Sad to report that we didn't take any other pictures this week other than the fun "downward dog" poses I did to get baby boy to turn after the appointment. But baby is the size of a honeydew melon this week.
How far along?: 36 weeks, 5 days
Maternity clothes: Oh yes. And unfortunately, it's a combo of the same things over and over these days...just no way around it!
"Tiger Stripes": Loud and proud!
Sleep: Don't even get me started on this topic. I swear to goodness this is God's way to prepare a momma, because I haven't had a good night's sleep in over a month...especially this week with an ear ache, body aches, and getting up to tinkle every hour.
Best moment this week: Our appointment! Finding out how we were progressing was amazing. Made both of us very anxious to hold him soon!
Miss Anything: Beer and wine this week. We went to my boss' annual pig roast, and I would have given anything to have an Oktoberfest!!
Movement: If this child does not excel physically when he is OUT of the womb, I will seriously be surprised. He is crazy!
Symptoms: Uncomfortableness; Swelling; NESTING!; and getting tired after doing very little around the house.
Food cravings: Anything really. But then my appetite goes away quickly. It's a vicious cycle.
Anything making you queasy or sick: The usual.
Labor Signs: Mostly the same in this department. Some more cramping than usual, and PRESSURE! All things that make me "waddle" haha
Belly Button in or out?: Mostly out, or flat.
Wedding rings on or off: I cannot WAIT to get those sparklers back on my finger!
General Mood: Good; busy; anxious; nervous; emotional; and I think at times, a bit impatient with everyone and everything....woooo saaa
Best advice this week: All of the fun advice from my sister-in-law since she just had sweet little baby Harper. There are some things that nobody ever tells you (or they think you already know)....wearing men's deodorant when your hormones make yours just not cut it in the end. That is genius!
Worst advice this week: Nothing really. Some people told me how uncomfortable I look, and gave me tricks to induce labor naturally. But the truth is, I wasn't uncomfortable at all when they gave me the advice, and the methods are, let's say, NOT natural! haha
Exercise: Walking, stretching, yoga poses to get baby boy to turn, etc.
Looking forward to: This baby to make his debut!
