Preggo Lady Survey! 36 Weeks

How far along: 36 weeks today

Weight gain: 35 lbs

Innie or outtie: Innie still - but my deep deep belly button is really shallow now!

Maternity Clothes: Three pairs of maternity pants, one Thyme Maternity night gown, and a couple of maternity tops. Lots of 'regular clothes' that I bought from regular womens fashion stores that I could grow into. No maternity underwear or compression stockings.

Sleep: Not too bad. I still only get up once or twice a night to pee with no problems getting back to sleep. Sometimes when I get up to pee I am pretty hungry too, so I do a 'sleepy preggo waddle' to the fridge and break off a piece of cheese to satisfy my hunger until the morning.

Pregnancy Perks: Being rushed to the front of the public washroom line. Thank goodness for women who have been there :) Being told to have a sit down, have a lay down or a nap :)

Embarrassing Pregnant Moment: Farting at prenatal yoga. Not super loud. Not even during a position that could really squeak it out of me.
Lastest Baby Purchases: A couple little outfits from my local baby consigment store. 1 Osh Kosh summer jumper Victoria can wear this year, 1 Old Navy jumper and 1 Old Navy dress that she can wear at 18-24 months and 1 pair of size 1 shoes.

Latest Baby Gift: Cute pink Bat Girl onsie footy pajamas that my friend Caroline saw and bought for me. They won't fit Victoria for quite a while, but she will grow into them!

Movement: Big rolls! It is WAY more entertaining to watch my belly as opposed to anything movie or TV show. It makes me laugh, smile and sometimes I tear up.

Food Cravings: Still no real food cravings.

Food Aversions: I haven't eaten eggs since the beginning of my pregnancy. Other than that, no real food aversions since the first trimester

How's Mama? I'm doing fantastic. A lot of my pregnant friends can't wait for it to be over, between heartburn, back pain, swelling, vericose veins and just about everything else... but me? I've had it pretty easy. Some pain when she sits on my sciatic nerve, swollen feet and ankles every now and then and a little bit of fatigue. Other than that (Which isn't much to complain about - and I've been told I don't really complain) I'm doing great and I'm feeling good.

What I'm Looking Forward To: Having my mom come to visit after Victoria is born. More baby gifts in the mail. Being able to eat things I haven't been able to for months (feta and goats cheese?! Yum! Subway sandwiches? Yes please. A glass of wine? I'd love one, thank you very much)

My Baby in Veg/Fruit Terms: What the heck is a crenshaw melon? Length: more than 18 1/2 inches, head to heel and weighs about 6.5 lbs
Next Doctor (In my case, midwife) Appointment: April 5th. The first of my weekly visits

What Do I Think My Baby Will Look Like? Blonde/light brown hair, greenish-blue eyes, chubby little cheeks but a long/lean little body.
Natural/C-Section/Drugs? Natural with a midwife baby. (Although if I have to, I will do whatever it takes to get Victoria out safely. And if I have a LONG and hard delivery and I need relief, I am open to taking drugs... I've made it very clear that I'd rather be encouraged to do without rather than have my support group just agree with me that I need the drugs)

Signed up for any classes? Yup! I've done Prenatal Classes, Preparing For Labour,  Prenatal Yoga. I'm just waiting for Breastfeeding 101 in a couple of weeks (Hoping she doesn't come before then, I REALLY want to reap the benefits of this class!)

Stretch Marks? I few on my bum, a few on my legs where my thighs meet my torso but not a lot. None on my tummy or back.

Are you ready for it to be over? I'm still pretty comfortable. I'm not in any rush.

Any weird dreams? Not weird dreams... but I've had a few dreams that it's going to be a boy... which freaks me out a little bit because I originally thought that we were having a boy, just a feeling. If we do end up having a boy? Plus side, we have a name picked out. Down side? He'll be wearing girl clothes for a little while - but I did buy gender neutral clothes... I don't want our little girl to be dressed in pink from head to toe... that's a lot of pink to handle.
