36 weeks, less than a month to go.

I am tired today; this pregnancy has reached the hard point.  We've been working at the house since Friday, and even though I'm not on hard labor or painting duty, it's taken a lot out of me!  But, at 36 weeks pregnant, I suppose that is expected.

 

How Far Along: 36 weeks
Size of baby: crenshaw melon.  Which I've never heard of, so here's a helpful link: http://www.babycenter.com/slideshow-baby-size?slideNumber=34.  Apparently this means she's about 6 pounds and 18 1/2 inches.  Wow.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still about 30 pounds.
Maternity Clothes: I spoke too soon 2 weeks ago...I am wearing a non-maternity button down under my maternity sweater today!  My current problems with clothing involve my shoes...my feet aren't quite fitting comfortably in many pairs.
Movement: Very active today and she's hitting nerves, or something.  Some twinges of pain along with movement is not an uncommon occurrence.
Sleep: Not good.
Symptoms: Swelling.  I am now only wearing my engagement ring as my wedding band is too tight.  As I mentioned above, shoes don't fit as well anymore either.
What I miss: Being free from hip pain.  Sleeping through the night.
Cravings: Nothing special lately. 
Best Moment this week: Closing on our house and picking paint colors for Eliza's room.
Labor signs:  Some random tightening in my belly, but nothing major.  I'm anxious that she can now arrive at.any.moment.  

Depending on who you ask Eliza is now a full-term baby!  Thus, my anxiety of her arriving any day.  Emotionally and physically I'm ready, but I'd rather her not decide to join us in the middle of a cross-town move.  Stay put for awhile longer, baby girl!
