I went to the Dr. yesterday. Everything looked great. I am measuring in at 36 weeks...yay! I had the strep test (ewww) and she checked my cervix for the first time....yow!!! I think I jumped off the table. That thing hurt! I guess I should probably get used to it. The Dr. said that my cervix was starting to soften but was still closed. I am pretty comfortable most of the day. Sometimes if I have been sitting for a while and then I have to walk somewhere, my ankles and calves feel tight. Is that normal? Sally is still moving a lot. I love watching my belly move....it's so crazy. I think I will miss feeling her in there all safe and warm. Joe got the car seat inspected today and the people at the hospital said he deserves "brownie points". I agree :)
*How far along?: 36 weeks=9 months...yikes!! Sally can come anytime she feel like...
*How big is your baby?: still a large cantaloupe...between 5.5 and 6lbs!
*Total weight gain?: 34 pounds...I have officially hit "that number" on the scale that I DID NOT want to hit!! Oh well....nothing to be done about it now. Luckily I have a plan of attack for getting the weight off!
*Sex: Sweet Girl!!
*Maternity clothes: I am literally dreaming of wearing regular cute clothes this spring/summer...I am loving all the new stuff at Target!
*Stretch marks: None yet.....knock on wood....maybe I wont get them.....
*Movement: I can watch my belly move...especially at night, which is very strange to me.

*Sleep: It's pretty bad. I wake up several times a night to pee and then usually get up when Joe gets up at 4:30....yuck!! It seems like when I am awake, it is hard for me to go back to sleep.
*Best moment this week: We had our last shower on Sunday and I had a massage on Monday that was heavenly..I literally drooled on the table...it was THAT good!
*Food cravings: Tangerines, pizza, chocolate
*Labor signs: The Dr. said that my cervix is starting to soften....

You look amazing and I LOVE the nursery! I can't wait to see the nursery reveal post!! Unless Sally comes before you're able to get it posted :)
You will miss that feeling in the belly...it's so neat at the time and annoying when you are trying to sleep but once you don't feel it anymore you miss it. And yep normal to feel all tight...that's just the swelling.
The glimpse of the nursery is too cute! Can't wait to see the rest! Take care and have a good weekend!
You look amazing!
So so exciting! You look GREAT!
Oh, we are getting SO close! After I had Brianna, I really missed feeling her moving inside of me. I even remember having sensations like she was still in there moving (weird, yes?) after she was born. I guess I would call them phantom kicks and rolls, haha! I wonder if I'll feel them this time, too?
You look so great and of course that nursery is gorgeous!!
I'm not looking forward to those cervical checks yikes! I even asked my OB yesterday when she would start so I could mentally prepare. ha!
Wow, how exciting to be so close! I'm also excited to see the rest of the nursery. Ha! I've seen that peanut thing once before. love it. :)
