35 Weeks

 

 

 

 

How far along? 35 Weeks

Total weight gain: probably about 29 lbs...but will find out at my doctor's appointment on Thursday
Maternity clothes? oh yes - was so thankful that a dress I bought in February for our Arizona trip still fit for Easter Sunday.  Admittedly, it was a little casual for church...but I'm not planning on buying anything else at this point - so I made it work!
Stretch marks? of course - all below my belly button...but I'm still trying to not get overly crazy about them
Sleep: still sleeping like crap - between the restless right leg and the bathroom visits (thanks to my "ballooning uterus" cramping my other organs)...I'm getting up a couple times a night still.  Also - I've also turned into a drooler!  I never drooled before...but I constantly wake up in piles of my own drool.  It's so gross - but I'm not quite sure what to do about it ??
Best moment this week: getting more of our "wish cards" back in the mail - baby loves getting mail ;)  Also, we survived week number 4 of birth class and even got out early!  Rob also cleaned out/vacummed out my car and put the car seat and stroller frame in - looks so weird to see it in the rearview mirror.  Won't be long now...
Miss Anything? breathing, sitting & laying normally.... my wedding rings, having energy, and I saw a commercial for Summer Shandy beer and it made me REALLY miss beer.  Like a lot.
Movement: mostly wiggles these days.
Food cravings: applesauce, strawberries, chili cheese burritos from Taco Bell, and eggs!
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope
Gender: baby Hauck is a boy!
Labor Signs: nada
Symptoms: immobility and lately swollen feet and ankles.  My fingers looked like sausages today :)
Belly Button in or out? I don't know what to call it - nothing is really sticking out...it just looks flat and weird.
Wedding rings on or off? wedding band on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy - though we made a LOOOOONG to do list in the car driving to Dayton this weekend and that made me stress out a bit.  I'm hoping baby stays in there a couple more weeks because I want to cross a lot of these items off!
Looking forward to: getting a 36 week ultrasound on Thursday and seeing what baby boy's up to - finishing up birth class on Wednesday, and our one night breastfeeding class on Thursday evening. So much to learn still!  I'm also getting another pre-natal massage this weekend (thanks to a very generous birthday gift from Grandpa Jim and Grandma Sugar)!!!
