36 Weeks

Size of Baby: The size of a coconut; over 18 inches long and almost 6 pounds

Maternity Clothes: Mostly maternity clothes. Due to this lovely feet swelling, I will mostly be wearing flip flops from here on out.

Gender: It's a girl--Sidney Katherine (we're not real sure if we will just call her Sidney or Sidney Kate)

Belly Button In/Out: Pretty flat

Movement: She's most active when I get in bed at night. She's running out of room and is often pushing around trying to find more room.

Sleep: Every night is different. Some nights it's easy to get to sleep, others not so much. I'm still getting some sleep though. I slept like a baby last night. I think I only got up to go to the bathroom once.

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach; simple, mundane things such as bending over easily or putting my shoes on easily; not having to go to the bathroom constantly

Cravings/Aversions: No aversions. Anything has sounded good this last week. I have been very thirsty. I tend to get really thirsty about the last hour or so before I go to bed, which is not a good thing.

Symptoms: Backaches and tired feet, all depending on what I've done that day and where/how I've been sitting. The swelling in my feet is starting to get worse; it is mainly my left foot that swells.

Best Moment This Week: We saw our sweet baby girl yesterday but she did not want her picture taken--she had her hands over her face. Also, I had a GREAT shower with friends on Sunday!

What I am looking forward to: One more shower tomorrow at school. I'm looking forward to the weekend and having time to finish up the room. Also, I'm getting a belly cast made on Saturday.

Update from Doctor's Appointment: According to the ultrasound technician's measurements, (which can be off either way), I'm measuring about 37 weeks, 4 days and Sidney appears to be about 7 lb, 2 oz. So, looks like she may come early...we'll wait and see.
