How far along? 36 weeks, 4 weeks (more or less, hopefully less) to go!
Baby’s size: Around 6 pounds and about 19 inches.
My total chunk-o-meter: Lost weight this time, I’m down to 9 pounds gained. Total. I know, crazy!
Stretch marks? No, there is still lots of room in my skin. In fact, I was comparing myself now to when I was this far along with Derek and wow, I still don’t really have a belly. Here, just for comparison:
34 weeks with Derek
34 weeks with Mikenna
Belly button status? Innie. Still.
Counting sheep? Starting to. I find myself awake at like 3 am just laying there, thinking about stupid stuff. Like what goodies I’m going to make for Christmas. Or what needs to be done at work. Lots of unimportant bull shit going through my mind at the moment.
Best moment this month: Realizing that I only have 10 days of work left and 15 days until I’m on leave. Made my day!
Milestone: 36 weeks as of yesterday. If I go into labor now, please not, but if I did, I would be taking home a baby in a couple days. How crazy is that?
Honestly, I’m just ready to be done. Done with work, done thinking about stupid stuff, done thinking I need to do this and this and this and this and that before the baby comes but never actually doing any of it. Though I did mostly pack my hospital bag yesterday and I started getting the last stuff I really need, like a car seat and a new boppy. I just have a couple more items I need to get for my bag, like shampoo and conditioner and a hair brush and body wash and hair ties. Stuff I didn’t realize I needed last time but I know I’ll be wanting this time. So ready to be done with all of this. I really dislike being pregnant I’ve discovered and I’m really happy that we’ve come to the decision that this will be our last child.
