Wow
36 weeks! So exciting! We are approximately 3 weeks away from meeting Baby P! I
can’t believe we’re so close!
And I’m not exactly ready
(insert bug-eyed emoji here)… I need to get the nursery finished (it looks like
a tornado hit) and I need to pack my hospital bag. Oh and install the car seat.
Get a video monitor and stroller. Get a haircut.
Anything else I need to
do??
How far along: 36 weeks
Size of Baby: a large cantaloupe / 6lbs
Gender: Baby P is all girl (at least that’s what the last 3 ultrasounds
have told us, fingers crossed!)
Symptoms: My hips have started to hurt a lot. My hubby was
apparently paying more attention in our prenatal class because he informed me
that this is about the time my hips start to move to make room for her head to
drop. As if my waddle wasn’t bad enough.
Stretch marks: I found a new one last night L
Sleep: I can still sleep pretty good for the most
part but the sore hips and constant bathroom trips mean I am not quite as
rested as I could be.
Husband: picked her coming home outfit. It has adorable
white and purple socks. He did oh so good.
Belly Button: in and pretty sure staying there.
Movement: Most movement I have ever felt! But still soooo shy. Every time I put a hand
to my belly she stops so there is no chance whatsoever that my husband is going
to feel her.
Cravings: I have a new one – McCain Deep n’ Delicious
Marble Cake. Yes I am talking about that 90’s deliciousness that stoners would
buy from 7-11 when they got the munchies on Friday night. While grocery
shopping one day we ended up in front of them and I had to have one. Then a
second one when that was gone. And yes I totally have a third in my freezer. I
will say that I am very restrained and only have one piece a day. No clue how I
am managing that but I am so yay me.
Maternity Clothes: I am officially over my clothes.
Best part of the week:
1) I met up with another
momma-to-be I met at prenatal class on Monday (turns out our hubbies graduated
high school together and we are both having girls about 3 weeks apart) and we
went for a long walk with Milo and then lunch on one of my favourite patios. We
got along right away and it feels great to have a new friend going through the
same thing as me at the same time.
2) Taking Monday and Friday
off this week and next!
Worst part of the week: coming back to work on
Tuesday. I am done. But I officially have only 4 days left before I am off on
maternity leave. For a year. With a brand new baby. Whaaat?
Missing most: alcohol.
I’m sorry this never changes but I would really love to hang out in the sun and
have a few beers or ciders or glasses of wine. Let loose and be silly. Drink a
couple margaritas and get the happy tequila feeling.
Looking forward to: meeting our baby girl –
SO SOON!
Happy Hump Day!
