Just a quick pregnancy update. I hit my 36 week mark last Thursday (July 17)
Baby is looking great and I'm feeling.....decent.
My heartburn has subsided over the last week or two (thank goodness!) and even though I gained the weight faster this time around, I haven't gained more than I did with my previous pregnancies. I was afraid I was going to gain A LOT more because of the rate I gained in my late 2nd/ early 3rd trimester.
I've only had a little bit of swelling in my hands due to the warmth of summer mostly. I only swell in my feet if I sit and my legs dangle or I take a long car ride. My knees have also been feeling the aches of holding up the extra weight, I attribute that to the more rapid weight gain rather than the gradual like my last two.
Sleeping? Mostly, only up 2 times sometimes 3 a night but it's such a part of my routine, half the time I don't even remember doing it. I also get flustered quickly and I sweat a lot. I guess I should be thankful for this cooler summer, because I would be miserable if it were much hotter.
Here's a picture at 36 weeks!

Tim says he thinks I'm smaller with this pregnancy than my last, but I feel about the same. (I think it depends on what outfit I wear honestly)
P.s. My hair is SO long. This is the longest I think I've ever had it. It sits right above my back hip bones. Everyone keeps asking if I'll cut it soon because of baby or if it gets in my way a lot. Honestly, I don't really mind so I don't plan on cutting it.
We've also set our c-section surgery date. Unless she decides to come earlier, we are set for the morning of August 8th. As much as I'm done with being pregnant and want to meet her, I want to make it to my surgery date.
