36 Weeks
Both of these pictures are from this weekend. It could be where I am standing in the room compared to the mirror but holy smokes it looks like I grew overnight!
How far
along? 36.5Weeks
Total weight gain: According to my OBGYN, I’ve only
gained 21lbs as of Friday. My goal has
been to stay under 30lbs gained. We’ll
see how the end goes. Gabe is just a
bigger boy than Wyatt was. J
Maternity clothes? Absolutely. And as
much as possible, I am wearing yoga pants.
J
Stretch marks? Nope. Praise be to
God!
Sleep: Dear Pregnancy Insomnia, You are not
welcome. I dislike you, A LOT. Regards, Casey
Yeah, so that
started happening. Along with some restless
leg syndrome. And with that comes muscle
cramping. That didn’t happen with Wyatt
either.
Best moment this
week: Seeing Gabe NOT
breech! We are praising the Lord for
allowing him to flip into position. Now
praying he stays that way. J
I had a friend
point out that we don’t know if I will ever get to feel a baby move inside me
again so it hit home. I might not. And actually, I most likely will not. We will just have to see what God has in
store for us. Love that I don’t have to worry about it, He just knows. J I am also trying to
take in as much time with Wyatt as possible.
He’s only got a few weeks of being my one and only left.
Miss Anything?
Comfort. LOL. I
would like to go a day without back pain.
That would be great!
Movement: I’ve mentioned before that Gabe is
ACTIVE. Wyatt was too but it’s SO
different. Wyatt was more of a light
movement frequently. Gabe’s moves are
powerful! I totally LOVE feeing him move.
It’s awesome but it can be so much and so powerful that sometimes I feel
a little sick. I think it’s a good
problem to have.
Food cravings: I’m loving food the first half of
the day. Any food really. I have also been wanting to chew on ice. That’s not normally me.
Anything making you
queasy or sick: Not really.
Gender: It’s still a boy!
Symptoms: Just Braxton hicks and him getting
up into my ribs. Tells me he is growing
and getting ready. J My doctor cut the cerclage out on Friday and I
was dilated 1cm. So, it begins. I know I can stay a 1 for a while… I have a
feeling I won’t make it to our due date.
J
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? It’s a little fitted
so it’s off.
Happy or Moody most of the time:
Happy.
Looking forward to: Holding sweet Gabe!
So, I've got some big updates on Wyatt but that will have to be it's own blog. We've had a busy beginning of the year...
In the meantime, here are some pictures. :-)
Wyatt had the honor of being in one of his NICU primary nurses' wedding. He did a good job walking down the isle. He made it without falling or crying. :-) |
So glad for all the happy news! Praying for an easy delivery!
