How Far Along: 36 weeks
Size of baby: A Melon! (Average size: 17.2 to 18.7 inches, 4.2-5.8 lbs)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 5 lbs this month! (35 total) I have gained the exact amount at the same time as I did with John Thomas!
Maternity Clothes: Mixed with Kris' shirts, they are SO comfy, I even took over a pair of his pajama pants last week!
Gender: Sweet baby GIRL! Ruby Caroline
Movement: Her movement has slowed down a lot, my doctor confirmed she is running out of room!
What I miss: Getting comfortable! It seems most ways I sit, lay or stand are all uncomfortable!
Sleep: I have good nights and not so great nights, and lots of crazy dreams. The most recent was I dreamed I delivered her myself, couldn't get Kris to wake up and she ended up being 9 lbs 6.75 ounces, had a head full of dark black hair and little squinty dark eyes! HA!
Symptoms: Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions and some back labor!
Cravings: For the first time in my whole pregnancy, food is just so-so, I think in part, due to the fact that I just don't have a lot of room left!
Best Moment this week (month): We are on weekly visits to the doctor now, and on Monday, I was 3 cm dilated and 50% effaced! She let us know quickly that she could feel her head and my body is ready for her anytime, or I could walk around like this for a couple more weeks. Personally, I am hoping for the latter!
What we are looking forward to: Christmas and finally getting to meet her sweet face! This will most likely be my last update, the next one should have her birth story!
