                              36 weeks with Baby Walker           36 weeks with Charlotte

Well the countdown is on.
I think I'm about the same size. Sitting low and pointy just like I was with Charlotte. I'm feeling huge and feel like NOTHING fits. I'm so sick of my clothes but refuse to buy anything new since I'm so close to having this baby. 
If she hasn't arrived yet, Baby Sister is scheduled to come December 3rd, 6:30 a.m.!!!
I can't believe she'll be here in three and a half weeks. I'm so ready to be done pregnant but I'll be honest I'm quite nervous about transitioning to two kids, and the sleep deprivation. 
My goal was to make it to 36 weeks with my running and I did it! And although I still feel good and could run, I'm having a hard time staying motivated to run. I've started walking and kept up my spinning and I'm sure I'll run a few more times before this babus comes, I just haven't been able to bring myself to do it this week. Ugh.
I'm heartburn free as long as I'm taking my prilosec consistently. This is a good and bad thing. I love not having heart burn but it also means I eat whatever I want. Not good. Where is my self control this pregnancy? Out the window, I tell ya!
Baby girl is measuring right on track and has a good solid heart beat. Hooray! I'm just beginning to dilate and I'm about 50% effaced. So some progress is being made with all the Braxton Hicks I'm feeling. 
Still undecided on a name. We have a couple we like and we'll just wait until we see baby girl to make the final decision. I felt so strongly that Charlotte was Charlotte, even though we had a couple of other names we were considering during pregnancy. I haven't felt that way with this baby. I'm hoping when she arrives, we'll just know and it will fit her perfectly. Wishful thinking? Probably. 
More than anything we are excited to meet this little baby. Charlotte at this point seems excited and ready to be a helper. We'll see how that goes when she realizes, mom can't be at her demand every second. We are thrilled both my mom and mother in law are coming to help! I know that will be a huge stress relief for all of us! 
Let's just get this babus here and let the fun begin right?

You say you feel huge, which I totally believe, but to all of us looking at the picture, I'd say you look more around 16 weeks. Seriously, you pull off pregnancy very very well. But I suppose if we all ran and did spinning up through 36 weeks, we'd look that good, too. :) Glad you are feeling wonderful. I wish I had swing suggestions for you, but Elliot hated being tied down in anything, so we never even tried a swing...
Enjoy your last few weeks with only one child! Crazy!!
