36 weeks

36w, 3 days. Sorry for the filthy mirror. =(

How far along?: 36 weeks. Yep, it's totally, totally insane at this point. We have less then 30 days
until my due date & I still have so much to do/get for him. Oi, I think I am in denial about the lack of time at this point. And I also expect him to be late so I'm planning on having MORE time, uh...let's hope he doesn't decide to surprise us by coming early. At least I started washing clothing/baby items, right? Ask me in a few weeks if I've packed for the hospital, installed the car seat base or put the rock n' play together....

How big is Holden?: According to my WTE app, he is STILL approximately 19-22 inches long, about 6.5 pounds & the size of a watermelon. The Bump says that he is STILL approximately 17.2-18.7 inches long,  STILL 4.2-5.8 pounds & is the size of a honeydew melon. At least they are both in the melon family, right? lol

Total weight gain/loss: +37 pounds. Yep, somehow down a pound & not going to complain about it! lol It's probably because I have been cooking/eating at home more this last week.

Maternity clothes?: Yes & even some of them are getting uncomfortable at this point. Scrubs? Ha! Impossible at this point. I have one top that fits. It's been lots of t-shirts at work lately. It's a good thing I only have 12 or so days left (unsure about when I'm putting in my two weeks).

Symptoms: My feet are still swelling, but it hasn't been as bad as last week, thankfully. The end of the day on the hotter days is obviously still the worst, but we're dealing & I'm trying to make myself sit a bit more. Frequent urination is still happening & I'm still exhausted, but otherwise things are good. I've had a few bouts of nausea, but nothing too terrible. Also, still good with both the heartburn & back pain at this point. =) My belly is getting a tad bit unweildly & awkward at this point which makes having to bend over not so fun.

Stretch marks?: Lois and her plus 1. Fortunately, most of the time they are barely noticeable & light. I'm glad that they aren't dark & scary & huge! My scar from my old belly piercing is stretching out & that sure looks weird this time around! lol

Sleep: So tired that it's not even funny & I was right about not getting a nap...unfortunately. =( It's definitely going to be at least another week before I'm able to nap & that's only if C decides to nap. Bah! Yesterday he decided that he didn't need one until we got in the car at 5PM. Lovely, right? I hope this isn't the end of napping because I will REALLY need a nap during the day when Holden comes.

Movement: Constantly during the day now! He never seems to stop some days & it is quite uncomfortable for me. He literally hates when I sit down & will kick the crap outta me until I stand up or slouch for him. lol I have the worst posture EVER right now. Thankfully he does seem to actually be sleeping at night now. Yay!

Food cravings: Still no. I guess I am just not the craving type when pregnant. If we have a third I guess I'll know for sure.

Gender: Baby Boy

Names: Holden Thomas (Brother)

Labor Signs: Just regular BH contractions.Yep, nothing else new to add.

Belly Button in or out?: Still technically in, but it is *almost* flat. We shall see.--Yep, still this!

What I miss: Naps!! And being able to sit down comfortably. Bah!

What I am looking forward to: We still need to get the last few things settled for Holden, but the JBF sale is this next week so I am looking forward to *hopefully* picking up some stuff during that. At least one of the big items on my list would be amazing. =)

Best Moment this Week: My camera is dun-zo! Which does not sound like it would be best moment of the week, but I scored a new (improved!) camera on clearance that typically retails for around $200 for $130 (since it was the very last one & the display model). I'm excited to see what this new updated camera can do & I am just thrilled that we won't be without a camera when Holden arrives.

Milestones this week: Uh....I started actually getting our room set-up & clothing, blankets, burp cloths, ect washed & ready. Does that count? lol
