36 Weeks - Baby #3

We had our 36 week checkup yesterday morning and everything looks great!

I can't wait to hold my baby boy or girl in 4 weeks or less!

(We didn't have any 36 week belly shots to compare for Lauren and Colton.)

Stats
How Far Along: 36 weeks

Dilation: 1 cm

Effacement: soft but Dr didn't give me a %

Baby's station: Still high and not engaged in the pelvis yet

Size of baby: Watermelon (19 to 22 inches long and about *6.5 lbs)

*probably a bit smaller than 6.5 pounds by the end of this week since both my babies were just under 7 lbs at birth (39 weeks)

Baby's Heart Rate: 149

Measurement: 36 cm

Blood Pressure: 108/76 (mine is always low)

Weight Gain: 0 pounds so a total of 21 pounds so far

Maternity Clothes: Um Yes!

Gender: It's a Surprise!

Movement: Poor guy or girl is running out of room!  Sometimes I bend over and think I hurt him/her because it hurt some organ on MY inside!

Sleep: Not great the last week.  I wake up often to either go to the bathroom or change positions because of my hips/acid reflux/heart burn but I would still consider this normal for someone at the stage I'm at.  My internal alarm clock wakes me up at about 5:30 or 5:45 each morning.

Symptoms: Acid Reflux and heart burn are still lingering and I'm still feeling some light cramps every once in a while.

What I miss: Being able to bend over or stand up normally...but this too shall pass!

Cravings: This last week it's been ice cream!

Best Moment this week: Feeling rolls instead of just kicks and guessing what body part that was that just hit my ribs, etc. 

What I am looking forward to: Seeing my baby for the first time!
