How far along? 36 weeks 1 day!
Total weight gain/loss: 26 lbs! looks like the weight seems to have steadied out. Not sure if its a fluke. i feel like i eat alot but i think im just getting full really easily.
Symptoms: feeling alright this week. had a tdap and flu shot earlier this week which caused body aches the next day (no fever tho) and my arm was so sore. that was not fun. but hopefully the baby got the antibodies from it! again, also feeling really full after eating alittle bit, alot less room in there. i don't think i have stretch marks (yet...) but i have some weird red marks, kind of like an internal bruise or something. i hope its not the start of stretch marks! lathering the lotion like crazy these days. also comparing previous pictures, my bump seems to have gotten rounder and higher the last few weeks.
Sleep: not as good this week. having to pee 1-2 times a night these days!! then its hard to go back to sleep cause my mind starts going into overdrive. i think i still sleep about 7-8 hours a night but just not continuous like it used to be.
Best moment this week: had my growth scan! found out everything is looking good with the baby, the baby seems to have dropped which may be why my bump is measuring smaller by a couple weeks. the fluid level and growth looked good tho. the baby is measuring 36-42nd percentile (alittle smaller than average!) and estimated to be 5.5 lbs (+/- 1 lb... so not completely accurate). and all the measurements are pretty proportional.
Movement: feeling the baby more, more movement than kicks. starting to pay attention more to the counts since i know in the last couple weeks the movement can decrease.
Cravings: want to make something pumpkin but not sure what! also had 2 peppermint mochas this week... (so bad but so good)
Anything making you queasy or sick: i made chili this week and i felt sick after. :-/ i think it was the beer i used in it! saddd
Labor Signs: i don't think so.. feeling weird stabbing in the cervix area, i've read it could be dilation but might just be some kind of muscle spasm. not sure!
Belly Button in or out? pretty flat. i can tell when i eat alot when my belly button is completely flat. otherwise its a shallow innie.
What I miss: sleeping in positions besides the sides, my old clothes, not worrying about fluid levels or baby movement, moving faster.
What I am looking forward to: the baby! thanksgiving!! working from home after thanksgiving!
