*How far along?: 36 weeks!
*How big is baby?: The size of a Honeydew. Average size: 17.2-18.7 inches, 4.2-5.8 lb. Considering he was over 4.5 pounds a while ago... I'm assuming he's almost 6 pounds now.
*Total Weight Gain/Loss: Officially +45...and I keep growing!
*Maternity Clothes: Everything is starting to NOT fit. The above maternity shirt is barely long enough.
*Stretch Marks: I have seen a few. Sigh.
*Gender: Definitely a boy.
*Movement: Yes - lots. I also know now what Braxton Hicks contractions feel like. I guess I'd had them for awhile but I wasn't "sure." Well -- this weekend -- I am definitely sure I know what they feel like. We had a good time at a baseball game -- lots of walking, standing, eating, drinking. I certainly felt them while walking and noticed a difference in how my stomach felt! Eep!
*Sleep?: So far - so good. I'm up at least once a night.
*Best moment this week? The nursery is done. I've gone and messed it up and up since then by organizing and re-organizing things. I'm up to weekly appointments now and we celebrated the husband's birthday this weekend. I started to pack our hospital bags and made up the baby's diaper bag. All that's left is to finish my bag packing, re-organize the nursery area, and that whole car seat needs to be installed soon... eh? My work had a mini-shower for me and was quite generous...I promptly spent that Target gift card on last minute essentials for baby...why does he need so many products?! LOL
*Food cravings?: Absolutely sweets. I have never had as much ice cream or cake as I have had while pregnant.
*What I miss: Going to a craft beer festival while pregnant certainly reminded me how much I used to enjoy beer! They had like three tables of cider too. I loved how I saw several babies -- some tiny! -- at this festival. I can't wait to take the baby out to socially acceptable booze festivals.
*Symptoms: Well, now that I know what contractions feel like... those I guess. Swelling--duh.
*What I'm Looking Forward To: Another appointment tomorrow. She said she would have more information about a potential induction just because of my size, weight gain, he's a giant, I'm a swollen mess, etc. Because I keep hearing about "induction," I also feel like each day is my "last." Last day at work, last weekend alone with the husband, etc. I don't know when it really WILL be my last and now is as good a time as any to think those things.
*Thoughts: I'm just taking it one day at a time now. I am getting bigger -- didn't know it was possible -- and just want to see how the rest of the month ends up.

I recognize that top! :) I've been having Braxton Hicks off and on since week 20 and they are super annoying.
And we're totally planning on taking our baby to wine bars and wine festivals. People in Austin do it all the time--thank goodness!
Looking good love!! :)
You look great! You are definitely smaller than me, ya jerk! JK. Hope the rest of the tiem goes fast!
wow 36 weeks! What a great time. Almost there but not quite lol I remember those days. Although, I gained so much more weight I was over 200 lbs when my little guy decided to say hello haha. Wishing you the best of luck with the birth :)
What a good time to eat sweets though! You're getting so close to baby boy being here!
You are SO cute! I can't believe how close you are, it really flew by (well for us ;) haha.. And that shirt brings back memories for sure. It was one of my pregnancy wardrobe staples!
