How far along? 36 Weeks
Baby Length: More than 18 1/2 inches long
Baby Weight: Almost 6 lbs (gaining an oz a day!)
Baby weighs as much as: A Crenshaw Melon?? Anyone??
Weight gain/loss: I was told I'd gain about a pound a week at this point in pregnancy, yet somehow I manage to exceed all expectations. Up about 3 lbs since last week and now clocking in at 29 lbs gained overall. Congrats to me!

Maternity clothes? Yes. Only. And even some of them are uncomfortable. Its a weird feeling to grow out of maternity clothes.
Stretch marks? Still keeping the tiger stripes at bay. I highly recommend Palmer's cocoa butter. I think its the richest, most moisturizing cream out there.
Sleeping? I sleep terribly. The heartburn and reflux haunts me all night now, and my belly aches at night so I do alot of tossing and turning. I am tired, but never nap during the day and seem to make it through every day without much sleep. Maybe this is my training for when the baby is here?
Best moment this week: Seeing all of my family in Nashville for my cousin Katie's wedding to Josh DeVier! It was a great time, and I got to be in the wedding in all of my pregnant glory :)
Miss anything? Drinking too much at a wedding....it was always a skill of mine.
Feel any movement? Yes Yes Yes. And the movements have started to hurt sometimes! No one ever tells you how strong these little things get inside of you, its bizarre! The baby loves to kick out my right side - like a few inches out - and up into my ribs. Our baby is seriously strong.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nausea has returned and it tends to come on unexpectedly and randomly. The good thing is that it usually doesn't last long and if I take a few deep breaths and close my eyes it tends to pass quickly.
Gender: Jake's still guessing girl. I'm still rooting for boy. As a solution I bought a hospital take home outfit with matching accessories for either outcome...thanks mom! ;)
Labor Signs: Really easily worn down and crampy from time to time but feeling pretty good!
Symptoms: My feet hurt all the time! They can't handle carrying my big butt around these days.
Belly Button? Out and Proud.
Wedding rings? So tight...I can't decide if I should just leave them on, or commit to leave them off until after the baby. I'm prone to swell.
Happy or Moody? I am irritable from time to time but starting to get excited about finally meeting our new addition to the family. The question is...where is this baby going to come home to? Here is the weekly bump shot and a few fun pics from the wedding.
