How far along? 36 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: shockingly, no weight gain this week. :-) Hopefully he's gaining while I'm losing!
Maternity clothes? yes. sufficiently tired of them.
Stretch marks? Nope, thankfully!
Sleep: EEEEK. Still no sleep!
Best moment this week: Well, at week 35 the best moment was when Dr. Brandner told me there's no way I'll last until my due date. I was 1 cm dilated and baby's head is definitely low. Then week 36 came and Dr. Barefoot was far less promising... so you can guess which doctor I currently prefer. :)
Movement: yes but he is definitely finding that he is less room these days
Food cravings: none to speak of...
Gender: BOY. Yay!
Name: Elijah.... and his middle name is Dutch after my grandfather.
Labor Signs: 1 cm. 50 % effaced, head is low (not sure what the official number is in terms of stations)
Belly Button in or out? flat. neither in or out?
What I miss: shaving my legs with ease!
Milestones: Weeks 36-37 are considered "full-term." It's wonderful to know that he would be healthy and safe if I had him now. We do want him to get a bit fatter before he comes, though!

hang in there! the last four weeks are definitely the toughest! You feel like you will be pregnant forever!
No discouragement but you can be 1cm for a longggg time. Or you can do what I did and go from 0 to 7 in a matter of a day (which is unheard of it pregnancy #1!)
PS do you have Baby 411? Great book. So is Baby Bargains if you don't have everything yet.
Praying these next four weeks FLY by with ease! Love you!
