How far along? 36 weeks
Size of the baby: Our baby is the size of a honeydew. About 17.2-18.7 in long and about 4.2-5.8 lbs. She is getting closer to being able to breath on her own and her skin is getting smooth & soft!
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? None
Sleep: It pretty much is the hardest thing these days to get comfortable enough to fall asleep and just when I think I am then I have to roll myself out of bed to go pee for the millionth time! Started using an extra pillow just for my big belly. I have been having very vivid dreams lately which for some reason makes me wake up in the middle of the night hot and sweating to death. Lets just say I miss sleeping through the night comfortably.
Best moment this week: Started packing my hospital bag and Rayna's things which made this whole pregnancy a lot more REAL even though I have an obvious growing belly. Getting so close to meeting our newest little girl!! Also, received a couple packages that I ordered for baby girl this week (headbands and onesie stickers)! Got to do some fun stuff with big sister too...went to the park, took her to visit the Easter Bunny (which she LOVED this year!), weekly little gym date, shopping & lunch, play date with our neighbor, got to meet my other neighbor's new puppy dog which she calls baby ruff ruff and LOVES, and brought her to take Bluebonnet pics!
Worst moment this week: Not really a bad moment this week....just feeling lots of pressure and discomfort all the time!
Miss Anything? Just being comfortable. Sleep is definitely still a challenge these days! It takes forever to find a position that works and then once I do, I have to either get up to pee or the baby starts moving like crazy!
Movement: Her movement hasn't changed at all....lots of kicks & rolls! Love them all!
Food cravings: Mexican food, sweets, and Dr. Pepper (limiting my caffeine though)
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
Have you started to show yet: Yes!
Gender: GIRL!! Rayna Elyse Sosbe <3
Labor Signs: No
Pregnancy Symptoms: Swollen feet, lots of restroom breaks, and having more discomfort!!
Belly Button in or out? Still in but I feel like it will pop out any day now!!
How are you feeling? Good but feeling very uncomfortable lately
Looking forward to:
- Fun Easter activities this weekend including dying Easter eggs for the first time, another Easter egg hunt (since Daddy missed the egg hunt at church last weekend), Easter lunch with my whole family while my parents visit, and Easter Sunday with my little family.
- Getting to see my parents (who she LOVES) when they come up one day this week to visit!
- I am also looking forward to my 36 week apt next week when my doctor finally measures and estimates the baby's weight. I am nervous that this little girl will be big like her sister was (Rylee was 8.3 lbs when she was born)! <36 week apt update: Heartbeat - 125 bpm, measuring 34 weeks instead of 36 weeks most likely because she has dropped (is next week she is still measuring small then she will do an ultrasound to check on her), she estimated that she will weigh around 7 lbs (we will see...Rylee had the same estimate and weighed 8.3 lbs!), no weight gain in the last two weeks (actually lost 2 lbs since my last visit), dilated 1 cm already, and I start next week going every week to the doctor!>
