36 Week Update...or so we thought!

Obviously this was supposed to be finished and posted by last Saturday afternoon, but someone had other plans for his mommy and daddy this weekend!  Our little nugget decided that he wanted to see his Mamaw, so he came 23 days early!  Unfortunately, I don't have a 36 week picture since I planned to take that on Saturday, July 12th...but I did type up my weekly update.

How far along: 36 weeks, 4 days
Gender: Boy!
Weight gain: +28
Maternity clothes: Yes, they are all that fit at this point!
Stretch marks: I spoke too soon last week.  I noticed about two days later that I had a few, small, angry red marks on my hips and lower belly.  No bueno!
Belly button in or out: It's almost flat!
Wedding rings on or off: On...I've been really lucky, and I have not been swelling.
Sleep: Fairly decent.  I'm getting up a lot to pee, and my hips have been achy off and on, but I'm sleeping really well about 9 hours each night.
Best moment this week: My momma came to visit while the hubby on a work trip in New Orleans, and we organized my entire house and finished the nursery (except for the vinyl decal).
Miss anything: I would LOVE a frozen margarita.
Food cravings: I wanted a frosty like MAD on Tuesday night! << I had to change "queasy or sick" this week to this since I actually WANTED something!
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy, but definitely getting a bit anxious!
Labor signs: None
Movement: This nugget apparently adores pushing himself into my left rib cavity.  Hubs laughed at me the other day because my belly was lopsided.  A few times over the last couple of days I think he was pushing his butt to the right and shoving his feet in my ribs, or vice versa.  It's not what one would call "comfortable."
Looking forward to: Getting my vinyl and finishing that part of the nursery since it's the last thing that we need to do!

I will be continuing this blog with our first week Baby C update, the promised nursery preview, our birth story, and then weekly Baby C posts until 2 months.  After 2 months, I think I'll stick to monthly updates.
