Weekly Survey - 36 Weeks!

Late again... yup! Whoopsies! Keeping myself pretty busy these days!

How far along?: 36 weeks (aka 9 months!!)!! Crazy! Only 4ish weeks left till we get to meet our little peanut!!

This week, Baby E is the size of a: HONEYDEW MELON!!

Maternity clothes?: Yep! However, nowadays I would just prefer to not wear clothes! bahaha!! Sorry about that... TMI, much??!

Total weight gain/loss: Absolutely gaining and feeling HUGE!!! Getting more and more uncomfortable as the days progress!

Stretch marks?: I think I might be getting tiny ones on my sides???! Trying to keep lotion/ coconut oil on the, but they are going to happen, no matter what I do! Ha!

Sleep: Still sleeping pretty good! I've been nesting like crazy lately, so as soon as my head hits the pillow at night, I'm pretty much out! I toss and turn a bit at night (when my hips start to ache) and have to get up for frequent potty breaks, but really not too much to complain about.

Best moment this week: Reaching 9 months (so glad our little guy is still baking in there!)!! Getting a lot of stuff done around the house, while preparing for Mr. Evan 's arrival! Oh, and can't forget National Donut Day - I definitely enjoyed a donut and some coffee!!! I did a little treadmill action to try and justify it - ha! I have also tried to stick with some exercising this week(although it's nothing like it used to be, I'm trying to keep Momma and Baby somewhat healthy!)!

{Hmmm... I might be nesting a bit! Can't seem to get this darn house clean enough! haha!}

{Just some nursery organization and some pics of our moose obsession!! hehe! LOVE it!}

{Like I said, trying to stick with it, but it's proving to be more and more challenging!}

{Can't be cranky when there are donuts and coffee!}

Movement: Yup! Great Grandma Carolee, Grandma Melia, and Grandpa Mike also got to feel his strong movements this week! Of course, Daddy has still been feeling him move - he moves whenever Daddy talks to him! He's a Daddy's boy and I love it!

Food cravings: FRUIT!!!

Anything making you queasy or sick?: Not really. Heartburn sucks!!!!

Have you started to show yet?: Um, I'm going to go with yes, folks! What do you think???! hehehe.

Labor signs?: Nope.

Belly button in or out?: In still.

Wedding rings on or off?: Off. :(

Happy or moody most of the time?: It depends. Trying to stay happy and upbeat. :)

Symptoms: All the same ones.

What I miss: Same things that I have mentioned before. Nothing new comes to mind.


What I'm looking forward to: Reaching 37 weeks!! We can't wait to meet our little guy in a few short weeks (well, I'm sure they will feel long to me! haha!)!!

Milestones: (Based on a pregnancy app) Your baby has an insatiable appetite at this point, working hard to gain as much weight as possible. The knees and elbows are getting those tell tale folds of infancy. While the downy hair called lanugo is just about gone, the cheese like substance called vernix has now covered your baby (sounds yuck... but you won't think anything of it when you see your baby for the first time). Your baby is still sleeping around 90% of the day away, and will continue to do this even a couple of weeks after birth. Your baby is life size now - and will gain weight at the rate of 1/2 to 1 pound per week from here on out (you know what that means, right?? More gaining for momma! hahaha!)!!

Weekly wisdom: Start paying more attention to your mood and your body. Really listen to your body too! It will tell you when you've done too much and need to just take some time to rest! Speaking of rest, remember to be getting plenty of it!!! :)

We're getting close, Mr. Evan!! We can't wait, but are still getting stuff prepared for your arrival, so you just continue to hang out in Momma's belly and bake away!! Love you bunches, little man!! Hugs and Kisses, from Momma and Daddy!
