36 Weeks!!

36 Weeks! 

I think I can, I think I can, make it 4 more.

Size of baby:   We measured at the Doctors to see if she was going to be big like Re.  And the results are....YEP we have another big one.  She is currently measuring 6 lb 4 oz. and in the 92%.  Right on schedule to be a 9 lb. baby at 40 weeks. YAY!! Can you hear my excitement?

Movement:   She is stretching so much.  Usually arms and legs at the same time.

Gender & Name:   It's a girl!  No name yet, but wouldn't tell if there was. 

Symptoms:    Still tired.  I am still taking iron, which helped for a little bit, but not much now.

Maternity clothes:    Still fitting into my maternity clothes, even though I feel a lot bigger than I did with Redon. 

Sleep:    Sleeping pills work some times. So some days I get a lot of sleep (meaning 5/6 hours) and some not so much.

Weight gained:  Another 6 lb. UGH!!   Total of 31 lb. At least this is less than I gained with Re.

Food Cravings:  Finally started craving food, but only for 2 days.  All I wanted was egg rolls and sizzling rice soup.  But I got neither and then it passed.  Turns out Chinese Restaurants near us are not open for lunch on Sundays and are closed all day on Mondays.  Just my luck! 

Belly Button out or in:  It is out.

Fun moments from this past month:    Had a great Father's day, got to see the Braves retire Smoltz's number and B was finally able to join is on a trip to the Zoo!  We had a blast.

What I am looking forward to:   Getting ready for baby and all the last min. details. Plus special one on one activities with Re before baby.  I love Mama and Re time.

Reflections on the past month:   I love watching Re get excited about baby coming.  Watching her talk about the baby and all the ways she is going to help out, she really is an amazing girl!  So blessed!
