36 weeks pregnant

We are in the 36th week of our pregnancy and Ezra is now 18.66 inches long, about the size of the head of a romaine lettuce, and he weighs approx 5.78lbs! Ezra is getting lower and lower in my pelvis, getting ready to make his big appreciation. Apparently he wasn't engaged at our recent midwife appointment so he still has a little bit to go yet. This is the last week that he will be considered pre-term, so he could come any time after this week.

I have defiantly started nesting, which is strange because when I was pregnant with Amelia, I
didn't nest until we actually got home from the hospital after I had her. I hate cleaning, and anybody that knows me will know that - but for the last 3 days I picture cleaning in my mind and things that need to be done, and once I start I just can't stop. Although it's great that I'm doing this stuff, I've been suffering with lack of sleep and I've been doing so much recently, so I keep feeling really faint and run down.

My hormones are kicking in now too. It's most probably not helping that I'm so tired all of the time, and my eyes are watering anyway where they are sore from me rubbing then, but I keep feeling so fed up of being pregnant and having a little cry to myself. I also noticed that my fingers and feet have swollen up, as my hand starting going numb where my ring was too tight so I had to force it off. I'm still suffering with the heartburn, headaches, back pain and cramps so nothing has changed there, and even though baby is getting lower I still don't feel like my heartburn or breathing is improving. I'm now getting pains in my pelvis where he is moving down and sometimes it's hard to walk/move around.

I've starting guessing what my labour will be like - I'm sure he is going to come early, and I feel like it's going to be quite a quick labour. I have no idea why, it's just an instinct that I feel. As long as I make it to the hospital then I don't mind!
