36 Weeks

How far along? 36 weeks
Total Weight Gain? 29lbs
Stretch Marks? nothing new
Sleep: Nolan’s wake ups are pretty much every other day now, but are shorter. Stella has occasional wake ups. When I am not up with them (and when I am) I need to go to the bathroom and drink. I also have had a great deal of heart burn and contractions at night.
Best Moment this Week: Nolan was leaving for school and I said “Bye Noley!” and he turned, looked me in the eyes, waved, and said bye. OMG it was amazing.
* Taking the time to get my hair cut colored and highlighted for pictures.
* Seeing baby on the ultrasound (baby REFUSED to show us it’s face.) was awesome. Baby has “lots of hair–all those white wisps are floating pieces of hair.”
Miss Anything? comfort
Movement: Still tons.
Food Craving? nothing really
Anything making you queasy or sick? I have had quite a few bouts of nausea come up randomly.
Bellybutton in our out? umm flat–pulled taught.
Wedding Rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time? Moody. I have a lot of my anxieties with Nolan, being home, finding my place/role, etc. This stay at home mom and post diagnosis stuff I have been feeling isn’t better this week.
Looking forward to? meeting this sweet babe
Labor Signs? I have dropped, have back pain, have contractions, going to the bathroom more often, etc. I would say I have many of them.
Anything Else? On the way home from the doctor, I was sucking on a mint because I was super nauseous. I inhaled my minty spit and my throat closed up and I just started choking. Alex had to pull over to see if I was ok. I was able to take a breath and we could continue home, but not before scaring him half to death and him grounding me from mint consumption without supervision.

Nolan was 40 weeks.
