Baby is heavy. Almost 6 pounds now, nearly 20 inches. I can see practice breathing developing the last bits of baby lungs and I know all my cravings for shrimp (and other fatty fishies) are from that little brain getting bigger and more and more wrinkly. I think baby is almost done cooking.
My belly and hips are very sore, especially when I get out of bed (like in the morning or one of the 10 [not joking] times I got up to pee last night). Sometimes I can't move or walk until I rest on my hands and knees for a few minutes because the baby still moves and jams itself under my ribs occasionally.
I've started to not sleep as much and I'm a total space cadet; I just constantly am thinking about labor and the baby. I'm nearly always in a space where I feel "ready" to have labor start. I am excited and only a little bit scared... for everything. Like 99% excited and 1% scared... and I'd like to stay there.

WoW! 36 weeks! time is going by SO fast! So exciting!
Six pounds!! Baby is ready to come out!! I would say 99%/1% is a great ratio. Keep it there. At least don't let it go above 90/10. I hope I am as calm as you are when I reach that point!
It sounds like you and Baby are both "ready," and I'm glad you're feeling so excited and only a little bit scared. You are going to be such a great mommy, Hill!
