36 Weeks

How Far Along - 36 Weeks! Only 1 to go, thanks to our induction.
Size of Baby - Patrick is still packing on the pounds. He weighs almost 6 pounds and is over 18 1/2 inches long. He is crammed in there! We will have a better estimate on his weight on Monday when we go for our last Level 2 ultrasound!
What the baby can do this week- He is shedding the downy covering of hair that is covering his body and the waxy substance that covers and protects his skin. At the end of this week he is considered full term!
Total Weight Gain - 24 pounds. Not too shabby!
Maternity Clothes - Yes! I can still wear a few of my shirts, but mostly maternity shirts and definitely maternity pants.
Gender - A baby boy! Patrick James
Sleep - Pretty good. I wake up at 4 and then start thinking about labor and everything I still need to do!
What I Crave - Cadbury eggs.
Symptoms - Swollen feet! My feet are huge by the end of the day! Today was my last day of work, so next week I plan on keeping them up!
Baby Purchases - We are going to pick up a few odds and ends this weekend at Babies R Us and that will be it! Michael needs to put all of the big purchases together this weekend.

Today at the Doc, he did my pelvic exam and cultures (to check for Strep B). I am 1 cm dilated. YAY! Hey, that's one less to go later!
