36 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights
How far along: 36 Weeks

Size of Baby: Over 18.5 inches long & weighs 6lbs

Total Weight Loss/Gain: Gained a total of 29lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Everything.

Gender: It's a girl!

Movement: Constantly kicking.

What I miss: Laying on my stomach at night. Even laying on my side is uncomfortable and I use pillows. Being able to move around with ease. Thankfully, Adam can help me up from the floor when I'm playing with the kids. It's hard when the kids want to sit on my lap and cuddle, but there isn't much room and it's pretty uncomfortable for me.

Cravings: Not really anything food wise, but I have been on kick of wanting Iced Coffee's. This has to be a craving because I have never really wanted Iced Coffee before or been a fan. I don't even do fraps. Normally, I'm a hot coffee drinker. I wonder if this will change after deliver.

Symptoms: Heartburn, however after last week's experience, I think we finally have it under control.  I'm constantly using the bathroom. We can barely run errands without me having to stop to use the bathroom at least twice. With the heartburn under control for now, I'm sleeping better. I still have to wake up due to bathroom breaks, but I am sleeping a little more soundly.

Best Moment of the Week: I start my weekly appointments. I have one this morning to test for Strep B and see if I've made any progress.

I really should pack my bag for the hospital. I ordered a couple of things for Peyton's arrival, so hopefully in the next few weeks it will arrive.

I received a call from my best friend in Cali telling me that she found a really great deal on tickets to come visit me after Peyton's arrival. Not only that, but we have convinced some of my girlfriends to come as well. Two of them haven't been to Texas before and I can't wait to take them for great Mexican food and show them around. I feel so loved and I know Peyton will  too.

*Edit* Went to the doctor this morning and he checked me and I'm already 3cm dilated and 50% effaced. This is great news in that my body is already doing some of the work now. While this is my third pregnancy and I hope things move a little quicker this time around, I realize that I could still go long after my due date. I don't think that will be the case, but it could happen.
