36 weeks pregnant
I’m 36 weeks pregnant! If you missed last week take a look at my 35 week update
Measurements
Weight: 66kg (eeek well and truly over the 10 stone mark now!!)
Fundal measurement: ooops forgot this one!
Estimated baby weight from scan: 2.4kg
Here’s me this week
Hurrah, Mark has finished work!!! It has been amazing having him home! We have made big progress in getting organised for the arrival of our little man.
We are getting so excited now, and seeing all the little clothes washed and ready for him to wear has really made it all feel real (about time!)
As you can see from my measurements I’m now over 10 stone so I’ve put about 2 stone on in total so far. I’m not worried about it, I’m not going to do any reading about whether this is “normal” or “too much” I don’t care right now. I can worry about it afterwards!
My hands are really swollen now and are pretty hideous, think baseball mits! The last couple of nights my feet have been swollen by the end of the day too, we went to a friends for dinner and I couldn’t get my shoes back on when we left!!
The midwife didn’t seem concerned as my blood pressure was fine, so again, I’ll not worry about it!
I’m struggling with sleep, I fall asleep very very fast but I’m waking lots trying to get comfortable.
I had a scan this week and we were told that little guy is weighing about 2.4kg right now and will be on track to weigh right about the same as Arthur did, small but perfectly formed! Most importantly though he is very healthy in there!! It was amazing to see him! We got to see his face and we reckon he’s going to look just like Arthur!
So now there is only
Until we meet our Little guy (well actually it’s 2 weeks and 4 days as of today!!)
It’s also only 9 days until we go to Mahe so all very exciting!!
I have another midwife appointment next Thursday, my last one in Praslin! By next week we should be all ready, eeek still quite a lot to do!!
I’ll be back next week!
What a gorgeous little bump – good tohear he’s healthy. Good luck! #picknmix

Well for a start stop worrying about your weight missus! You’re looking great. I can’t remember your exact due date but it must be pretty close to the day we leave for South Africa, so it’s all happening for us. I know it’s hard, but try and enjoy the last few weeks of pregnancy. I’ll be thinking of you!
You look fab, glad it is all going well, I can’t wait to hear all about his arrival. #picknmix x

You’ve got such a lovely bump, I miss mine. I put on over 2 stone with both my boys and just under 2 with my girl thanks to all the morning sickness. Not long to go now, how exciting. Thanks for linking up to #PickNMix
