Pregnancy Survey~ 36 weeks

How Far Along: 36 weeks 

Size of baby: Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered his body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of his first bowel movement.

 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 30 pounds

Maternity Clothes: Yes

Movement: Lots of movement. I can see her moving from the outside.  Jason has been able to feel her moving as well.  (He never saw a bump when we had Hailey because he was deployed).  She is still breech.

 Gender: Baby GIRL-- Olivia Ann

What I miss:  Being able to get off the floor easily and bend over : )

Sleep: No problems sleeping!

Symptoms: Tired in the evenings and my feet are sore.

Cravings: Mexican/Chiptole and sweets

Belly button in or out? Flat : )

Wedding ring off or on? Off.  I am no longer able to wear it.

What I am looking forward to: Jason is home!! He got to see Olivia on an ultrasound on Friday. Tomorrow we go to the hospital tour again with Hailey.  Looking forward to the last day of school on Friday!!
