He’s still in the 17.2- to 18.7-inch and 4.2- to 5.8-pound range and continues to beef up. She’s getting closer and closer to being able to breathe on her own. His skin is getting smooth and soft and her gums are rigid. Her liver and kidneys are in working order. Circulation and immune systems are basically good to go, too.
How Far Along: 36 Weeks
Days Left: 28 <——-holy crap!
Due Date: January 15th, 2016
Boy or girl: Team Green
Currently craving/Currently Avoiding: I’ve been wanting water a lot. Food wise anything fried is yummy and pasta! I’ve been way hungrier this week but not hungry at the same time. Very odd.
Weight: When I weighed myself at my appointment I was about 10lbs up. I’m happy with that. I wouldn’t be surprised if I weighed less than where I started once I give birth to this baby!
Belly button status: In!
Sleep grade: By the time 5pm comes I’ve hit a brick wall. My patience is thin and I’m exhausted yet I continue to not go to bed early. Something needs to change.
Recent Crazy Dream: I can’t remember exactly what happened but I know it wasn’t anything good.
Evidence of pregnancy brain: I’m so forgetful it’s insane. I had gotten a supplement to help but I keep forgetting to take it.
Symptoms?: Heartburn, not being able to breathe/catch my breathe, rapid heartbeat.
Health/Appointments: I had an appointment with my midwife and that went well, blood pressure is good. I’m only up 10lbs which is also good. Baby’s heart rate was in the upper 140s. I also got my second to last shot. Last one will be in just a couple of days! I can’t wait!
Movement: Baby is still super active. I got some really good kicks/punches earlier today that made me wince in pain. It was like a fist straight to my cervix.
Names: Nothing still. I’m getting really nervous and need to buckle down. I don’t want to struggle once the baby is here. Although knowing what the baby is will certainly make it easier.
Any baby related purchases?: I have a bouncer and a couple of onesies sitting in my Babies R Us cart. I need to check out. It’s time!
