36 weeks!

Yowsa, 36 weeks! Shes about 6 lbs now and 18.5 inches. By now she should be in the birthing position (head down) but Im not sure she is following those rules. She was ALL over the place last night. Attempting an escape I think. She has also had the hiccups at least once a day (yesterday she had them FOUR times!). Its cute but I feel bad and helpless! Not that Id be able to do anything for hiccups if she were outside my belly anyway.

We reached a big milestone this weekend, our master bedroom is finally done so we are sleeping downstairs! No more going up and down the steps all night for bathroom breaks! Of course I had to set up all the baby stuff! And I feel MUCH better now that I did, I definitely feel more prepared for her arrival (since next Tuesday Ill be considered FULL TERM!) Check out some pics below...

Pack and play (where she will be sleeping in our room)with the changing station attached and the boppy on top :o)


Our baby organizer for behind the door...



Of course the swing is set up in the living room (caution...living room spoiler pic since I havent done the blog post on the new furniture yet!)




And last but not least, the travel system is ready to go. (Dont mind all the other random baby things stacked around it)


Theres the happy news of 36 weeks!

Of course not everything about being 36 weeks brings smiles. The downside is I have had an extreme increase in stretch marks. Ahh! I never really had stretch marks anywhere and they only showed their ugly faces a few weeks ago if you recall I bought the awesome (or so I thought) Burts Bees Belly Balm. Sadly its not doing the trick to fight off those bad boys. They are coming in full force. I keep getting encouraging words like "they arent too bad, they will go away" and as the get worse, Im starting to worry they wont and Ill be stuck with ugly stretch marks and full piece bathing suits for the rest of my life. In the big picture though, its a small price to pay for the baby we have dreamed about our whole lives. And I really have been extremely lucky through the pregnancy so far. Id be crazy to think that it would be the "perfect" pregnancy right?

Hope everyone had a great Tuesday! Next week is full term and the wait offically begins (although I think she is gonna hang in there until after the due date). We shall see!
