Is this survey getting old or should I keep it up????

How far along are you? 36 weeks and counting

How big is baby? According to my weekly email from the America Pregnancy Association, baby is probably about 18 inches long and weighs 6 to 7 pounds.

Maternity clothes? You know it.

Weight - Loss or Gain? Bigger and more beautiful every day...

Stretch marks? Belly = no.  Elsewhere = yes.

Sleep? Eh. It's not great, but it could be a lot worse and at least I'm sleeping - I've heard that insomnia can strike some preggos at this point.  I just have to get up to go pee at least once in the middle of the night.

Any movement?  Yup.  He's still an active one, although the main movements are due to the hiccups he seems to get every few hours.  Let's talk about how much I just love when this happens...

Food Cravings? Grilled onions.  This started yesterday and may be a fleeting craving, but I couldn't get enough of them yesterday.  They went on my sandwich at lunch and my cheese quesadilla snack in the evening.  Yum.

Food Aversions? Of course not.

Gender? The OB confirmed at our appointment last week that we have a boy coming our way.  Thank goodness, as a wrong reading would've thrown a wrench into the whole nursery theme and baby name.  On second thought, we'd probably just still call her Lukas.  Why bother picking a gender-appropriate name after we've been calling the baby Lukas for months, right mom?!?!

Belly Button in or out? In the great belly button watch of 2010, I'm happy to report that it's still IN.  I've now changed my mind and decided it's not going to pop out.  Wishful thinking?  Perhaps.  But a girl can dream!

What do you miss? Hum, all the same things I've been missing - wine, martinis, high heels, running, sushi etc.  But right now, I miss everyone that was just in town visiting.

What are you looking forward to? Finishing up the nursery. Nope, we didn't finish this weekend. Don't judge.

What was the BEST part of this week? Spending time with my nephew.  It's next to impossible not to smile when I'm around him.

What was the WORST part of this week? Saturday afternoon I was struck with really bad vertigo for a few hours.  Still not sure what it was from.

Weekly Wisdom? Um, I'm not feeling so wise this week.  But if I had to give some weekly wisdom, it'd be to remember that when you're pregnant you're not fat, you're pregnant.  And beautiful.  (Thanks Al for sending me the link...)

Milestones: In just four days I'll be considered "full term".  Excuse me while I go freak out.
