35 weeks down 5 to go!!!

August 28, 2012

Week 35

Pregnancy Highlights: 

Baby Size: 18 inches honeydew melon 5.25lbs (not much room for him in there at this point)

Maternity Clothes: yes and no but honestly living in sweatpants just for the comfort!

Stretch Marks: Nope and Hope to Avoid

Gender Predictions: BOY BOY BOY

Movement: its starting to become a different type of movement! (pushing out) And maybe less but still has his few times during the day where he is all over

Sleep: good and rough nights

What I miss: what most woman miss when they are prego –body, sleeping on belly, etc.

Food Cravings: sweets –but I do not have much of an appetite this last week as normal

Symptoms: heartburn! But after seeing Dr Lutter she gave me some stronger medicine then just tums and I have yet to have it sent (THANK THE LORD) bc that was HORRIBLE!!!! L  

I should just start living in the bathroom as I thought I peed a lot before! ‘a lot’  has been brought to a whole new meaning!!!

Weight Gain: fluctuates between +23-27

Emotions: tired most day with the occasional few days of “nesting” where I have cleaned things that normally do not get cleaned but felt it necessary to deep deep clean (couch, blinds, baseboards, and more) first time I have actually felt the nesting syndrome

Belly Button: still can’t decide if it wants to stay and inn or pop out depends on the day and time

Best Moment this week:  Seeing Dr. Lutter after all the new symptoms that started last week and being reassured that I am not in pre term labor! Checked my cervix and it is still firm and closed (Thankful!!!)

What I’m looking forward to: being 40 weeks already so I can have and meet this baby boy

What I’m NOT looking forward to: actual delivery/ knowing when to go to the hospital/ the “unknown” pain of labor

Milestone: Most of his basic physical development is now complete--- he’ll spend the next few weeks putting on weight (and mommy too I’m sure)

Labor signs: 5 more weeks … Have started having Braxton Hicks contractions daily

Week 35 Picture:

12 weeks vs 35 week Belly fun to compare

Official coming home outfit (we decided last week but I dont think that I posted it) this outfit screams Daddy's little boy 

She went from claiming the changing pad for weeks and weeks to now this last week his crib ---I sure hope she likes to share
