36 weeks...where has the time gone?!

How far along? Actually I'm typing this at 36 weeks 5 days

Total Weight Gain: 20 lbs and holding strong (fingers crossed)

Maternity Clothes: you're joking right? 

Best moment of this week: hitting the one month mark- scary and welcomed all at the same time

Miss Anything? This week, alcohol- specifically a peach bellini    

Movement: Pretty frequently too, but it's more of a pushing outward rather than a jab now and hiccups quite frequently too

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing that I can pinpoint, but every now and then I get a wave of nausea.

Gender: Boy 
Symptoms: Well, around 34 weeks I walked to and from the pool in 100 degree heat without my trusy water by my side and it kicked me right into labor...like contractions every 15/20 minutes for a couple of hours.  I waddled my way over to L&D and they hydrated me, but not before checking me- I was at a 1 and 20% effaced, so really nothing.  I still have braxton hicks all the time and crampy contractions, albeit not consistent, but I think this kid is in for the long haul.

Belly button in or out? I forgot I even had one.

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm going to say moody or maybe bi-polar would be more accurate- thanks hormones.  This weekend was a rough one with Remy and I had a mental breakdown thinking, how on earth are we going to do two; who are we kidding?!  Paul talked me down off the ledge but man, I do remember those mood swings and I did not miss them!  My poor husband- pray for him!

Looking forward to: A healthy baby.  Along with those mood swings, I can't seem to keep myself from thinking about the worst case scenario all.the.time!  I'm done nesting and now I'm trying to distract myself every waking moment by staying busy.  I'm praying earnestly and trying to trust Him to bring this to completion as it was the Lord himself that most definitely gifted this child to us.  At this point, I don't really even care how they take this baby out of me, I just want him to be healthy and whole.  

Now for a nursery preview: 

Hard to see, but it's a camping mobile that Paul and I made.
