36 Weeks down, 4 to go!! I'd say we've reached the official countdown. We have started visiting my Dr weekly at this point. This weeks appointment went well, my belly is 37cm which she said is normal but usually that measurement is the same as weeks pregnant so i'm slightly ahead. Heartbeat was normal at 163 (faster than usual but she had been moving around like crazy the whole appointment)
At 36 weeks baby girl is the size of a honeydew melon ranging from 4.2-5.8lbs and 17.2-18.7 inches long. While baby girl is doing just fine inside, on the outside life is starting to become more and more difficult s are for momma to say the least. I also thought work wouldn't be an issue, but getting there being there all day, not being able to put my feet up because of my desk set up is starting to also take it's toll. My feet are so swollen I can't even fit into shoes at this point, and sadly flip flops are not comfortable for my back...wah wah wah.
This week was low key for us, Thursday night we got together with a few of our old neighbors, the Quinns and the Morrison's and it was so fun to have dinner with everyone. They are such a great group of friends, afterward we stopped by Dan and Hillary's new place to see all they've done since they've moved in. Hillary has an amazing sense of decor, she could truly be an interior designer. Friday night we decided to take it easy after a long work week and hang in and order take out. Even though neither of us have been traveling we are both tired, we must be trying to soak up all the sleep we can get.
Saturday we had our joint dentist appointment, how exciting! After that we headed to Dave's favorite restaurant Max and Benny's, we had a great lunch and then stopped in the deli so Dave could pick up some goodies to bring home. I swear if we lived up there he would have me there multiple times a week. We are also trying to get to some new restaurants in the last few weeks before DDay, although lots of friends have told us in the first few months it's still easy to go out to dinner, we'll see if that rings true for us. We continue to do baby prep at the house, this week we hung the art work which I was so excited about and it really turned out great. We also got ALL of her clothes, blankets and anything else washed, now I just have to figure out the best place for everything to go.
Sunday your daddy decided his back was feeling much better and as the Dr directed him he needed to get back to his usual schedule and not coddle the pain, so he went for a run this morning. While he did that Brisco and I headed out for a walk to the park. We took our time getting there and once we got there a lab decided to antagonise Brisco even after I warned the owner that he would snap at her dog. So even after that warning she didn't do anything and her dog tried to jump on Brisco and well we know how that went, Brisco snapped at the dog and started trying to protect himself. Unfortunate her dog was so big he ran into me so hard and knocked me forward and i fell straight down on my hands and knees. I was so stunned i had to sit there for a minute before i realized what happen. I was so upset with this woman and just started to walk away and Dave ended up seeing me and came down - thank goodness! I was so upset from the whole ordeal but luckily did not fall on my stomach was just more shaken up.
On a lighter note, I decided to document just how swollen my hands are as you can see that beautiful ring doesn't fit :( At least my nails look nice.
