So my “weekly update” will probably combine weeks 36 and 37 this time. Oops!
–
36 weeks, 5 days
Size of baby: Watermelon (19-22 inches, around 6.5 lbs)
Newly craved food: Ghirardelli Caramel Turtle Brownies, Grapes, Pineapple
Food aversions: Beef, fried foods
What do you miss? Sleeping through the night, walking without waddling.
What are you looking forward to? My next appointment on Wednesday to see how dilated I am! Last Tuesday, I was at 1cm.
What was the BEST part of last week? Last week Sunday, our friends threw us a baby shower! It was super sweet and fun, and we got some sweet stuff for Baby C. Yesterday, Hubster and I spent the day together…perhaps our last full day together as a family of 2? We went out to lunch, shopping around town, and went for a walk because the weather was BEAUTIFUL yesterday.
What was the WORST part of last week? The cramping and contractions are getting more frequent and intense.
It's a little blurry, but the best of the 10 attempts!
Carrying a watermelon around inside your belly has got to feel awkward and uncomfortable…especially when he moves! I’m so excited for you both! I think I’m finally grasping that my youngest niece is going to be a mom…and I get to be “auntie” to NINE great nieces and nephews! How excited we are!
Once C arrives I’ll be waiting for news when I can come and see him. Aunt Desty & I want to make a trip up, perhaps bringing Grandma Jo. Of course, we’ll stay in a hotel!
