Week 36

I did a complete 180 in the last week. I want the baby to come now. No more, “oh I want the bay to come in the last week of August”.  Baby.  Must. Arrive. Now. The extra weight that I’ve gained in the last 2 weeks (probably 5lbs) has really put an additional stress on my back. My back hurts a lot now a days. Saturday night I must have sat funny for like 2 minutes and my back gave out and was stiff for a day. Sleeping was uncomfortable and even walking was uncomfortable. I noticed if I sit in a place for too long it becomes stiff again.

During last week’s doctor’s appointment the doctor told me that she thinks the baby is probably 6lbs at that point and might be 8-8.5 lbs at birth. That’s kinda scary. That’s a big baby. Little butter ball. We have an ultrasound this Friday to see how big the baby is and it might give us a better understanding of baby’s potential birth weight. It will be the first time Anand will see the baby on the black and white screen. He’s super excited.

Since last week- Prashanthi welcomed a baby boy, Niam Pranan Docca, on Sunday. Hetal welcomed a baby girl this morning, Sanya. I slightly got jealous when I heard Hetal had a baby girl because I still think it's a boy we are having. Disclaimer - I will be happy with a boy or a girl.

Here's the last picture (unless we go past my due date) of yours truely at 36 weeks *small weep*:
