How far along?
35 weeks 6 days (pictures are from 35 plus 5 days)
Total weight gain/measurements:
I'm up 24 lbs and my belly is 39.5” around.
Maternity clothes:
I bought two more summer dresses. They are both short, meaning
around knee-length. So now I have two short dresses and two long
dresses. I'm pretty much only wearing pants when I have to go to an
appointment (because getting your belly poked and prodded is a little
easier with pants).
Stretch marks:
Still none.
Sleep:
I seem to get a lot of sleep about every third day. Then I'll be a
total insomniac for a couple days and then finally I'll be so tired
that I'll be able to sleep it off.
Best moment this week:
Realizing that we are pretty much ready for the baby to come. We
still have a few more things to buy and a few more things to set up
but really if we don't get to them and the baby just showed up now,
we'd be fine.
Miss anything?
I'm starting to miss being not-pregnant. I'm not completely sick of
it yet but the novelty of it all has long worn off and now at just
about 9 months pregnant I'm kind over it. I think that's a sign that
it's almost over. :)
Movement:
Still lots of movement. I think there is a little arm that jabs me
on one side a lot and then there are little feet and a butt ramming
up into my ribs a lot. That doesn't hurt but it feels really strange
to have your ribs pushed on from the inside.
Food Cravings:
Food. Give me all of the food.
Anything making you queasy or sick?
Not sick, just heartburn. And it's nothing specific, even water
feels like it's coming back up...there is just no room anymore!
Gender:
I've settled on a guess now. I'm not telling what my guess is, but
when the baby is born, I'll let you know if I guessed right or wrong.
Ha ha!
Labor signs:
No signs of actual labor. Braxton Hicks contractions are still
happening. It's definitely every day now and some days I have a few
of them.
Symptoms:
I've noticed my hands and feet are swelling when it's hot and most
days in the evening. I'm also having a hard time staying in one
position for very long. It's like when you have restless legs but
it's my whole body. I need to get up and move around but then I
can't do that for that long either so then I have to find a
comfortable position and then change and then move around again.
Belly button in or out?
Out.
Wedding rings on or off?
On but it's a little bit of a struggle to get them back off at night.
Happy or moody most of the time:
Whoa this week. In terms of pregnancy I've been happy. In terms of
life in general, this has been a tough week. I'm really trying to
keep the stress away from me. I've been trying to keep stressful
conversations to a minimum and I barely want to even talk about
pregnancy anymore. I actually had a long conversation with a cousin
the other day and we only talked about him, which was AMAZING! :) So
I guess my emotions this week are pretty mixed.
Looking forward to:
Going to a baby shower for one of my cousins! This is baby heavy
summer in my family. Two have already been born and there are two
more to go (including mine)!
Thanks for reading!
