Week 36 - the FINAL stretch (we think)!!!




About ME:
Waist: 43.0 inches (Total growth 9.5 inches)
Weight: 161.8 lbs (Total increase 18.0 lbs)

It's looks like pregnancy is starting to wear on the eternal optimist! I've gone from Yes girl, to Maybe girl, to probably not going to happen girl.  Funny, how in just one week, you can really go from "I'm rocking this" to "baby, the time has come for you to move out".

The 3rd trimester insomnia and exhaustion have hit...plus, with that comes more pain and stiffness (thank goodness for YOGA).

On the bright-side, I can still shave my legs...see my ankles...eat regular meals...and even take Chukar for small walks.  I consider that a WIN at this point, as I know many ladies that were in much worse shape at this point.

About MONSTER:

Monster is about 18.75" long and weighs close to 5.75 lbs...or the "average" baby does at this time.  As for Monster, maybe we will find out more at this week's OB appt!

By the END of TUESDAY, i.e. Week 36, Monster will be considered FULL-TERM and he/she will be that much closer to meeting us in the outside world!

Planning for MONSTER:

It seems like everything we do now is with the "Monster is Coming" Mantra tattooed on our foreheads!  This weekend, we accomplished TWO huge things:

1. The Garage got cleaned out and everything stored in the attic that could.
2. We were able to clean the hardwoods downstairs and do a heavy fall cleaning.

SUCCESS!

We also were able to finish ONE wall of the nursery...it's coming together!


Plus, get MONSTER'S coming home outfit put together and packed!  Mom and Dad's bag is a work in progress.  NOTE: The headband is if he is a she...and the stocking hat if she is a he! Soon we will all know!
