Baby is the size of? A head of romaine lettuce. Baby weighs about 6 pounds and is about 18.5 inches long. At this time baby is packing on the weight, about an ounce a day!
Total weight loss/gain? Didn't weigh myself this week and forgot what it was at the doctors.
Maternity Clothes? Yes pretty much only wear my maternity dresses, they are the most comfortable.
Stretch Marks? None so far! Yea!
Sleep? Sleep is getting tough. I get up to pee a lot and flip sides. Last night I was having a lot of Braxton hicks contractions and thought for sure we would need to head to the hospital.
Best moment of this week? 36 week doctors appointment was great. Had a routine hemoglobin test for 36 weeks and doctor said mine was at a 12 which was very high and very good, means I am not anemic. BP was great, urine was fine, weight was good. I felt great after the appointment.
Worst moment of this week? We got a lot done this weekend but still feel like there is so much more to do. My washing machine has been going non-stop for three days, washing all the baby clothes, baby toys, all our usual laundry, etc. Still have more to go. I was also upset when I was going through all the baby clothes I had stored in boxes in our spare closet and a lot of them had yellow stains. The next day I laid them all outside on a sheet in the sun and then washed them and good as new. :)
Miss Anything? Being able to bend down and pick things up. Cleaning up after Harrison and Clancy on the daily is quite tough!
Movement? The last few days I hadn't felt as much movement as usual, a little here and there so I was getting worried. Tonight as I was reading Harrison books in bed I could feel baby kicking and moving a lot. Definitely feel better now.
Food Cravings? Milk and milkshakes
Anything make you queasy or sick? Eggs and chicken
Symptoms? Tired but not as tired as before. I have been taking little cat naps here and there if I get lucky and Harrison naps. Still major heart burn. Braxton hicks all last night and today.
Have you started to show yet? Absolutely!
I look huge from the front view
Gender Predictions? I think a boy. I went out today to buy some gender neutral sleeper suits for the hospital. I saw the cutest little girl outfits so I bought one for a girl and then a cute one for a boy and then a gender neutral one. They were too cute to pass up. Harrison is certain its a girl, when shopping for clothes today I said should we look at the girl or boy clothes and he said "Only girls". His intuition is on point lately.
Labor signs? All the Braxton hicks contractions the last two days. Praying baby does not come early but it has me thinking he or she will arrive early.
Belly Button in or out? Pretty much out but not as bad as some outties I have seen.
Exercise? Chasing and playing with Harrison.
Happy or Moody most of the time? Still pretty happy.
Looking forward to? Meeting this baby and announcing his or her arrival to our friends and family.
Any irrational worries? C-section complications, Harrison wanting to climb or jump on me after my surgery, two babies screaming/crying at the same time.
