State of the Uterus: 36 Weeks!

How far along? 36 weeks! Umm, you guys? We're into the 9th month now. How is that possible?!

Due Date: January 6, 2013, with a c-section scheduled for 12/31.

 

Total weight gain/loss: +20. I think I'm starting to plateau.
 

Maternity clothes? This question is kind of a joke at this point, haha.
 

Sleep: Not so great. Once I finally get some good sleep, my crazy toddler wakes me up at the crack of dawn. Yesterday, he thought 5:40 would be an appropriate time to get up on a Saturday.

Best moment this week: Having the opportunity to sleep in a little this morning, thanks to my hubby who got up with Colin.
 

Movement: Still feeling tons of movement! How does he have enough room to move around so much in there?
 

Food cravings: Spicy foods and sweets, which is ironic because both have been giving me heartburn.
 

Food aversions: The smell of meat cooking has been a turn off for me this week.
 

Gender: It's a boy! Reid William Vaughan.

Labor Signs: Still having Braxton Hicks contractions a few times a day, but nothing excessive.
 

Belly Button in or out? Still barely in.

What I miss: Sleeping comfortably and having a wider variety of clothing to wear.


What I am looking forward to: Where do I begin? From this point on I'll be seeing the OB once a week, so that's pretty exciting. Also, I only have 9 work days left until Christmas break / maternity leave! Can I get a hallelujah? 

Milestones: From this point on, Reid is pretty much just gaining weight and body fat. I can't wait to kiss those squishy cheeks!
