36th Week Updates

* Drinking milk (my absolute favorite beverage) makes me want to vomit.

* I eat Cream of Wheat (no sugar, 1 - 2 T. of milk) for at least one meal a day because that doesn't make me want to vomit.

* I almost have my bags packed for the hospital. Almost...

* At my ultrasound today, the baby weighed in at 8lbs 4oz. The majority of women don't even deliver that big of a baby at 40 weeks... I guess I'm just special.

***Maybe I'll post a picture of my ginormous belly tomorrow. Though pictures don't quite do it justice.

Cream of wheat was one thing I was able to eat. So you get sick at the end of your pregnancy too... oh joy! Big healthy baby :)

You really are. You know what they say, the bigger the baby the better they sleep. ?? If they don't really say that they should.

amanda - i have never gotten sick at the end of my pregnancy before, this is the first.

kerri - no, you're right they do say that, and I actually like having big babies for that reason, among other reasons too. I never know what to do when I hold tiny babies, it feels awkward. :)

Please tell me they are inducing you next week.......

Holly said...

My hospital's policy is they will schedule no inductions before 39 weeks. Of course my doctor bought up the conversation of a c-section, which I would like to try to avoid. Next week when he checks me, hopefully he'll be able to strip my membranes and hopefully put my into labor!! Cross your fingers!

I hope for your sake he does decide to strip your membranes. And you're right, pictures do not do your belly justice :) I can't believe how much you've dropped. Hang in there, it's almost time. Just don't have "it" while i'm at the beach with Megan.
