Week 35 and Week 36

I think everyone can agree that this past week was very interesting!  Hurricane Sandy came roaring through and damaging the East Coast including NYC, Long Island and New Jersey.  To see the damage and loss that people have suffered and still are suffering, is so sad and upsetting.  Through this though, you see the spirit of mankind.  I just watched a special on the heroes of the storm.  It makes you feel inspired and happy to know that kindness and the golden rule still hold true.  My favorite story was the story of the NYU nurses helping those little babies that were practically just born.  I guess this is very close to my heart because our little one will be here in just a few weeks.
One of Jeff's favorite things to celebrate is Halloween, and though this was a quiet one with lots of candy left over (I think Jeff planned it that way), he assured me that next year and every year after will be different!  He does make me laugh!  We also went to another doctor's appointment and got a really good report.  I am measuring a week ahead (which I am very confident to tell you that I knew I was a week ahead the whole time) so that means I am more like 37 weeks.  Heartbeat, measurements, blood pressure-all perfect!  Now, if the labor could go just as well as this pregnancy!  Staying positive that it will!

I am looking scary tired!!!! Haha!

Week 36 Updates....

1. Maternity Clothes: These are starting to even be uncomfortable
   
2. Stretch Marks:  None
3. Sleep: I am to the point where I can only get about two good hours of sleep before I want to literally cry from the excruciating pain I feel in my lower back, hips and legs.  But...I wouldn't change it for the world (:
4. Miss Anything?:  Sleep...I know, I know-it will never be the same ( I have been told that so many times)
5. Movement: Baby's head is down and the kicking has now made it into my ribs
   
6. Food Cravings: Grapes
7. Anything making you queasy or sick? When I eat too much
8. Showing yet? 
9. Gender: I can't wait to know already!!
10. Mood:  Due to the lack of sleep...I am not going to talk about it!
11. Labor Signs: none
12. Symptoms: Sharp pains, cracks in joints, pops in bones and the list goes on and on and on (:
13. Looking Forward To: seeing how big this baby really is going to be...I'm telling you it feels like it is about 10 pounds in me right now!

 Like I said, I technically am 36 weeks, but from the beginning have known that I was a week ahead.  So I am going to go with 37.  That means that by Wednesday (that is the day of the "new" week), I will be considered full term!  I can't believe it!  Sooo....be on the look out for some delivery news!  We are hoping we actually do deliver on our due date of November 28th....that was Jeff's mother's birthday.  Fingers crossed!

Week 35...sorry I got lazy this week!  No updates!
