a while, but at least I'll be able to sit (TMI? LOL!).

Stretch Marks?
Some by my belly button.  Nothing major.

Maternity clothes
Yup.  I would like to wear pajamas all day every day.  

Symptoms
 Heartburn.  Have to use the bathroom a lot.  Haven't had a nosebleed in a while (knock on wood).  I am EXHAUSTED.  I had to remind Scott that when I was this far along with Lucas, school was done, so I could lay around the house all day and I wasn't as tired.  

Cravings
Grapes.  Water. Pretzels.
 
 Gender? 

As far as I know, she is still a girl!

Sleep?
It comes and goes.  I'm on an every other night cycle with halfway decent sleep.  
 

What I miss?

Being able to form a complete sentence without really having to think about what I want to say!  I think my class is starting to think I'm losing my mind!
 

What I'm looking forward to?

My team is throwing us a baby shower (sprinkle? drizzle?) on Tuesday, so that will be fun!  And, of course, I'm looking forward to May 22nd!!!!!
