At 36 weeks, Baby O is busy putting weight on (about an ounce a day) and is 18.5 inches long. In preparation for being born, he is shedding the fine hair on his body and the waxy vernix that keeps his skin from getting too waterlogged. At the end of this week he will be full term! At my appointment on Friday, the doctor told me that he seems to be head-down already. He still moves a lot, and sometimes it hurts. I’m getting to be pretty uncomfortable…I feel heavy and awkward, and I’m still sort of limping from my hip hurting. I am very tired, and I don’t mean to make this sound all bad, but it’s certainly the more uncomfortable part of this process. I feel like I need a lot of rest, and I’m trying to abide by that, but I also feel like I have a lot to do!

Today I am officially one month away from my due date! I hope that he gives me time to finish everything I need to do, but I’m also really excited…and I think that Josh is ready for him to come any day now.

For our picture this week, here I am at 36 weeks, riding my bike!
