Like Whoa. How Far Along: 36 weeks
Total Weight Gain: 32 pounds (um yikes?!?!)
Stretch Marks: None. Still thanking the baby Jeebus and hoping upon hope it stays this way!
Sleep: Minimal. Exhaustion has hit again. I toss and turn all night trying like crazy to find a position that is comfortable but I can’t sleep on my stomach (for obvious reasons) and I can’t sleep on my back either b/c of the pressure on one of the main arteries or whatever so it’s only on my sides. Not cutting it one bit. Even with my body pillow.
Best Moment This Week: My baby shower last Sunday in Des Moines. It was so great to get to see everyone and we got some great gifts for Nugget! Also, Wade installing the new tile floor and wainscoting in the bathroom. It looks great!
Movement: Nugget is a mover and a shaker for sure. And now that she is getting so large (approx 5 ½ pounds at this point) the jabs and pokes are starting to get painful at times. I find myself gasping at times when she really goes to town. Yikes!
Food cravings: Strawberries again. Can’t get enough of them. And pineapple and fruits in general. Also pizza. I don’t want you guys thinking I’ve become a health nut b/c I totally am not.
Labor Signs: I’ve had some Braxton Hicks contractions here and there but nothing major.
Belly Button in or out? This is weird but it depends on Nugget’s position in there. Sometimes it is out and I mean WAY out. Other times it is flat across and other times still I’ve even noticed it being in just the slightest bit. So I guess it just depends on how she’s lounging in there.
What I miss: I still miss my wine, beer, margaritas, martinis, etc. I also miss not swelling up at even the slightest bit of heat and humidity. Although it hasn’t been as horrible as some, it’s still no fun. And I definitely miss sleeping on my stomach. And my pre-pregnancy clothes/body. And normal sex (sorry TMI). And sleep. And late nights out. And my energy. Ugh. I guess I miss a lot.
What I am looking forward to: This long holiday weekend! I can’t wait to have a day off. I’ve been keeping my PTO usage to a minimum so that I can use as much as possible when Nugget is born so I haven’t had a full day off in quite sometime! We;ve got a lot that needs to be done before she gets here and I'm hopeful we can get a lot checked off that list this weekend!
Weekly Wisdom: Get up and walk around often. It helps with the swelling and keeps my tailbone from hurting more. (For some reason my tailbone kills me when I sit down. It is awful and I have no idea why.)
Milestones: We can now say I am due this month! Happy July!!! :)
I hope you all have a wonderful 4th!

Ooooh, not long to go now! Exciting!!!
I'll make sure and drink loads of wine this weekend, and you can live vicariously through me when I undoubtedly either post-under-the-influence or have an embarrassing tale to tell about what happened when I was drunk!

So excited to meet your baby girl!
I'm at 31 weeks and have all the same complaints! The difficulty sleeping is such a pain-- there are no comfortable positions. It's so awesome you've entered your birth month-- not long now!
You are such a cute little basketball-pregnancy, lady!!!!! So close! :-)
