Here's a little update on Mommy and Big-head. We are 36-weeks today! ;) This week I will start having weekly doctor's appointments until Big-head arrives. I'm still doing GREAT and have a lot of energy. I'm starting to get a little more tired, but not nearly as bad as the first trimester.
How far along? 36 weeks
Stretch marks? I think there may be some on my side/back/hips area...but I can't tell if they are new or old ones from puberty...?
Sleep: I'm starting to get frustrated that I cannot sleep on my stomach anymore. It normally takes me some time to get comfortable, but when that finally happens I sleep really well! Hooray!
Best moments this week: Having a "Babymoon" with my Honey Bunny! Saturday we went golfing on a REAL golf course and we got to drive a golf cart around. It was really fun! We're definitely pros now! Sunday we had Church and a relaxing afternoon together playing cards. Monday we played tennis and did odd jobs around the house together (hair cuts, transplanting herbs for my container garden, baking cookies, etc.) then we went to some friends' house for a game day, then we ended the weekend with an outing to an LSU vs. BYU soccer game. BYU won 4-2!!
Movement: Big-head is still rather active even though it's getting cramped in there. (S)He is responding to touch, voices, movement, and food! At my appointment last week, Bethanie said that the baby has moved head down (so getting ready!)...but I still feel a lot of feet in my right side under my ribs (hooray for a long torso!). She said next week at my appointment we'll do an ultrasound to confirm that the baby has moved into position and find out where the placenta is located.
Nursery: I finished the crib skirt! Yea!!! My Mom said she just bought us a new crib and wants to give the old one back to my sister since she is pregnant with her second (the crib was originally her first child's).
Food cravings: No cravings. Been eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. Butternut squash, lima beans, celery, grapes, papaya, etc. Drinking ice water constantly and running to the bathroom just as often since Big-head is putting more pressure on my bladder.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Symptoms: Are hang nails a symptom of pregnancy?!?! Because I have a new one on each finger almost everyday! It's so annoying!
Wedding rings on or off? Mostly on. My fingers swell off and on. And so do my feet!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!!
Looking forward to: Getting my house cleaned after a fun weekend and heading to Mom's to do maternity pictures.
Recent thoughts: I'm excited to be a Mommy--overwhelmingly so! I am getting anxious to meet our little Big-head and see what (s)he looks like and to hold/touch the little feet that kick me so often! I want to cuddle our baby and sing, read, feed, play, talk to him/her! Xave is also very excited and keeps trying to coax Big-head to hurry up and "get out of there!"
