36 Weeks

This post is a day late. It's been the busiest LONGEST week ever... but tomorrow's Friday!

How far along? 36 weeks
How are you measuring? roughly 41 1/2 inches
Size of baby? according to What To Expect she's 19-22 inches, 6.5 lbs, and as big as a watermelon... that's crazy. I remember reading that they get this size when I was still in my first trimester. I never thought we'd get here. Time does fly.
Heartbeat? around 140-150 bpm
Total weight gain/loss? At my 36 week appointment I had gained 27 lbs.
Stretch Marks? Still no stretch marks, but I do have a faint linea nigra.
Sleep? I think I'm so exhausted from work that I'm actually sleeping pretty hard. I still get up to go to the bathroom once or twice a night, but I can usually go right back to sleep.
Best moment this week? Our doctor told us that Hadley was head down! It was so nice to hear!
Dilation/Effacement/Station? I got checked for the first time and apparently my cervix is still closed.
Movement? She's still moving tons. I feel her all day lately. I either feel her squirming down low, or I feel her poking me on my right side or way up high in my ribs. The other night she stuck her knee or foot out so far- it was insane. It was cool to feel but holy moly it hurt!
News? In Bradley Class this week we covered labor positions and emergency situations.
Food Cravings? Salt & Vinegar chips!
What I miss? I can't think of anything worth putting here this time. I'm enjoying this stage of pregnancy. 4 weeks left!
What I'm looking forward to? Getting our glider in for Hadley's nursery.
How are you feeling? I'm feeling good, but tired lately!
