Weekly Wednesday Update 36/40
















How far along? 36 weeks
Sleep? Well after getting called out by my OB last week for taking too many Benadryl, that put the kabosh on my short-lived enjoyment of more than 3 hours of sleep.
Best moment this week? Finishing up our odds and ends. The nursery is complete (aside from hanging up pictures), the car seat is installed, the clothes have been washed, pacifiers sanitized, and we met the pediatricians. I am ready!
Movement: Squishy's still rolling around in there & I can feel him/her trying to stretch out. I don't know that he/she realizes it is running out of space in there.
Food cravings: Stupid ice, I have at least 4 cups a day at work.
Belly button in or out? Still in, the inside is flush (and has been for a few weeks now), so I'm assuming this is going to be the belly button status for the next few weeks.
What I miss? Aside from sleep & not having back pain? Wearing my engagement and wedding rings, I miss those little beauties.
What I am looking forward to? Squishy will be full-term on Monday!
Milestones: Squishy's almost 6lbs and over 18 1/2 inches long. His/her skin is getting smooth and soft, gums are rigid, liver and kidneys are in working order, and the circulation and immune system are basically good to go. Squishy's lungs are the only organs that still need to fully mature, but every day he/she gets a little closer to breathing.
What I'm nervous about: My water breaking in public.
