36 weeks pregnancy update / ssw 36

I´ve had a baby party!!! :) So cute, my family surprised me on Sunday, when Nico and I came back from our coffee break at Coffee to Fly they were all sitting in our living room. It was such a nice surprise as baby parties are not widely spread yet in Germany and I love that my family has done it in this way! I was told that my 2-year old nice ran into the babies room and thought the baby was lying there on the changing table, so sweet - she cannot wait anymore, it all takes too long! :) ...and why are the grown-up´s talking about a baby party if there even is no baby?? Haha! :) Here are some photos of the set up and our presents.

The table decoration

A cute garland hung over the window front

I´ve always wanted to have one of these balloons!

So cute, almost all presents carry our little babies name on it!

Especially love this pillow with babies full name and an owl stitched on it.

This is a baby balm for very cold and windy weather.

We also got some 'canned' baby fruit food from alnatura and I got the breastfeeding juice for Mamas by Hipp.

We all touched glasses (or bottle) and drank alcohol-free champagne (or water). It was a wonderful sunny day and we went out for a late lunch to an italian restaurant. We ate outside on the terrace and it almost felt like a family holiday!  As there was a local street party going on we took a walk over the small festival. 

After we came home we´ve had this super cute and super yummy cupcakes made by my sister in law and a cup of coffee. I can hardly say what a wonderful day this was! Thank you!! <3

Other than that I slept a lot this week whenever I could find a time spot for it. I think my body might pre-sleep and try to get/save some energy before labor properly starts.

And I met a very old friend of mine this week and it was nice seeing her again and having time to talk about all the new things to come :)

How far along? Finished the 36th week and am now 10 months pregnant! This is so great, there were times during pregnancy where I thought I would´t come along so far. But the baby is now finished and is not an 'early bird' anymore.

Total weight gain: 16,4kg.
Bump measure: 102cm

Maternity clothes? Yes.

Stretch marks? No.
Fitness: I went to the yoga class this week.

Sleep: It´s perfectly okay during the night, but ontop of that I sleep much more now during the day as well.

Best moment this week: My baby party!!! <3

Miss anything? Shop and wear normal clothes!

Movement: Recognized it is less than before, but still a lot going on there inside me.

Food/cravings: Sweets! Chocolate & ice cream.

Anything making you quesy or sick? 

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: False labor.

Symptoms: I feel so tired, and exhausted, and immobile - so I really calmed down a bit this week and slept a lot. Still carry lots of water in my hands and feet which feels uncomfortable. I recognized my leg hair stopped growing or at least grows very slowly - but already for a longer period of time - I totally forgot to mention.

Belly button in or out? Stretched out.

Wedding rings on or off? Off.

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy.

Looking forward to: Seeing Lillian!
