35 Week Update!

It’s hard for me to believe that I’m already at 35 weeks!

This pregnancy seemed to just fly by.

Yesterday I had my check up and we’re now on weekly appointments. Dr thinks I just may not make it till the end of February, and neither do I.

So here goes, these photos are taken 1 day apart.

 

How far along? 35 weeks

Baby’s Size: according to babycenter.com about 5lbs and the size of a honeydew melon

Weight Gain: as of my apt yesterday dr is reporting 24 lbs. That is really different from my son where I had gained over 40 lbs.

Bellybutton: in but completely stretched out

Stretchmarks: thankfully none

Maternity Clothes: Yes definitely most of my clothes are maternity. The jeans in the first pix are just a larger size and not buttoned all the way up. I can still get away with some non-maternity clothes but I’m more comfortable in maternity wear.

Names: I guess! My husband said since I chose the name for our son then he gets to choose the name for this one. We tried and tried to come up with names together but we just can’t agree. He is holding firm on the name he chose and I’m pretty sure if nothing wow’s me and changes my mind before the big day, I’ll let him have it! haha

Gender: Well I have never officially announced what it is but if you follow me on instagram I’m sure you’ve figured it out. Stay tuned another week and I guess I’ll show you when I post pictures from our shower.

Movement: ooh yes, a lot, I’m getting my butt kicked! All up in my ribs and especially at night when I want to sleep!

Sleep: Speaking of sleep! hahaa…. eh, not enough. I’m so tired and exhausted by after lunch. Some nights I get a good sleep but most I’m up with either leg cramps or having to go to the bathroom or something.

Symptoms: I’m still very moody, very impatient. I get really bad indigestion almost every time I eat.

Food Aversions: I really haven’t had any.

Food Cravings: odd thing is just this past week I’ve been craving watermelon thanks to my neighbor! But it’s been too cold to find comfort in a cool juicy watermelon.

What I miss: Feeling normal!! I am so uncomfortable! I miss a good night’s sleep, I miss feet that don’t get swollen at the end of the day. I miss fitting into my clothes! I miss being able to eat like a normal person, right now I can eat only small portions every few hours. I miss being able to put shoes on and actually see my feet! hahaha

What I am Looking forward to: Our shower next week, I’m sure we’ll have a fun time getting together with our friends and family. Also just having the baby already! I’m so done.
