35 Weeks!

These are awful and crooked and my bump looks gigantic- my apologies I was in a huge hurry today.
I'm also rocking a pre-baby shirt because 80 degrees here with full humidity so I needed something for work that I wouldn't die in. 

How Far Along:  

  35 weeks 3 days- less than 5 weeks or 32 days!

 

Baby Size:  

Large cantaloupe- approx 19-22 in long and around 5-6lbs

 

Total weight gain/loss:  

Fluctuating around 30-33lbs   

 

Exercise: 

I'm still walking 1-2 miles every day and trying to get a long one in on the weekends. If Layla wasn't a crazy energy filled 9 month old puppy I'm not sure I would be doing this so I thank her for forcing me to walk this much! I think the walking is helping with my swelling, my mood, and my sanity! I plan to keep it up as long as I possibly can. 

 

Maternity Clothes: 

Yes probably 90% of the time- I can still wear non maternity dresses and yoga pants 

 

Stretch Marks:

So far so good, I'm getting nervous for these last few weeks though

 

Sleep: 

 I'm still not a fan of sleeping but I think my body is starting to adjust to the lack of sleep.  I am usually up at least 2-3 times to use the bathroom and then I probably wake up another 2-3 times to change sides because my hips hurt so much.    

 

Best Moment of the Week: 

 I can't think of one thing in particular but I'm just trying to enjoy these last few weeks of pregnancy and my life as I know it.  I know it's all going to change soon and in some ways I think I'm going to miss feeling Baby Boy's movements.    

 

Miss Anything: 

 Just the usual: pre-baby body, alcohol, and raw tuna 

 

Movement: 

Yes lots of large movements- I think he's starting to run out of room in there 

 

Food Cravings: 

I still like hot and spicy but nothing I'm really craving and have to have.  I am actually sick of ice cream- I NEVER thought I would say that but I'm not in the mood for it at all.

 

Symptoms: 

-Sore hips

-can't tie my shoes without sitting down

-heartburn/indigestion

-getting hot easily- so happy I'm due in June- I feel for all you August and September mamas- I'm not sure I could make it through the summer heat

-a huge belly that gets in the way of everything 

- my swelling has been really good the past week- I've barely had any.  I'm not sure if it's all the walking or my diet but either way I'll take it

-my Mom thinks my belly has dropped a bit- not all the way but she says it looks much lower than it has

Anything making your queasy or sick: 
Nothing in particular but my heartburn has been bad- even my prenatal vitamins are giving me heartburn

 

Have you started to show yet: 

Yes 

 

Gender:

Boy!

 

Labor Signs: 

Nope 

 

Belly Button- In or Out?:

It's pretty much flattened out- I don't think it's going to pop out though 

 

Wedding Rings- On or Off?:

On

 

Happy or Moody?:

Feeling pretty good this week. I've barely had any swelling so I'm not feeling too uncomfortable which is nice.  I've been feeling really good after my walks and I've stopped my ice cream habit which I think is helping. 

 

Looking forward to:

  Putting the final touches on the nursery!  I'm waiting on some stuff I've ordered and I picked up a bunch of things this week. I can't wait until it's complete.
