Q&A at 36 WEEKS

 

HOW FAR ALONG?

36 weeks!

HOW BIG IS THE PEANUT?

Gigi is the size of a mini watermelon, and she's about 6lbs and 10oz. I still have a few weeks left so she might get even bigger!!! 

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN/LOSS?

33lbs and still gaining ...

MATERNITY CLOTHES?

Yes, but I've been wearing the same outfits every week because, at this point, it's not about looking cute; it's about being comfy. 

SLEEP?

NOPE! I am currently sleeping in my husband's old recliner located in his office. It's so sad. I am ALWAYS tired!

BEST MOMENT THIS WEEK?

Coming home from work and seeing Sebastian run up to me with his arms out. It seriously brought me to tears.

SYMPTOMS?

Headaches. Cramps. I can't breath! Pretty uncomfortable over all. Sore ankles. My back is F! Getting up from the floor is nearly impossible.  

FOOD CRAVINGS?

Nothing really; just water. Nothing sounds good lately.

FOOD AVERSIONS?

Pasta. Who knew?!

BABY'S GENDER?

Little baby girl.

LABOR SIGNS?

A little bit of cramping in my back and my front. That's it.

BELLY BUTTON: IN OR OUT?

Still in and a few more stretch marks.

WHAT I MISS?

Mostly, I miss being able to move around comfortably. I'm tired of being pregnant and want my body back. Sleeping in the same bed as my husband.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO?

I'm really looking forward to seeing Gigi, and I'm interested in how Sebastian will react. 

MILESTONES?

Keeping track of baby's movements and movement patterns. I love feeling her move. 

BUMP?

Ohhhh yea! It's a big ole basketball, and I'm carrying pretty low.

Anyways, I can't wait for Gigi, and I can't wait to see my kids grow up together! She's going to be the biggest little blessing. We are so excited to meet her.
