36 Weeks

Total weight gain: Not sure.
Sleep: A little better than last week.
Best moment: Spending time with my family this past weekend and celebrating my mom's birthday.
Movement: I can tell exactly how you're positioned and you are still in the same position you've been in for a while, right anterior. I feel feet poking out of the left side of my belly a lot, hands down low and a little butt protruding from the right side.

Progress: I've already had a lot of people ask about how I'm progressing. My doctors/midwives don't do routine cervical checks and probably won't until at least week 38 so I don't know. I do know that the baby is head down and his/her head is engaged. It is safe to assume that things are definitely happening based on my history and how I'm feeling now.
Food cravings: Breakfast tacos and Rosa's. The closest Rosa's is like an hour from my house. It is tragic.

Symptoms: Sciatic nerve pain, serious swelling in my feet (worse than ever), heartburn has returned, cramping, back pain, pelvic joint pain, heart arrhythmia and I'm still having frequent Braxton Hicks. It might not seem like it, but I really do feel great at this point for the most part!
Next appointment: May 9, May 16, May 23 if I make it until then.

All of my babies at about 36 weeks...watch them grow. And I thought I was big with Hayden? Ha! My belly looks like a torpedo now.

 

Where have my ankles gone??!!
