36 Weeks

I finally met my OBGYN this week. He was very informative and nice but he was fast. He said the baby is about 6-7 pounds. OMG that seems huge to me! Is that normal at 36 weeks? Also the heart beat is still good. He also told me at 37 weeks I will be full term which means I could give birth next week if the baby wants to come out! I'm hoping she bakes a little longer! My hands and feet are still swollen and I'm sure they will be or get even more swollen until birth. I do try to avoid a certain area at work in our department because I just don't feel like answering questions. Only a few pants fit me right now and I wish I had more leggings. I am starting to wear more maxi skirts.

Swollen feet and a little bit of "kankle"?

 

 



Oliver told me while I was sleeping, (we spoon and he holds my stomach.) I was snoring and Violet was dancing. Hehe! That just tickled me. I was thinking maybe she thinks my snoring is music OR my snoring is keeping her up! I'm starting to get deeper compelling feelings, just thinking about meeting our daughter. We're so excited to hold her!

Cravings? Hmm.. Probably Cinnabon. I usually have one of those once a year and it is shared! But they are soooo delicious! And red vines. I also want to go to a tea house and have traditional tea LOL.

It feels like it's been forever since we didn't have any plans during the weekend and it felt weird but we were looking forward to a weekend like that. Our plan was to get everything organized for baby's arrival. So we finally took all our diapers and gifts that was taking over the dining room into the garage. I only have 2 days left of work and I'm off on maternity leave! Now it is just the waiting game. I still cannot believe it has come this soon!

I am actually finishing this blog up on my last day of work! My maternity leave starts Jan. 21st. and won't be back to work until May. I think people are more excited for me because when they ask me if I'm excited about being off, I don't feel like it and I think that's because it hasn't hit me yet. I am looking forward to the time off but I feel very calm which I'm glad I feel like that! I think a part of me is just a little worried about work but I can't let that bother me and it seems like things will be under control. I think I'm just a control freak over my stuff LOL. But meeting Violet definitely makes me excited. I'm not even really that worried about labor. I just feel like things could go smoothly as it possibly can with out knowing when it will come and I feel very blessed for that. Now it's just waiting!
