How far along: 36 weeks
Size: Honeydew
Size: Honeydew
Gender: Confirmed today she is still 100% GIRL!
Fun Fact: She's measuring 5lbs 5oz on the ultrasound! She's actually fallen off her growth curve. She went from being in the 30th percentile down to 18th percentile :/ She's going to be a little peanut! And make her debut sooner than expected :)
Symptoms: Exhaustion, tired feet, an even bigger belly, and lots of Braxton Hicks contractions in the afternoons and evenings

Weight Gain: 25 lbs.
Maternity clothes: Yea, I had to go buy even bigger maternity tops cause my others are too small and tight. I remember in the beginning of pregnancy I was so excited to get to wear maternity clothes and sport a baby bump. Now I can't wait to wear my normal clothes and go shopping at my fav stores again! I see many shopping trips with baby girl this summer :)

Stretch marks: Nope
Belly button in or out: Oh it's out and lookin funny. I've even tried "flattening" it out by putting a band-aid over top of it...ya doesn't work anymore.
Sleep: Not too bad this week. Still using lots of pillows and turning from side to side several times a night.
Best moment this week: Seeing baby girl on the ultrasound this week! Always makes me so excited to see her and knowing she'll be here so soon!
Worst moment this week: Long 12 hour days at work suuuuuck. Thank god for my amazing husband. He cleans, cooks, does laundry, etc. It is SO nice to come home after a 12 hour shift, exhausted, and have candles lit and dinner on the table waiting for me. Jealous huh? Well, you should be ;)
We also found out this week that baby girl just isn't growing like she should be and my doctor's thinking about inducing me next week! With her drop off the growth curve, it'll be safer for her to be on the outside rather than inside. So after my growth scan next Wednesday we'll most likely be headed to the hospital for induction! My doctor said she was "99% sure we'll be headed to the hospital" and to "come with our bags packed". That sounds pretty sure to me. I'll atleast be considered full-term then at 37 weeks. I know she'll be little, and I know the complications associated with that (damn postpartum nurse brain), but I just keep praying that she'll come out healthy and thriving! It was quite a shock when we found all this out the other day but I've come to accept it and now I'm getting very excited that I could be meeting my little girl in just a few short days!

Miss anything: Laying on my stomach and back
Movement: Yep! Her little legs and feet are still off to my right side and kick all the time. Her booty is still near my belly button and head down. I had an NST this morning to make sure she's moving OK and she's getting enough oxygen and everything went well! Phew.
Cravings: Nothing in particular. Still loving everything bad for me!
Queasy or sick: Nope
Looking forward to: My amazing co-workers are throwing me a baby shower next week so I'm pretty stoked for that and of course, baby girl's arrival! Eeeek!
