How Far Along: 38.5 weeks
Size of Peanut: Too big to still be hanging out in my uterus!
Total Weight Gain: I think it's best if I just stop weighing myself at this point. Ain't nobody got time to be worrying about how I weigh almost as much as my husband who has chosen the most beautiful and poetic time in my life to go right ahead and lose 21 pounds. He's cute ;)
Maternity Clothes: Thank goodness gracious for elastic. My belly is so big I think I am starting to look like Rachel Greene on Friends right before she delivers Emma and the bottom of her belly hangs out from all of her tank tops. Also cute ;)

Thirty-Six
How Far Along: 36 weeks - this was my goal when we found out at 32 weeks that I was at risk of pre-term labor - so YAY YAY YAY!!
Size of Peanut: Honeydew melon - AKA taking up my entire midsection
Total Weight Gain: I haven't really gained any weight since last week. My weight seems to be just fluctuating daily. Everything I read says that's pretty normal. I have like no room left in my belly to really overindulge in food so it makes sense. After a breakfast of two eggs and toast I basically feel like I want to vomit and lay on the couch in sloth mode for 2 hours. So if we can stick right at around 32 pounds, which will be right about the weight I was when I delivered Sam, I will feel that there is hope for me to not feel like a whale for too long after I deliver this munchkin. Because right now, I feel like a whale.
Maternity Clothes: Just really, thank you Jesus that I can wear leggings and baggy shirts at my home computer for work every day. I would absolutely NOT be down with putting on a real bra and real pants for work right now. It's hard enough to make myself presentable to leave the house for any reason. I've reached that point where I don't feel like I look remotely decent in anything, and I'd rather just lay around in sweats and be comfortable. My hospital bag is packed with nursing tanks, my lone pair of pajama pants that will still go up over my ass, and a few really baggy shirts. I will be SO excited to have access to some non-maternity clothes again. I can almost taste it!
