How far? 36 weeks, 5 days
Total weight gain: about 25 lbs (I have now met my "goal"...3 weeks early. Go me.)
Maternity clothes? Obvi. I live for my skirts and dresses since it's finally gotten a little too warm for jeans on most days. I've also realized I can still wear some of my shorts with the help of the belly band (with the buttons) I have. That little invention has really redeemed itself. It probably helps that I figured out how to wear it correctly. So there's that.
Baby purchases: I've had a few more baby showers and am so close to having everything we need! This little boy is so loved and I'm really grateful for all of our friends and family that have been so extremely thoughtful. I really means a lot! We also bought the stroller and car seat because apparently no one wants to drop hundreds on that stuff for us. :) I love it all and CAN'T WAIT to put it all to use!
A few more shower pics to come, but these are from the one my dad's side of the fam threw me. It was so cute and so much fun!! I have the best family.

Switched my mom out for my Aunt Brenda ^^^
Food cravings: I still don't get super hungry that often and don't eat a ton except for on certain occasions (such as going to a buffet...I make it work). I was randomly craving Arby's last week but never got it...I just don't know I really believe in this whole pregnancy craving thing. It's a conspiracy.
Wedding ring on or off? It still fits the same!
Moods? Good and awesome. I did lose my favorite pen today and I'm still extremely upset about it. But I don't know if I can blame that on the pregnancy. I would probably be as mad either way. IT WAS MY FAVORITE.
What I miss: Breeeathing. For the past month or so I've been super congested basically at all times that is always worse at night. So pair that with the fact that my lungs get completely squished when lying down and it's a pretty big struggle to fall asleep lately! I've started to fall asleep basically sitting all the way up in bed since that's the only way. I honestly think I would trade this congestion symptom for having morning sickness...the grass is always greener? And if you were wondering...Arm & Hammer Simply Saline spray is a hoax. I was really excited for it too! I definitely need to move onto the hard stuff (Benadryl?) now but have yet to do so. I have no one to blame but myself.
What else is new? I know he's been moving a lot for a while, but the past few days I really think he's been competing in the karate gymnastics finals. It's a thing. I've felt an entire leg (I'm guessing) sticking out among many fists and feet. It's the craziest thing ever and it really never gets old. Colby is still never around when the really big stuff is happening though. It's usually when I'm at work and I have to fight just sitting there and staring down at my belly to watch the show.
The top half of my belly button and the top half only is now an outie. Needless to say I'm kind of a freak show.
And my belly measurement at the doctor's was smaller this week than it was last week. I even went after lunch! Please don't let him be shrinking...I know those measurements are pure science.
I don't really use blankets at night and I actually want the air conditioner to be on which never happens. But I still freeze to death at work.

Looking forward to: My last shower this weekend and making sure I have everything I need once and for all! I'm so excited to feel ready (stuff wise) and then get to cleaning/organizing/sitting on my butt and waiting for this boy!
