Week 36
Baby size: a honeydew melon...I feel much larger than a honeydew melon!
Cool Facts: -Baby's getting close and close to being able to breathe on her own.
-The skin is getting smooth and soft and gums are rigid.
-Baby's liver and kidneys are in working order.
-Circulation and immune systems are basically good to go, too.

How I
feel about being pregnant: Well....as much as I love it, she's beginning to hurt! I'm beginning to wonder if there is a swing set in my tummy. Her hiccups are also intense at times...I love feeling those but can't help but feel she gets annoyed with that! If I hiccuped that many times, I'd be annoyed! I've also started to think about life after she comes...it's so crazy to think that it won't just be us two anymore. It's scary and exciting all at the same time. So, needless to say, I'm trying to just enjoy time with Brandon and enjoy Mackenzie being in my tummy still!
Symptoms: random
heartburn...
sleeplessness...
peeing every 45
minutes...
moody...
shortness of
breath...this has gotten a little better though!
waddling...oh waddling....
Stretch
marks: I hate those bad boys! It means she's getting bigger and that's scary! haha.
Food
Cravings: This week, I haven't really had any. I have been STARVING at the most random times. It's totally weird because I have really eaten on a schedule these last 9 months. But they did say that smaller more frequent meals from now until I have her will help. Now I just gotta work on that darn portion control!
Something
I've done to prepare for baby: I've packed her hospital bag.....that was a cake walk as opposed to mine...which still isn't packed! I've also started to fill in parts of her baby book! The nursery is finished, so here are the pics
We absolutely love her room! It's so calming and peaceful in there (that is until she is in there screaming her head off!)
Funny
moment: Brandon and I keep having these crazy dumb moments and I absolutely love it. If anyone else was around, they would think we were crazy!
What I miss: I miss my wine again....I feel like such an alcohie! There are some things you just don't take away from people...and I think wine is one of them!
What I'm looking forward
to: Enjoying the next few weeks with Brandon...my hormones have been at bay (so I think!) and we have really just been enjoying each others company.
Best Moment of the
Week: There was also a moment in our ultrasound when the tech did the 3D image. When it came in to where we could tell it was her, Brandon's face was priceless. The next best thing was when Walt and Weasy came to visit! They are my sister-in-laws parents. They stopped in Greenville over night at my parents, so we ordered pizza and salad and got to chat! Well, Weasy has been making these quilts for about two years..maybe longer. Anyways, I absolutely love them and when I got pregnant, I had told either Lori (SIL) or my mom that I wanted Weasy to make one! Well...the response was..."She makes them out of love." How was I going to get her to love me!!?!? So, I gave up. Well, she surprised me with an ADORABLE quilt for Mackenzie. It matches her nursery theme and the colors are perfect. I love them. I love it. It means the world to me and I love that she has a quilt that was made with love.
Here's a pic of her :) Can't wait to see that sweet face! This is the quilt Weasy made! AMAZING!
Least Favorite Moment
of the Week: My upper back has started to hurt this week and I feel like she is holding on to my rib cage (even though her feet are at the top!). So, maybe a foot is stuck...or maybe she just likes to push on my ribs...who knows...but it's not a favorite moment!
