35 weeks!

 

How far along: Almost 35! A little early, but that's alright. I can't believe how close it is getting!

Total weight gain: So far I've gained about 4 pounds. I feel like in just the last week though that I have doubled in size. Getting big!

Size and growth of the baby: Just over 5 pounds and 18 inches long!

Sex: Boy!

Maternity clothes: Everything!

Sleep: My prayers have been answered! I have been sleeping much better the last week or so...a lot less evening nausea and only really getting up to pee :) yay!

Best moment(s) of the week: I am so thankful to be feeling better! We are also really enjoying our birthing classes :) They are so fun! And watching my precious Matt Pat is even more fun. For those of you that know him well you know he has this odd quirk that whenever someone is in pain or he sees or hears them talking about it, he reverts that onto himself.  So of course this happened while talking about the different pain management techniques and the epidural, and he ended up being "paralyzed" from the waist down...and turned really white, and then the whole rest of the evening and the drive home he was complaining about his legs aching and being numb and tingly. Seriously. He's so weird cute.

Movement: A lot. We had a little scare earlier in the week...and I ended up in the hospital being monitored...and he was moving like crazy! I loved seeing it displayed on the monitors, and then he got the hiccups too...so cute! I also can't say he isn't in my ribs anymore, because he has been. Just a few times and only on my right side, but now I know why people say it is so uncomfortable.

Food cravings/aversions: This week has been better :) Able to eat a little more than oranges! Still on the ice kick though. I'm making Snickerdoodle bread right now :) Never had it before, but it sounds yummy!

Morning sickness: Much better than last week :)

Symptoms: Lately it feels like my pelvis is being ripped apart :/ kinda odd. My doctor said its because the baby is dropping. Already?! This is really happening!

Labor signs: Nope. Other than the pelvis thing.

Belly button in or out:  Its getting there. Depending on the clothes I wear you can sometimes see the top part poking out :)

What I miss: Being able to do everyday things. Putting on socks, tying shoes, rolling over in bed...its all so difficult and I am so out of breath after such a simple task!

What I'm looking forward to: Having this little guy! Only a few more weeks! I also found out I get to have another ultrasound...which I am SO excited for! I can't wait to see his little face again and how much it has changed :)
