HOW FAR ALONG: 37 WEEKS
WEIGHT GAIN: 43 lbs - 206 total. I never got around to
posting for week 35 but at my 35 week appt is when I saw the number 200 on the
scale. I just stood on the scale staring at the number. The nurse had to ask if
I was ok cause I’m sure I just looked like I was in shock. LOL!
SLEEP: I’m back to no sleep
what.so.ever!!!! With peeing, hip pain, hard of breath, contractions, you name
it…I probably get around 2 hours of sleep a night. But like I said before this
is just boot camp for when the baby arrives. Surprisingly I’ve been ok. I don’t
feel like a zombie and I wouldn’t consider myself super cranky. Just can’t
sleep. And if you know me…you know I love my sleep so it’s extremely surprising
I’m not ripping Eddy’s head off.
MOVEMENT: She mostly just
wiggles, I’m sure to the lack of room in there but I never feel kicks anymore.
But the past couple days she does the weirdest move…like when you have a great
stretch in the morning and your muscles do a quick shake. It feels like she’s
doing that. My whole belly just shakes for about 5-10 seconds. Makes me giggle.
FOOD CRAVINGS: Still
crunching on ice. I don’t think I’ll ever want to stop. My newest obsession is
peanut butter. I want it all the time…morning, noon, and night. Sometimes I just
grab the tub and a spoon and have at it.
STILL SICK: Lately I’ve been
feeling super nauseous again so I’ve had to munch on some mints to help. But
luckily no throwing up.
SYMPTOMS: Hip pain, pelvic
pain, contractions, sick to my stomach…and sorry for the TMI of this next one
but going to the bathroom every 5 minutes (I’m not talking about pee). But
everyone tells me that’s normal towards the end.
GENDER: Girl! Friends have
been dropping off more clothes for Lizzy. I doubt she’ll wear the same outfit
twice in the first 6 months of her life. I love it!
MOOD: Happy that I can see
the finish line and I get to meet our Lizzy Love soon. Nervous for labor. And
definitely OVER being pregnant.
LOOKING FORWARD TO: Feeling
contractions and knowing it’s time to head to the hospital instead of my body
just crying wolf. I realize that my body is practicing for the real thing but I’m
just ready for the real thing to actually happen. We’ve rehearsed enough…come
on people, I want it to be showtime!
