as of yesterday, i am officially at 36 weeks. 9 months down, 4 more weeks to go. still can't believe how hot it has been. granted, i am usually inside and work is always super cold, but the numbers are just insane. it was 103 at 9pm last night. i am fortunate enough to be able to work from home, so i am taking advantage of that. it makes a huge difference for me to do that. sitting at my workstation in front of the computer kills my feet! all of the blood rushes to them and i go home with club feet! my right hand has been the most annoying result of this pregnancy. for the past week, my last 3 fingers have been numb and tingling. that is in addition to my hands being swollen in general. or as i call it, claw hands.
amy and i put the car seat in the other day. we are going to get it checked out this weekend to make sure it is secure and installed correctly. guess i should start packing a bag for the hospital, huh?
looking forward to the appointment on tuesday. we get to see little girl! what in the world is she going to look like on the ultrasound screen? before our appointment we are also going to go to the pediatrician's office and meet our future doctor. the office is right around the corner from the house. it's going to be a busy week.
Your Baby in Week 36 of Pregnancy
Forget your aching back (and everything else!) by trying to focus on your baby, who is now about six pounds and 20 inches long, with soft bones and cartilage to allow a safer journey through the exit door. Most of her systems (from circulatory to musculoskeletal) are ready for prime time, though her digestion system — which has done only practice runs so far — will kick into gear as she takes her first suckle at the breast or bottle.
