Size of baby: for weeks 33 to 36 (month 8) the baby is the size of a honeydew
Average size is 17.2-18.7 inches and between 4.2 and 5.8 pounds!!
We'll find out tomorrow how much she really weighs (estimated, of course)

Total weight gain/loss: +27
I have been consistently gaining about a pound and a half a week for the last few weeks. This is not good, as rapid weight gain can also mean issues or be a sign of preeclampsia. I'm not eating any worse. If anything I'm eating better/healthier. Ugh.
Maternity clothes: bed rest means maternity pajamas and comfy clothes!
Gender: It's a girl! Olivia Grace is on her way!
Movement: Yep. It's about the same. She doesn't seem to be doing her midnight dance parties anymore though.
Sleep: I had some insomnia at the beginning of the week, but did pretty good toward the end
What I miss: SODA!
Cravings: sweets, fruit, McDonald's (which I've been avoiding because of the sodium)
Symptoms: swelling, restless leg syndrome, back and neck pain, some cramping and sharp pains which my doctor said was normal
Fun Purchases: I purchased the last of my hospital bag needs--yoga pants, nursing tank, travel size face wash
Surprises: being put on partial bed rest!
Best Moment this week: Hanging out with new friends (who are also pregnant) who are a lot like us. It's a good match. They are having a little girl too. How perfect!
