The Scoop on the Stulaks: Pregnancy Highlights

Pregnancy Highlights of the Day

This was taken at my last week at work when I was 35 weeks

How Far Along: 36 Weeks 4 Days

Size of baby: A Watermelon! Definitely getting harder to get around these days!

Maternity Clothes: Dresses are my new best friend...with it being summer I have it pretty easy in not having to change my whole wardrobe to maternity clothes. Putting on a summer dress makes it easier for this momma-to-be.

Gender: GIRL! We had our last ultrasound appointment today before the big day and it is definitely confirmed that our little one is all GIRL!

Movement: Our baby girl moves around ALL THE TIME! I absolutely love it and in a weird way I will miss feeling those movements, but I know I will be way more excited to see her and hold her! She moves around so much you can see my stomach move around like a bunch of waves. It's amazing! Chris is always so amazed by it and I think it's the cutest thing to see him so excited! He is going to be a great dad :) Today at our ultrasound appointment it was confirmed that Maci is in the head down position which explains my ridiculous frequent bathroom trips and her back was facing outward and her face was facing inwards. No wonder I get these random poking out shapes around my belly...she is poking out her little tushy :) Since she was facing inwards we couldn't really get a view of her face...but that's okay because I know she just wants to make it a big surprise for when she decides to enter this world for her mommy and daddy.

Sleep: I am enjoying sleep for the most part. The only thing that is semi difficult when it comes to bed time is the bathroom trips I make through the night. She sure knows how to push on my bladder lol For the most part I am pretty comfortable if you don't steal my pillows from me ;) Pillows are this pregnant gals friend! With not working anymore, it works out really wells. I get to enjoy some nap time during the day.I can also sleep well knowing that I have our hospital bags packed and ready to go. The house is organized and ready for Maci to come home to. My mother has made meals that we are storing in the freezer and we can't thank her enough. They will come in handy for sure. Maci's nursery is completely finished and that makes me smile because I just want to sit back and enjoy the last couple weeks I get with the hubs before our lives change, in a good way of course!

What I miss: I currently don't miss anything.. but I will tell you what I'm glad has gone away..HEARTBURN! During this whole pregnancy, the only negative thing I have experienced is massive heartburn. Up until just last week my heartburn is not longer a problem. I mean this baby might come out looking like Rapunzel as much heartburn as I've had this whole pregnancy...lol Okay wait I lied...I do miss one thing..SUSHI! I am counting down the days till I can have me some atlantic rolls..yum.

Cravings: Grapes, Ice Cold Glasses of Water, Popsicles/Ice Cream...My doctor told me the other day that I am champ when it comes to maintaining good weight gain. She never has to get on me about if I gained too much or not enough..so that makes me happy when I still decided to indulge into a popsicle/ice cream on a hot summer day :)

Annoyances: Bathroom Trips...enough said!

With that said, I only have 3 more scheduled doctor appointments before little Maci makes her debut! She will then be partners in crime with this little fella.
