I know this is late as there has been a lot on my plate in the last few weeks. I am trying. I really am. 🙂 Plus I realize I forgot to take photo’s, so I am just using some we have taken around.
Weekly Updates:
How far along: 35 weeks (35/35 day!!! ~ 35 weeks down, 35 days to go)
Baby’s size: Honeydew Melon – Your baby, now as hefty as a honeydew melon at 5.25 pounds, doesn’t have much room to maneuver in your belly. Length: more than 18 inches, head to heel. {Of course, as of last week our baby was almost 7 pounds, so this is a little off, but more of a general idea.}
Sleep: It is getting harder as I am up almost every 90 minutes to go to the bathroom. EJ definitely does most of his moving around at night.
Maternity Clothes: Yup. I am starting to find out that I don’t fit in some of my maternity shirts. My belly sticks out under them, so I am slowly starting to become limited in what I can wear.
Food Cravings: Darrell has been making quite a few batches of chocolate chip cookies and they are sooo yummy!
Food Aversions: Slowly starting to be able to eat spicy which is nice, but I can’t eat everything yet. Chips and salsa are still out of the running 🙁
Symptoms I have: Heartburn, waddle, pelvic bone loosening up, and an unstable tummy table as baby is running out of room. 🙂
Doctor’s Appointment: Today we had one at the birth center and then our next one is on Monday since I am now on once a week appointments! I can’t believe we are that close already!
Movement: EJ is more active at night than in the morning. From the time I wake up until after dinner, I usually have to focus in order to feel him stretch and move around. After dinner though, it is like he is having a dance party and constantly moving around.
Belly Button: Level. Almost done! 😛
Gender: Boy!
What I’m looking forward to: Getting the diapers in the mail and then finally meeting this little human that has been cooking for 35 weeks!
What I miss: Being able to grab anything out of my closet and know that it fits. Plus my feet have grown a little bit and now I don’t fit in some of my shoes. 🙁
