Bumpdate: Week 36

"Mom, I listen to baby's heartbeat, okay?"

How far along? 36 weeks-- so close, yet so far away! (At least it feels like it!)

Total weight gain? 20 pounds so far, I think?

Maternity clothes? Haha I think we've passed the maternity clothes stage an are stuck in the "I only wear my husband's clothes now"

Sleep? None, ever. This baby needs to come soon if I'm not going to be sleeping. I'd rather not be sleeping if I have something cute to look at instead of watching reruns of Friends & Parks & Rec.

Best moment this week? My doctor's appointment where I was told I was finally full term and that if I went into labor, they weren't going to try to stop it. Hallelujah, music to my ears!

Worst moment this week? Jeff was gone and it was so hard! I spent the entire time hoping I wouldn't go into labor while he was gone & trying so hard to be patient with Paige.

Miss anything? A lack of heartburn, being able to sleep on my stomach, and pants that fit haha!

Movement: All the time. I swear this kid never stops moving, but I love it. 

Food craving/aversions? All I ever want is a giant steak & garlic mashed potatoes but my heartburn's telling me no. Can that be my first meal post-baby?

Have you started to show yet? I don't think I can stop showing haha! You'll see me coming from miles away ;)

Gender? A boy, a boy! So excited for a boy! :)

Symptoms: Heartburn like crazy. I'm usually up 75% of the night throwing up because it's so bad. I'm taking tums on top of prescribed medication and nothing is working! I even sleep sitting up at this point, and oof. It's bad. And contractions! Not a lot & not very strong, but enough to make me think this kid's going to be here soon!
