36 weeks

Baby is now the size of a: Honeydew, according to the fruit comparison chart. Not sure how accurate that is! At Thursday's growth scan, she was estimated at 5.4lbs, which is still petite - in the 25th percentile - but healthy.

Total weight gain: I don't even look at the scale anymore.

Maternity clothes: Some. Today I actually broke my bed rest rule and tried some maternity shorts on at the mall, just because they were on sale. I do not recommend viewing yourself in a three-way mirror when 9 months pregnant.

Sleep: Ehhhhh sleep is going ok. As good as I can hope for at this point!

Gender: Girl

Movement: She doesn't seem to be slowing down, as I've heard babies start to do around 35 weeks. That's just fine with me!

Food cravings: Today I am craving rice krispies treats!

(Yummmm)

What I miss: Although I am truly so thankful to be pregnant, I am finding myself missing my pre-pregnany body more and more. I spent about an hour yesterday just browsing the J Crew site, planning what to buy once I'm looking more like myself again!

(Horizontal stripes!)

What I'm looking forward to: Being done with bed rest! I just have to make it to Friday!

Milestones: Getting to 36 weeks is a huge milestone. I feel SO relieved and happy and grateful to be here!

Symptoms: Big heavy baby belly, peeing all of the time, lots of contractions, loss of muscous plug, fatigue.
