36 weeks! (almost)

Tomorrow (5-17-12) I will be 36 weeks! It's so hard to believe I'm already 9 months pregnant!!!! My pregnancy has gone by so quickly and I have enjoyed every minute of it--even the sickness at the beginning because I knew that meant Jellybean was in good health! I think I'm going to miss my baby bump....maybe not the difficulty breathing or bending over...but just feeling her move inside because it is unlike any feeling I've ever experienced and I love it! That being said I'm SO excited to meet her and hold her on the outside in my arms. I'm always wondering who she's going to look like and what kind of personality she will have and if she'll be a good sleeper and eater! ;-) I just hope Justin and I will be good parents and

Since I'm now 9 months along--only 4 more weeks to go--give or take...I figured we would take some guesses on when our Jellybean would arrive, how much she will weigh and how long she will be. Unlike my dear friend Erin, there won't be prizes awarded....Just the bragging rights of being the closest! :-) Sorry. If you want prizes go guess Davin's birth over at the Halsey Hallway!

To help you make your decision here is some info. you  might find helpful:

This is my first baby! :-)

Jellybean's due date is June 14th.

As of now she is head down! Let's hope she stays that way!

At our last ultrasound at 30 weeks they estimated her to weigh 3lbs 12oz.

At our apointment today my belly was measuring between 35-36 weeks--so pretty much right on time!

The next full moon will be June 4th.

Jellybean is quite active. She seems to move the most at night when I'm resting on the couch or in bed.

I had some braxton hicks contractions around 33 weeks but nothing since.

My pregnancy has been pretty uneventful which I'm thankful for!

I was 7lbs 11oz and 20 inches long and was born at 3:25 PM. I was 10 days late but mom barely got to the hospital in time and my dad was 5 minutes late!

Justin was 7lb 8 oz and 20 inches long and born 3 days early at 10:37 AM.

So leave your guesses in the comment section! I'm anxious to see what everyone thinks and who will be the closest!


I'll leave you with my latest picture taken at 35 weeks:
