36 Weeks!

Week 36:

How much weight gained: 2lbs this week, 9lbs overall
Latest food craving: It seems like chocolate more and more, but I think that’s just my normal!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Eating normal sized meals makes me miserable.
Mostly happy or moody: Happy
Wedding rings on or off:  On
Worst Thing about being pregnant this week: Just getting very uncomfortable.  Sitting is sometimes the worst, feeling like Matthew is up in my ribs and I can’t breathe.
Best Thing about being pregnant this week: We are getting so close now, and I am thankful our little boy is still growing inside, safe and sound.
Update from within:  Mom says we are getting pretty close to my arrival, I’m still unsure of my debut date though.  She stays busy preparing more and more, and is having fun completing several sewing projects for me and my room.  Dad has been working like normal, but also helps when he can to organize, clean and prepare for my arrival.  He came home several times these past two weeks to find mom on her hands and knees scrubbing the floor or bathtub with a toothbrush.  Dad and I think she is going crazy, but it makes her happy!  Some of mom’s sweet new friends from Kansas threw us a baby shower here.  It was a lot of fun, and we were once again blessed with even more baby things for my arrival!  I am ready for our play dates with all the other mommies and little boys!  Mom made a crazy list of (what seemed like) a hundred things to accomplish before my arrival and my parents have been crossing more and more off the list.  They’ve even managed to fill our freezer up with several meals for after I arrive, yum!  My doctor appointments are more frequent now, and they say I’m growing just perfectly.  The doctor was a little worried that mom’s belly measured really small, so he ordered an extra ultrasound, but I am right on track for my expected arrival.  When will I arrive!?
