How far along? 36 weeks! MONTH NINE! Bring it!
Total weight gain: 17 lbs
Maternity clothes? Clothes are ridiculous.
Stretch marks? You know it.
Sleep: I'm now getting up between 5 and 7 times a night to pee. Luckily the insomnia is only about one day a week.
Best moment this week: Blood sugar numbers are ok, but some things I used to eat are creating elevated numbers. My morning numbers are all nice and low, though. My mom, Grandma, sister and five month old niece arrive Wednesday to visit and for my shower on Saturday. Sunday hubs and I pick up the car seat.
Movement: Painful!
Food cravings: Carbs!
Gender: BOY
Labor signs: This morning was rough. I think the Mr. is dropping today or did drop. My pubic bone feels like it's splitting in half, all the pressure of the baby is in my lower abdomen, I have a hard time standing up from sitting or laying position. I started having BHs late this morning and they were pretty uncomfortable. I drank some water and went to lay down to see if they would stop. Got a bit nauseated and crampy. I fell asleep for a about 40 minutes and woke up to more contractions. I was able to get back to sleep for another 25 minutes and woke up feeling better. I had probably 2 more after lunch, but nothing this afternoon. I seriously got a little nervous for a few minutes there. YIKES!
Symptoms: Back pain, pubic bone pain, frequent urination, slightly swollen feet, darkened areola, tingly hands, waking up to leg cramps, lots of movement, rectal pressure
Belly button in or out? Almost flat
Wedding rings on or off? Only when I go out.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy today but really sore and uncomfortable.

| Comment from emmapeal9 » Posted Jun. 25, 2014 9:29am Not sure if doc will do an exam on Friday at my appt, but if I am dilated at all, it's solely from this weeks work. My sister and best friend have pinpointed July 11th or 12th for baby's birthday. We'll see if they're right. |
 | Comment from Mrs_HT » Posted Jun. 25, 2014 9:00am So lucky. When I went to the hospital, I was barley dialated and was only having one contraction every so often that I couldn't even feel. Lol you may end up beating me too the finish line! |
