9 Months
How far along: 36 weeks or 9 months in normal calendar days. (See: "Excuse Me, What? The Guide to Pregnancy in Weeks and Months" for an accurate description of how far along we are.)
Total weight gain: At my doctor appointment Tuesday I was still at 142, so I'm still up 30 lbs.
Maternity clothes: Same as last time. I'm still in both maternity and non-maternity clothes and even though I look huge, I am a small person naturally. My baby shower dress is actually a size 4 non-maternity. :)
Stretch marks: I still don't have any on my stomach or sides.
Sleep: I am still sleeping like a baby. The 3rd trimester has been so good to me on sleep.
Best moment this week: My baby shower, setting Annabelle's nursery up.
Miss Anything: I miss bending over, I miss putting my shoes on without holding my breath, I miss being able to walk for more than 15 minutes without my ankles swelling. I just can't wait for this pregnancy to be done.

Movement: Our precious baby girl likes to shift randomly. I feel her the most after drinking water and laying on my side.
Food cravings: I'm back on peanut butter and water.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not at the moment.
Have you started to show yet: If I had a dollar for every time someone said "You're so big" or "you're about to pop", I would be able to buy a cute pair of Payless shoes. :)
Name: Annabelle Emli (pronounced Em-lee) and her nickname is Belle, Cheeks, Baby Belle, Baby Bellerina, Baby Belly. I've called her all sorts of things.

Labor signs: When I am walking on the treadmill my stomach contracts and I always have to slow down.
Symptoms: Oh my goodness, do I have to list them all? Waddling, swollen everything, pregnancy brain, raging hormones, frequent bathroom breaks, and I'm sure there are more that I'm forgetting, but I guess that is what pregnancy brain does.
Belly Button in or out: I would say it's halvsies. Half in and half out. Mostly in though.
Wedding rings on or off: I still take it off while I sleep and by the time I'm dressed in the morning, it fits back on my finger..
Happy or moody most of the time: Half and half. I'm so uncomfortable all the time which makes me feel moody, but I am happy that I get to redecorate and have fun with the house.
Looking forward to: I am looking forward to finishing her nursery and preparing the house for her.
