36 wks 4 days.

How far along: 36 wks 4 days

How Big: She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long

Weight Gain: I've managed to stay between 8.5 and 9.5.. i'm liking this.. if i could stay under 15 that would be AmAzInG..

Stretch Marks: yup..

Maternity Clothes: I officially hate maternity pants, there sooo ugly and i honestly cannot wait to get out of them.. BlAh!!

Sleep: Its on and off... i can't sleep in anymore thats for sure.. i'm usually up by 8 or 9 on the weekends.. i don't think bradon is enjoying that =)

Best Moment this Week: It was new years, and my birthday.. So lots of fun with friends and family..

Food Cravings: i made some amazing chocolate chip cookeis and i really cant stop eating them..

Food dislikes: it changes daily

Gender: My princess B

Movement: Yes, i can still feel her moving..

What I miss: Normal clothes.. freak maternity clothes are ugly!! haha

Belly Button: Still the same.. i thought it would have popped by now, but still nothing..

What I am looking forward to: Tommorrow!! i get a ultra sound to check her positioning and there doing my first internal exam, a little nervous for that but it will be the start of knowing where i'm at with her coming..

Milestone: She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of her first bowel movement.

At the end of this week, your baby will be considered full-term. (Full-term is 37 to 42 weeks; babies born before 37 weeks are pre-term and those born after 42 are post-term.) Most likely she's in a head-down position. But if she isn't, your practitioner may suggest scheduling an "external cephalic version," which is a fancy way of saying she'll try to coax your baby into a head-down position by manipulating her from the outside of your belly.
