'heads' are rolling and stretching in my womb (yes that was my attempt at a witty joke.....no I'm not mad if you didn't laugh at it.)

How far along: 36 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: loss of 20 lbs

Sleep: very restless, full of odd and vivid dreams

Best moment this week:

Movement: yup, Odin's big on trying to stretch in space where there is none left.

Food Cravings: Ice water, lots of ice water. And honeycrisp apples....I think I've eaten like 3 in the past two days.

Food Aversions: eggs, don't like the smell.

Gender: boy

Labor Signs: braxton hicks, but no real contractions yet.

Belly Button in or out: still an innie

What I miss: uninterrupted sleep.

What I'm looking forward to: Not sure much more than actually getting to hold Odin

Weekly Wisdom: planning is so important before hand because all plans fall apart after the birth.

Milestones: Odin is now about 6 lbs and around 18 1/2 inches long, which is about the size of a head of romaine lettuce.

Odin should now be facing 'head down' and by the end of this week will be considered 'early term' (which used to be full term when I was preggers with Loki, but they have new research and studies to say that the majority of the really good brain development happens in the last few weeks, so they try to keep the babies in as close to the 40 weeks as possible now)
