36 weeks seriously??

Pregnancy has flown by and in less than a month we will have our baby here!! We have been going to the doctor weekly now and she's getting to be a big woman!! Last Monday (with 5 weeks to go) she measured 6lbs 12oz!! My doctor suggested that I be induced at 39 weeks so I don't have a ten or eleven pound baby!!
How far along: 36 weeks!
Total weight gain: don't judge, 30 lbs!
Sleep: becoming more uncomfortable! She hates when I sleep on my left side which only leaves my right side and then my right hip hurts! I only have to get up once during the night to pee so that's nice! I think it's because I already have a nurses bladder!
Best moment this week: seeing her in the ultrasound, my doctor suggesting to start me early!! Getting all her stuff set up and ready to go, swing, bouncer, playpen, carseat, crib! We've had generous friends and family who have given us all this stuff!!
Miss anything: my normal sized ankles! They're huge by the time I get home!
Movement: constantly especially in my ribs!
Food cravings: everything
Anything make you queasy or sick: I've had acid reflux pretty bad and there are weird things that trigger it, mainly fruit and things with a lot of butter! Weird!
Symptoms: awful acid reflux! Hopefully that means she'll have lots of hair!!
Belly button in or out: out!
Biggest fear for the future: being unprepared for her arrival, getting everything ready, too many babies being born this summer so having to wait to be induced a couple days!! Here's a huge belly sitting by the pool last week! Can't wait to meet our little brink!!
