36 weeks!

Here we are at 36 weeks and officially 9 months pregnant! After just one more week Madelyn will be considered "full term" and could be here anytime after that, WOW! However with first babies though I'm not expecting for anything to happen too sooon although it would be nice to get to meet her soon! If she's anything like her mom then being on time is considered late, so who knows? :) Below is a picture at 36 weeks. Ignore my purple polka dot sleep shorts please. Below is a picture of what my legs/ankles look like when I took off my shoes and socks the other day...At least I can still see my ankle bones but ouch! The rings from my socks weren't too comfy! Thankfully the weather is turing warmer and I haven't had to wear socks to school for the past two days so I think that has helped for sure!

A few fun stats/facts for this week:

How far along? 36 weeks!

Weight gain/loss: Up 24.5 lbs

Maternity clothes? Yep. My new favorite item is a loooong white tank top from Target. I wear it under everything.

Sleep? I probably get up twice a night to go to the bathroom most nights.

Best moment this week? Knowing that Madelyn is growing away in there thanks to another u/s that was done on Friday. (See the post below)

Movement: Madelyn is getting strong! Sometimes her kicks make me gasp if they catch me off guard!

Food cravings: Cereal. MMMmmm. Chocolate Cheerios, Fruity Pebbles, any cereal really

Gender: Girl

Belly button in or out? Halfsies. The top is out. The bottom is still in.

What I miss? Rolling over without having to think about it

What I am looking forward to? Our baby shower at Aunt Fuss's house is on Saturday!

Weekly wisdom: From one of my students: "29 days left!?! Aaaah, I'm scared!" Haha, don't know how much wisdom there is behind that but it was funny.

Milestones: One more week until Madelyn is "full term"!
