36 Weeks



How far Along: 36 weeks
How big is baby: between 17.2 and 18.7 inches, the size of a honeydew
Maternity Clothes: Yes, and sadly some of the shirts are getting a little short.  I really didn't realize how tiny my belly stayed during my pregnancy with Rachel.
Sleep: Great.  I had about 6 weeks of really rough sleep.  Pregnancy really exacerbates my asthma and for about a month and a half I was waking up gasping for air.  I was also really struggling to complete daily tasks until my doctors finally got me on the right meds.
Best Moment thus far: It is hard to pick just one.  Some if the highlights since my last update have been picking his name, being able to breathe again, seeing how excited Rachel is about her baby brother, and getting everything ready for his arrival.  In case you didn't notice in the picture we decided on the name Joel Brian Bjork.  Joel means "God be willing."  Joel was a minor prophet who wrote the book of Joel to warn the people of Judah about God's impending judgement because of their sin and to urge them to turn back to God.  Brian is obviously named after Brian, and in case you were wondering it means noble, strong, virtuous.
Miss Anything: Being able to reach my feet to buckle sandles or paint my toe nails.  Brian did an excellent job a couple days ago painting my toes.
Food Cravings: None
Anything make you queasy or sick: No
Symptoms: Overall I am feeling good, but I am starting to feel done with being pregnant.
Mood: Good
Looking forward to: Meeting Joel
