Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 36 Weeks
Size of baby: Little one is almost 6 pounds and over 18 1/2 inches head to heel, about the size (weight) of a crenshaw melon.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained about 32 pounds. I seem to be leveling off a bit these last two weeks.
Maternity Clothes: I am pretty much wearing all maternity clothes. I don't have a ton of them so that is why you see them all repeated on here. I have finally found a couple of pairs of shorts that will suffice. I am loving dresses right now and have some non-maternity dresses and some maternity dresses of my own and a few on loan. So comfy!
Gender: It's a girl! Mary Isabelle (see this post about her name)
Movement: You can watch my abdomen shift around when she's busy... and she's busy a lot these days! She gets the hiccups usually 2-3 times a day. They are getting stronger and are good because that means she's swallowing okay and practicing her breathing. Her pokes, jabs, and kicks have gotten stronger- she likes to stretch out into my side with her feet. She's been stretching a lot lately- I guess she's getting in all of her chances while she can! She found my ribs with her feet the other day- ouch!
Sleep: Both of my hips are sore when I sleep on either side for more than a few hours. It is increasingly hard to get comfortable and I find that I don't sleep so great anymore. I guess I'm being prepared for the nights ahead once she's born.
What I miss: Sleeping on my back! I cannot wait to lay flat again!
Cravings: I cannot get enough apples these days. Throw in some caramel dip and it's heaven!
Symptoms: Oh the heartburn! Zantac is still my best friend. If it's true what they say- that heartburn in pregnancy means the baby will have hair then this child is destined to have a head full! I have puffy feet and ankles that are a mainstay now- although some days are better than others. My hips and pelvic bones are sore and getting themselves in shape for birth- but that alone is partly what is making it so hard to sleep. But we're in the home stretch and it'll be over soon.
Does she look a little lower to you this week or is it just me?

I think she is a little lower this week, by looking at your hands. Yay! Mary, your Mimi has to get the bassinet finished this week and a few more little things too... Should have all those complete by the weekend.
Cute tops!!
