36 Weeks

•How far along are you?  36 Weeks!  I still can't believe I finally made it to this week!

•How big is baby?: Look at my belly! He's a big boy!

•Maternity clothes: All maternity clothes.

•Gender: BOY!! Evan Michael Baxter.

•Sleep?: I'm not sleeping well at all. Either I can't fall asleep or I fall asleep easily, but am wide awake around 5:00 or 6:00.  And I'm still getting up every 2-3 hours to pee.  It also doesn't help that for the last week or so, Em has been waking up around 4:30 each morning.  :(

•Best moment this week?: Is there any doubt about my answer on this one?  Getting off bedrest!!!!!

•Movement?: It's still slowing down a bit.  When he does move, it's really uncomfortable.  He just feels so low.

•Food cravings?: Still fruit and popsicles.  Shawn cut up a pineapple and a bunch of strawberries this weekend and I can't get enough of them!

•Food aversions?: None really anymore.

•What I miss: Being comfortable, sleeping well, not feeling huge!!

•Symptoms: Just being super uncomfortable, contractions, back pain,  peeing constantly, heartburn, and in the last couple of days there have been a few times where I get a shooting pain down my legs.

•Milestone:  Finally making it to 36 weeks!!  My dr. won't stop labor from this point on.  If he's on the same time table as Em was, that would mean he'd be here in exactly 1 week.  Oh how I hope, he has the same plan!!

And just for comparison, here's a picture of me with Em at 36 weeks. 

Me with Evan at 36 weeks.  It definitely looks bigger to me!

And of course Em had to participate too and take her belly pics.  She decided to do a few different poses this time too.
