36 weeks

I am 36 weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

• How Far Along: 36 Weeks
• Size of baby: a crenshaw melon (~ 6lbs and 18.5 inches)
  
• Total Weight Gain/Loss: 19 lbs total - I didn't gain any from last week to this week. : )
  
• Maternity Clothes: I can wear my maternity clothes. I'm trying to hang out in dresses because the elastic on the pants hurts my belly.
  
• Gender: BOY! William (Will) Cooper Perry
• Movement: Will is definitely a mover. He moves all day long. Is this a sign of what's to come?
  
• Sleep: I'm on the couch now usually starting around 3:00am
  
• What I miss: Running and Body Pump
• Cravings: Salads, Jersey Mike's sandwiches, soft drinks from a fountain and ice (pellet) - exclamation on the sandwich part.
  
• Symptoms:Carpal tunnel has my right arm/hand completely numb and in pain. My left arm/hand are just numb off and on. Toes swell by the end of the day or if I'm on them for too long.
  
• Best Moment this week: We started our once a week appointments. C-section is scheduled for August 22 at 10:30am. My doctor is willing to give Will every opportunity to arrive on his own, but if he's not here by his due date he'll be evicted. I also stopped my progesterone shots this week. Who knows if they really kept me from going into preterm labor, but in 2 days I will be officially full term. Hurry up 37 weeks and hurry up Will!

No picture this week. Sorry, I was lazy. Just picture the Goodyear Blimp.

34 weeks

I am 34 weeks 4 days

Pregnancy Highlights

• How Far Along: 34 Weeks
• Size of baby: a cantaloupe (4.75 lbs and 18 inches)
  
• Total Weight Gain/Loss: 17 lbs total
  
• Maternity Clothes: I can wear my maternity clothes. I'm trying to hang out in dresses because the elastic on the pants hurts my belly.
  
• Gender: BOY! William (Will) Cooper Perry
• Movement: Will is definitely a mover. He moves all day long. Is this a sign of what's to come?
  
• Sleep: I'm on the couch now usually starting around 3:00am
  
• What I miss: Running and Body Pump
• Cravings: Salads, Jersey Mike's sandwiches, soft drinks from a fountain and ice (pellet) - exclamation on the sandwich part.
  
• Symptoms:Carpal tunnel has my right arm/hand completely numb and in pain. My left arm/hand are just numb right now. Toes swell by the end of the day or if I'm on them for too long.
  
• Best Moment this week: Knowing I only have no more than 4 weeks left to this pregnancy. If make it to 39 weeks we'll probably go ahead and schedule a c-section, but the doctors are leaving it up to me. If Will is a hoss then I'll most definitely skip labor and go for the c-section. At this point I am ready to be done and have a baby.

• Best Moment this week: Hitting 33 weeks with no signs of preterm labor! We have officially made it past the point when I delivered Zachary. It's been 6 years since I've been pregnant for more than 28 weeks. It dawned on me that I'm really only 6.5 - 7 weeks away from having Will. If make it to 39 weeks we'll probably go ahead and schedule a c-section, but the doctors are leaving it up to me. If Will is a hoss then I'll most definitely skip labor and go for the c-section.
