Baby #2 - 36 Weeks

• How far along: 36 weeks
• Size of baby: measures about 17-19 inches — about the size of a honeydew melon and weighs 5-6 pounds
• Total Weight Gain: 26 pounds
• Maternity Clothes: Mainly dresses and maternity jeans with tops.
• Gender: We are having a BOY!
• Sleep: Sleep good although he does seem to move more at night.
• Cravings: Chocolate and anything sweet. Water in the middle of the night.
• Anything making you queasy or sick?  Powder scented stuff (I can't stand powder scented deodorant) and any strong scents (although I think this is getting slightly better).
• Best moment this week: Spending lots of time playing with our little girl and finishing up a few things for the baby (installed the car seat and put a new swing together).
• What I miss most: Sitting up quickly and putting shoes on (thank goodness I wear heals most of the time...they require no bending to put on).
• Symptoms: Nesting.   Braxton hicks contractions.
• What I'm looking forward to: Seeing how he is sitting this week.  I can't believe we are nearing the end of this pregnancy. So excited to meet this little guy.
• Movement: He kicks most often at night and his head seems to stay right under my ribs.
