36 weeks!

The week after the shower meant the end of my summer semester (yay!) and just a little relaxing! I spent time sending thank you cards to everyone for the amazing gifts and keeping my big ole' ankles propped up! I washed all the baby's clothes through the 3rd month ( theres way too many clothes to go any further! ill get to those closer to time!)...This week was also my work shower! Although we were super busy that day, we finally were able to celebrate and everyone was so generous and giving! We had some yummy food and adorable decoration :) we were so grateful for all that we received! otherwise, its been pretty uneventful- having a few more hours each night between bathroom breaks which has been nice, and having a few random pains here and there which i suppose are just growing pains! but i feel great and am still working :) other than these swollen, tight ankles- all is well!!! Cant wait to meet him but also trying to enjoy the last of "just the two of us" as well as the silence and sleeping :)

p.s- we still dont have a name.. ugh!

36 weeks!

How far along?  36 weeks 

Total weight gain: 32lb- no weight gain this week believe it or not

Maternity clothes? yep

Stretch marks? the same little posse 

Sleep?  pretty good; very, very painful knuckles at night due to swelling and fluid as well as the painful body aches that i feel with each toss and turn! usually all this goes away after being up and moving for a few minutes

Best moment this week: finishing my summer class and having some time to just focus on baby! 

Miss Anything? wearing my wedding rings, smaller fingers and ankles and sleeping on my tummy (which i didnt care for before but once its not an option it can be annoying!)

Movement: all the time- though its becoming a slower type of moevement, more like a roll, since im sure he's totally out of room!

Food cravings: addicted to Perrier at this point- it fools me into thinking my water is a sprite! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: nope

Have you started to show yet: of course!

Gender: BOY!

Labor Signs:  just random, strange pains!

Belly Button in or out? in, but totally flat!

Wedding rings on or off? Off :(

Happy or Moody most of the time: still happy, although a few bouts of the blues at night this week- taking a walk around the neighborhood with Ben helped tons!

Looking forward to: meeting the baby!
