Lima Bean: Week Thirty Six




How far along: Thirty six weeks as of Wednesday, June 18, 2014. 
Size of baby: Lima Bean is over 18.5 inches from head to heel, the size of a head of romaine lettuce, and weighs almost 6 pounds. 
Maternity Clothes: Of course.
Movement: Lima Bean is a mover and a shaker!
Sex of baby: It's a girl!
Sleep: Starting to have sleep issues--just waking up too often and have some trouble getting back to sleep.  I did not have this problem in Henry's pregnancy, so it's a bit of a bummer.  Plus, I managed to get poison ivy on my right arm (I think from Rowan--thanks, Rowan), and it woke me up itching for a few days.
What I miss: The freedom to eat whatever I want.
Cravings: Salads still.  At least it's a healthy craving!
Symptoms: Starting to feel exhausted all of the time.  Also, I am generally uncomfortable and have more aches and pains than ever before.
What I'm looking forward to: Meeting Lima Bean soon!

Extras: No progress at the appointment this week.  It's safe to say I was disappointed, even though I don't want Lima Bean to arrive for another couple of weeks.  I had been having some shooting pains low in my abdomen and I thought they were a sign that Lima Bean was starting to consider coming.  But nada.  I felt discouraged, but at least I have another few weeks to go to make some progress.
