36 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 36 Weeks

Baby is the size of a: Crenshaw melon?? Almost 6 lbs and 18.5 inches. 

Total weight gain: Still 27 lbs.

Maternity clothes? Yep! And maxi dresses, and yoga pants. Mostly yoga pants.

Stretch marks? None on the belly, but some new ones popped up on my butt.

Sleep: Awful. I've been really itchy for the last 4 days or so... Like, my entire body! I've had to take Benadryl to get any sleep. :(

Best moment this week? Getting our carseat finally, finishing the bathroom, and just being able to relax!

Miss anything? Sleep. Wine. Core strength.

Movement: Tons! :)

Cravings? Still nothing weird. I haven't really had any uncontrollable cravings. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Labor signs: Still lots of Braxton Hicks. Getting more crampy, but I don't know if that's impending labor, or just regular pregnancy stuff. Also, *TMI*, I've lost a few pieces of my mucus plug over the last 2 days. Progress!

Symptoms: Same old, same old. 

Belly Button in or out? Out!

Wedding rings on or off? Off. :(

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy and much less stressed!

Looking forward to: Zoey! I can't believe she'll be here in less than a month... Only 26 days left until my due date!!

Doctor's appointment today was great. BP is still normal, and Zoey is officially head down! I'm on weekly appointments now. The only thing I'm nervous about is.... My doctor is going on vacation in 2 weeks! He'll be gone from 8/3 to 8/10... so, my 39th week. EEP! Here's hoping she doesn't decide to come that week!!

As I mentioned before, we finally got our travel system in the mail! I put it together all by myself, and it's SO CUTE!! We ordered it from Target. I love it because we wanted something NOT pink... The colors are white, black, and different shades of purple. The stroller folds REALLY easily, and it truly is one-handed! Also the storage bin under the stroller is really roomy, compared to some that I've seen!

At my doctor's office, one of the nurses is certified in car seat installation... so I took the car seat and base, and she showed me how to install it! We also brought a teddy bear (remember her bear that Thomas and I made her at Build-a-Bear?) so she could show us how to adjust the straps.

Pinky made a really good stand-in Zoey!  I'm really glad she was there to show us how to install it... Now I just need to remember how to do it so I can install the other base in Thomas's car!

See you next week! :)
