How far along: 36 Weeks
Size of baby: Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of her first bowel movement.
Weight gain: 31 lbs
Maternity clothes: mostly all maternity clothes besides some shirts/dresses
Gender: Girl!
Movement: Yes, love feeling her move - and quite funny watching my stomach move like crazy!
Sleep: Not sleeping that great..but its manageable!
Symptoms: Back pain, swollen feet, hands and face...
Cravings: Cold water. I have always usually preferred room temperature water but lately I prefer super cold water, and as always - Sweets!!
Best Moment this week: celebrating my niece's 2nd birthday! She is just a hoot!
What I am looking forward to: I am getting my stitches out on Tuesday the 16th - Cant believe we are to this point!!
