36 weeks & Busy As Can Be

Can you believe I am only two days shy of being 36 weeks!? I can't. It's just crazy how soon he will be here.

We've been extremely busy lately and on the go non-stop. I don't know how we have found time to finish the nursery between sporting events, family in town, showers, work and other miscellaneous things.

I went to my first Sporting KC game last week. It was quite the experience. The score ended at 2-2, and that was it. I was confused by that, but I guess that's just soccer. My favorite part were the fans. Soccer fans are SO loud and energetic. The entire game. I also enjoyed watching "The Cauldron" section. And the suite we were in thanks to Brian's company. I indulged on pretzel sticks with cheese, chicken wings and an ice cream bar. Baby K was in heaven.

Here's a few pics from some other things we have been up to:

How about them cats? Ranked 11? Unbelievable.

The Royal is always a great time. I didn't get to partake in the beer and dance party, but it was a good time. The smell of my clothes and hair when we got home was all to familiar to college...specifically Pats.

Mmm...beer. Root beer that is. I had never been to Noodles & Company before, so we tried it last week. I was stoked they had Root Beer in a bottle!

At class last week, the guys got to try out "The Empathy Belly." It's supposed to give them an idea of what the gals are going through. A body suit that weighs 25 pounds. LOL. Brian was a trooper. 

Belly to Belly pic. I look Chinese. I was laughing so hard because the body suit looked so small on him compared to some of the other guys.

And...here's a 35 week pic, with our new awesome stroller!

I don't know how my husband seems to always get his way talk me into purchasing something different than what we had planned, but it seems to happen a lot. See everyone, I'm not as bossy and dominant as you all think!? LOL.

Anyways, we went to the store to get our stroller/car seat travel system and ended up leaving with something completely different than what we had planned. I will say that Brian is extremely functional and always looks at the parts and pieces of things. This stroller was way more compact, lighter, and a lot easier to fold up.

I suggested we put Jake in it and give it a whirl around the block, but Brian didn't let me. He's a fun hater sometimes.

How far along: Almost 36 weeks
Size of Baby K (according to Baby Center): 6 pounds, 18 and 1/2 inches long
Fruit/vegetable comparison (according to Baby Center): Crenshaw melon...whatever that is
Total weight gain: Probably 25
Sleep: Getting better, but I now get up about every 2.5 hours to go to the bathroom. It's just preparing me for when he is here!
Movement: Still active. He is head down and should stay that way. The doc said it would be hard from him to make a turn at this point.
Unglamorous body changes: Some stretch marks just started popping up. Seriously. I am not happy.
Food cravings: Nothing in particular these days. Still just ice and anything cold. 
What I miss: Being able to easily pick my self up off the floor or get out of bed. It's so hard these days!
Strange experiences: Stares from strangers. It's quite odd...haven't you ever seen a pregnant lady before?
Milestones: At the end of week 36, I will be considered full term.
Best moment this week: Feeling accomplished. We have just about everything ready and it feels so good.
