How Far Along: 36 Weeks 5 Days (3 weeks 2 days until due date)
Size of baby: over 18.5 inches long and weighs almost 6 pounds (a crenshaw melon)
Gender: Girl - Emma
Maternity Clothes: Yes, all maternity but I'm running out of options!
Weight gain: + 18 pounds (official measurement from Thursday's visit with the doctor)
Movement: Emma has been very active this week; I can feel her movement (stretching, mostly) almost every hour.
Symptoms: minimal cramping (braxton hicks?). tired in the afternoons. uncomfortable if I sit or stand for an extended period. increased appetite.
Sleep: Sleeping great! Greg has his ear plugs in so he's been sleeping better too. I'm up maybe once a night, around 3:30 to use the restroom.
What I miss: Being able to bend over. medium-cooked steak.
Cravings: random cravings but still enjoy chocolate and citrus. I want to eat constantly; it reminds me of the first trimester.
Best moment this week: Good visit with the doctor.

What I am looking forward to: Packing the hospital bag for myself and Emma.
Doctor's appointment recap: No weight gain from last week. Urine was good. Blood pressure: 116/64. I'm negative for the Group B Strep test which means no antibiotics during labor. Emma's measuring right on track. Next appointment is Friday, January 20. The doctor mentioned maybe doing a cervical check; this is a different doctor than last week who said no cervical checks so we shall see.
