36 Week Bumpdate

36 Week Bumpdate

size of the baby: Papaya– about 18.7+ inches, and probably close to 6.5 pounds!

total weight gain: about 23 pounds now.

gender: Little Man

clothes: Leggings and comfy shorts most of the time, but I have been getting out slightly more so I am “dressing” up… and by dressing  up, I mean wearing one of the 3 tops that actually fits me.

movement: He is always on the go. I feel him constantly shifting his body and moving.

sleep: I have been sleeping HORRIBLE! I have been waking up at all hours of the night with contractions and cramping that keep me up for hours. I keep thinking “this is it, it might be go time”.. then nope, they will fade out after a few hours. I am really getting tired of it.

missing: normal life! I feel like I am in such a weird waiting period. I feel like he could come any day but then he just doesn’t.

craving: ehh… limeades, ice cream occasionally and sweet things.

symptoms/update: I have still been having a lot of contractions/cramping. We are just waiting on him to make his appearance now. I got food poisoning we think Sunday night, so that was a horrible experience.

kevin is: really excited to meet him now, and much more patient than me!

looking forward to: going into actual labor! I am really tired of constant contractions and pressure. I am so ready!

best moments: having game night with friends Saturday night and a lazy family day on Sunday. We got out to go to church, so that was really nice to see the world the again!

    I know you already had your beautiful baby boy, but I love going and reading your updates when I am in the same week! This week is week 36 for me. I have cramping as well, but I can never tell if it’s contractions or just stomach cramps. My cravings are everything sweet as well, I swear I could devour a bucket of chocolate in one sitting if it was good for me!

  • This Easter appetizer recipe is so simple! 🥕 It’s only 3 ingredients and so adorable.

I used mini orange peppers, a soft herb & cheese spread, and dill leaves.

  • There’s a reason I have these shorts in 5 colors❤️❤️❤️… they are so good! I love that one pocket zips and the fit is really flattering.

I always reach for these when I’m going for a walk or run.

  • #AD I’ve been needing to de-clutter and re-organize my bathroom so badly, so I took advantage of the @HomeDepot Winter Bath Savings Event and got a few things to help me out!

They are offering up to 40% off on select Bath items. I just love how my new under cabinet organizers transformed the space and my drawer organizers are a game changer. 

Then, my scallop basket over the toilet was the perfect addition to the space. Baskets are so great for organizing - they’re stylish yet functional.

It’s a great time to re-organize or upgrade your bathroom. There’s so many great items in the savings event - faucets, toilets, vanities.. etc. Check it out! #HomeDepotCreator #THDBathUpgrades
  • Add these to your cart ASAP! ❤️ Every time I’ve worn these people have stopped me and asked where they’re from. They are so cute, sell out risk for sure.

  • This Crockpot Macaroni and Cheese recipe 🧀 is the perfect side dish for Easter! It’s so easy to make and deliciously cheesy. 🐣🌷

INGREDIENTS:
6 cups of uncooked pasta
1 cup of cheddar cheese
24oz of velvetta cheese
4 cups of milk
2 cups of half and half
1/2 teaspoon of paprika
2 teaspoons of salt
