36 weeks pregnant feels a lot like, well, like being pregnant.
Every time I get in and out of bed, it feels like I ran a marathon. Like, I just lose my breath completely. So, that’s fun.
His kicks have gotten even more frequent, and a bit more jarring. I can feel all sorts of little boney limbs now every time. Also, he gets the hiccups almost every day. :)
I am ravishingly thirsty, all of the time. I can’t even tell you how much water I drink in a day. It’s a lotttttt. And it also feels like it’s never enough.
I had my Baby Shower #2 (aka the “friends/co-ed baby shower”) this weekend! It was SO MUCH FUN. I just love my sweet friends to death. Daddio came, too, and Zack’s parents and brothers were there, and it was just a collection of some of my most favorite people on the planet all together to celebrate this little boy. To say I felt loved is the understatement of the year. And this little one? He has a lot of admirers already, and he isn’t even here yet! Makes my heart very happy. And I could get real, real sappy over here, but I’ll leave it at that. :) And pictures, of course.
Yup, it was a good ‘un.

Omg you’re so cute! I think you have some of the best pregnancy style I’ve seen in a long time. Love the dress, love the hat! This next few weeks will be uncomfortable, I’ve heard, but you will get through it!
Katie
Aw you’re so sweet!! :) I’m already feeling a bit uncomfortable, so I can only imagine!

Bailey
You look so happy and gorgeous! Is it strange to feel him moving around inside of you?? Does it ever make you feel kind of weird??
Katie
Girl. It is sooooo strange! Like, can you imagine, a tiny being inside your stomach making all these crazy movements and punches and kicks and whatnot?! It’s definitely a trip! But I love it all the same! :)

Bailey
I cannot imagine at all! HAHA it’s one of the things I get anxious about, when thinking about what it would be like to be pregnant. I’m worried that it’ll really freak me out to feel a baby moving around inside of me!! Like it would give me panic attacks or something!
Amber
You’re in the home stretch, 36 weeks! So happy you had such lovely showers. Isn’t it a special feeling that your baby is loved already by so many?!
I remember my little girl getting hiccups so often and it would keep me awake at night!
Katie
YES, it is the best feeling knowing how loved he already is!! :) His hiccups have definitely been keeping me up, too!
