these days with baby Z3.
we are t-minus four weeks to baby.we are currently t-minus three weeks to move in.do we think that we'll make move-in day with or without a baby outside of my body? it's anybody's guess! and if i was having a normal year, this would absolutely destroy me to my core, this whole not knowing where we'll be when baby comes. but after having two kids, and with how unplanned this whole year has been, i'm actually super relaxed about the whole thing. which is a miracle and i'm very thankful for it.so now we just go to the doctor every week and wait until we have a THIRD BABY in our arms. eek i can't believe it's happening so soon!

36 weeks with baby Z3.
how far along: 36 weeks (and i'm still actually 36 weeks until tomorrow, it's a pregnancy miracle!).i’m feeling: actually super pregnant. i hit this week and all of a sudden i was waddling and couldn't take full breaths, it just came out of nowhere. i'm not feeling super uncomfortable, just your typical 36 weeks pregnant uncomfortable.total weight gain: 22 pounds at my last appointment. my initial blood pressure was a little high at my appointment but i chalked it up to running in the door with two other kids and Mister Man being gone the whole two weeks prior. it was normal when they took it again so all is well.baby Z3’s size: this week, baby is the size of a head of romaine lettuce, about 6 lbs. and 18.5 inches long.this week: since we closed on the house, i've been meaning to start the nesting and meal planning but that has kind of taken a backseat to surviving solo parenting and organizing contractors for the house. so going to try it again this week.maternity clothes: this seems silly, but i have this one sweatshirt that isn't a maternity sweatshirt, it's from athleta and it's just super stretchy and baggy. it's all i want to wear for the next month.sleep: surprisingly good, although i feel like early morning insomnia is creeping in.best moment this week: i went to the chiropractor and it felt AMAZING. with both other pregnancies, i needed to go about two months earlier than this because i was so uncomfortable. this time around, i didn't really have to go but i wanted to start with about a month left so that everything could be in a good place for the birth. best decision ever and i can't wait for my other appointments.movement: as i write this, the baby is doing somersaults. it's a miracle that it's still head down based on how often it wriggles around.food cravings: unfortunately it's all i can do to get food in my body at this point. i'm definitely into dairy queen blizzards because ice cream is truly the easiest, highest calorie food for me now. i'm not craving it really, it's just easy to get down.food aversions: all food is mostly unappealing to me now, so i'm just trying to eat.belly button in or out: why i ever decided to include this in my updates, i will never know, because it's just stupid now. although my belly button is no longer flat, it's decided to go outie mode on me now, so...now you know!looking forward to: moving into our house! i am saying all of the prayers that we will be in before the baby comes. i will literally take one night there, that's all i want.
