36 Weeks

How far along? 36 weeks!
-How big is baby? 6 pounds and 18.5 inches long (that there's a whole lotta baybee!)
-Weight gain? Barking down the 30lbs tree at this point. Le sigh.
-Maternity clothes? I'm happy now if maternity clothes fit. Nick's side of the closet is getting more and more of my attention lately...
-Stretchies? Shhhhh, I've come so far...Let's not piss of the Gods of Stretch Marks by saying anything...
-Sleep? If tired counts, then yes, all the time. Actual, good ol' fashioned, restful sleep is a distant memory, though :(
-Movement? Still a crazy man in there. Now I can see little feet and hands bashing through my poor sides. Last night Nick and Eggmund got into a little battle...Nick would poke my belly and Eggmund would go NUTS rolling around in response. It was serious alien-esque sort of stomach rolling. Also, hiccups. Lots, and lots, and lots, and lots of hiccups...
-Food cravings? Wendy's Chocolate Frosty's. (Makes me think of my mom..."Wanna go 'shopping'?"
-Gender? Hopefully he's still got a set!
-Belly button in or out? The belly button is either flat or out, depending on Eggmund's placement. Nick was trying to poke it back in for me last night, but it never stayed shallow more than 30 seconds or so. Guess the turkey's done!
-What I miss? Having energy. Putting on my shoes without seeing stars. Working out. Being able to see my jayjay. Having identifiable ankles. Cold cut sammies.
- Milestones?  We are full term! Such a huge sigh of relief to know that no matter when Eggmund shows up from here on out he should be a-okay to go!
