36 Week- 1 month left!!

How far along? 36 weeks

Total weight gain:  30 lbs- I'm about done putting it on! Can't wait to go for a run. 
Maternity clothes? Yes, got a few "about to pop" outfits at Target for the next month. 
Stretch marks? nope
Sleep: I've heard about pregnancy insomnia before and it's the real deal... I'm gradually finding out things that help- like sleeping on the couch, watching The Office on my phone until I doze off, eating a middle of the night snack, sometimes my snack is just 5 Tums and that helps.. 
Best moment this week: Had a prenatal massage that was crazy good. Best part was being able to lay on my stomach!  Also, saw little guy sucking his hand at our doctors visit. He's pretty cute already. 
Miss Anything? Shopping for "regular" clothes, being able to pick things up, lots of little stuff- honestly, just trying to enjoy having him in there for the rest of the time since I'm sure it will feel like something's missing when he's not there!
Movement? Lots of hiccups. For the most part, I haven't felt him very high at all- it's like he keeps his legs balled up and doesn't stretch them out too much, but today I felt the weirdest thing- it was like he was kicking off the top of my belly near my ribs and like bouncing on it! Crazy boy. : )
Food cravings: Ice, Trail Mix (except it seems as though I just pick out the dried fruit), Salads (particularly ones with berries in them- like Zuppas Nuts about Berries salad- I have wanted to go get one everyday this week), peanut butter on bagels. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: not really! 
Gender: boy
Labor Signs: nope. I hope he's at least thinking about packing his things and getting ready to meet us!
Symptoms: heartburn has gotten lots better since I started Zantac, I just have to remember to take it which is hard with my scatterbrain. Like I mentioned, sleep is becoming very difficult both physically and mentally. Sore feet- all.the.time. (Have been doing Epsom Salt foot bath's everyday- it's really been helping!)
Belly Button in or out? It's definitely still on the "out" side of the spectrum, but my belly has finally caught up with it and it's not noticeable through shirts anymore which is very nice : )
Wedding rings on or off? I feel bad I haven't been wearing them much. : (
Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty evenly tempered the last week or so! Just getting really nervous! Oh, and I cried in Target today because they discontinued the raspberry strips I'm addicted to. But seriously, WTF Target!? Not ok. 

Nursery: DONE-ish! I'm glad we got an early start on the nursery back in February because the last two months we have been slacking BIG TIME! But, I'm happy to say we got it to a point where we were happy taking pictures and showing everyone! : )

Ta-Da!

34 Weeks

How far along? 34 Weeks

Total weight gain:  28lbs

Maternity clothes? sometimes i try to wear non maternity things and it lasts about 5 minutes.

Stretch marks? nope. i scratched my belly a few days ago and when I got a glimpse of the purple marks my scratching left I freaked out thinking they were stretch marks! 

Sleep: not much deep sleep. every little noise seems to make me wake up-which is not like me at all! 

Best moment this week: we had our childbirth class yesterday. It was a long day, but it was fun being with a bunch of people going through the same thing as we are, and it made me grateful to have Eric- I know he'll be able to help me get through labor!

Miss Anything? nope not really! I am looking forward to getting back in shape though!

Movement? yeah there's no ignoring it when he's dancing around in there! & hiccups every few days.

Food cravings: ice :) i heard that it could be a sign of iron deficiency but my doc says I'm all good! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: nope

Gender: boy

Labor Signs: I've had the occasional "practice" contraction, or braxton hicks whatever you want to call them, but it's only happened maybe three times which is normal at this point. It's usually when I've been doing lots of walking. 

Symptoms: not feeling too horrible the last few days. I started taking OTC Zantac for my heartburn and it's helped a little. Still uncomfortable/heavy feeling a lot but I think i'm just getting used to it. My hips haven't been as bad the last week though!

Belly Button in or out? out

Wedding rings on or off? I can wear both in the morning but by the end of the day they are basically stuck on  

Happy or Moody most of the time: very happy! but much more emotional than I normally am.

Baby Gear:  we have just about everything that we need and then some! we have been slacking getting the finishing touches done on the nursery though.
