36.5 Weeks

Only a few days until I am full term with this baby boy!  All I can say is the last month of pregnancy isn't fun.  I'm starting to feel really tired again and have lots of aches, pains, and BH contractions.  He seems to be really active so that is good.  The specialist told me to be diligent about doing kick counts and luckily its always pretty easy. 

I had my first non-stress test today....kind of relaxing!  I get to lay in a recliner uninterrupted for at least 20 minutes listening to little boy's heartbeat.  He did great today on his test.  I had one really big contraction and he did great.  Moving and shaking the whole time with heart rate in the 150s.  I will go to the doctor on Mondays and Thursday until I deliver - Mondays I have a NST and an appointment and Thursdays I have a NST and a fluid ultrasound.  My doc said I would deliver sometime during my 39th week unless baby boy showed signs of stress before then. 

How far along?: 36 weeks 4 days
Total weight gain: 28 lbs.  Yikes!  5 lbs in two weeks??  Hopefully baby boy is accounting for at least some of that.  BP was up to 128/78 today too though....so fluid.....definitely all fluid ;)
How big is baby?: He weighed in at 5lbs at my ultrasound last week....so I'm guessing between 5 and 5.5 lbs.  Belly measured 34-35 centimeters today.
Maternity clothes?: Yes....and those are even starting to get uncomfortable.
Stretch marks?: Nope
Sleep?:  I'm getting pretty tired all the time, but still have insomnia sometimes in the middle of the night.
Best moment this week?:  Well, last week - having our perinatoloist appointment go as well as possible.  And my PUPPP rash is getting significantly better......strange.
Movement?: Still lots of movement.  That's good because the doc said if we don't get 10 kicks in 2 hrs max to go straight to the hospital :/
Food cravings?: Oh I don't know.  Lots of meat still does not sound appealing at all.
Labor signs?: Seems like lots of BH and some pain.
Belly button in or out?: Half and half
What I miss: Not feeling large and tired
What I'm looking forward to: Meeting this baby!
