The biggest update is that our house is about to get a little more crazy...Baby #2 is due November 9th! We decided to be surprised about the sex again, so I cannot wait to see if we are having a boy or a girl!
Here is what is going on at 36 Weeks:
Sleep: Not getting much these days. Up several times to go to the bathroom, and lots of tossing and turning to attempt to find a comfortable position. Although, I am fully aware that I am getting much more sleep now then I will be getting when the baby is here.
Food/Cravings: I still love to eat! Ha ha, well even though I do not technically have Gestational Diabetes this pregnancy, I am borderline. I have been watching my diet the entire pregnancy and still do occasional blood sugar testing. So of course I'm craving the sweets because I cannot eat them. Other than that, all food looks good to me! The spicier the better!!!
Weight Gain: 22 pounds, less than last time!!
Eli's Current thoughts on the baby: This seems to be a good week! He is now fully aware that there is a baby in my belly (he used to think that he had a baby in his belly too), and he is excited about being a big brother! Recently when we bought diapers for the baby, Eli insisted that they were for him. He has also been known to say on several occasions, "I'm the baby too Mommy!"
Swelling: Much better than last pregnancy!!! So far no real swelling to mention. I am still able to wear my rings!
So only 4 weeks (or less) to go! Eli came 2 weeks early, but I was induced. We will see when this baby feels like making his/her grand entrance. I am starting to get a little bit nervous/anxious about what is to come, and whether I am ready for it?? But I am so excited to meet this baby! I cannot wait for all the new memories we will make in the upcoming months as our family of 3 grows into a family of 4!!!
