How Big is E: About 6 - 6.5 lbs! We'll get a better estimate at the docs today! Could be my LAST sonogram!
Symptoms: Contractions- I had awhile on Sunday where my contractions were between 3-8 minutes apart for about 4 hours. It made me a little bit nervous, but all and all, I was fine. Having many contractions a day but nothing different than I am used to!
Pain down my right leg, I can tell she must be hitting a nerve or something because it happens when she moves a certain way, just for a second.
Sleepy, weak and tired! It's hard caring for a family, being pregnant and trying to get everything prepared and done all day, every day.
Weight Gain: Well I'll be getting it checked today at the OB! At least somewhere around 157 lbs...ekk!
Emotions: Ok, getting so anxious and nervous, but so super excited that every day that passes is one more day closer to meeting E! Then that's when the roller coaster of emotions begin! Still having such a hard time dealing with leaving my girls while I am in the hospital, hating that so much. It's beyond painful for me but I know they will be in great hands and fine, it's just me with the emotions of it all.
Movement: All day, every day! She moves constantly. She jabs me all of the time and is sticking out her limbs from each side of my body constantly. I love feeling her move and cherishing every moment of it. She still gets the hiccups all of the time.
Best Moment of the Week: Knowing my body is preparing for labor, or at least trying to. SO exciting. I feel like in some ways there are so many firsts with this baby, which I have written about before! And I am so excited and giddy over.
Maternity Clothes: Of course. Pj's are the only thing I wear most days unless I am leaving the house.
Stretchmarks: Just the same ones from the girls.
Sleep: Sleep is actually not going to well. Surprisingly now that I CAN sleep through the night, I can't fall asleep until after midnight. Still get the best sleep in the morning, until I wake the girls up at 9AM.
Food Cravings: Anything. Pork and sour kraut! Loving on that right now! My sister brought me a dozen chocolate glazed Krispie Kreme doughnuts yesterday
Aversions: Cream based foods.
Gender: A Little Miss!
What I Miss: WINE!
What I am Looking Forward to: My birthday and a LOOOONG overdue date night with my hubby! Also, my OB appointment on Thursday to see if I am more dilated and another sonogram of E! And of course hoping to go into labor soon!!!
And here I am at 36 weeks and 4 days:
You look so good momma! I know you are getting so anxious to meet little miss E!
