Double TMI

Only because it's super gross is this labeled as TMI...

36 Weeks Pregnant

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.
