36 weeks

November 6, 2012
how far along: 36 weeks...only 4 weeks until original due date!!! (only 1 week left until she is full-term!)
Madelyn’s size: somewhere between 17.2-18.7 inches, 4.2-5.8  (She weighed 5 lbs. 5 oz. at our appointment 2 weeks ago)… about the size of a honeydew melon
weight gain: 3 pound this week, 36 pounds total (I have officially exceeded my weight gain goal :/...not super happy about that)
maternity clothes: Yes
stretch marks: None
sleep: Finding it difficult to sleep through the night due to waking up to go to the bathroom and difficulty getting/staying comfortable
best moment this week: No longer being on bed rest as of today and making it to one week away from full-term
food cravings: mint chocolate chip ice cream
symptoms: Reflux/heartburn (but not as bad), more frequent Braxton Hicks contractions, edema, overly emotional
gender: Precious baby girl!
belly button in or out: Out!
movement: Still rolling around, punching/kicking/head-butting, sticking her booty out, poking me
what I miss:  Being comfortable and being able to move around easily
what I'm looking forward to: My appointment on Friday!  We're having another growth ultrasound, so we'll get to see her again!  Meeting Madelyn very soon!!!

  1. You are so close! You are glowing. I have the same issue with the weight gain but I guess we can worry about that after Baby is born. Yay for another ultrasound. Those are so fun!
