Almost DONE!!! WAHOO! I am soooo ready for this pregnancy to be over and I still have 5 weeks. Let's just say I hope I get to deliver early. Baby girl's kicks are now painful instead of sweet and my Braxton Hicks Contractions are KILLING ME. My baby is measuring big so hopefully that is the case. I have my appointment next week where they will let me know more about my delivery and labor options so I am ready for that. Wishful thinking I know but I need to stay positive about something at this point.
How far along? 35 Weeks
Maternity clothes? MOST DEFINITELY.. even my maternity pants are getting tight. I spend most of my time in pajamas.
Stretch marks? EVERYWHERE! I made it safely to 32 weeks with only a few minor stretch marks, but in the past few weeks they have sprouted EVERYWHERE. ALL over my stomach, my legs and my hips.. It's all good though, if only they would stop itching....
Sleep: I am waking up pretty regularly for pee runs. Other than that I am sleeping pretty good. Either that or I am just used to waking up and have gotten pretty good at falling back asleep. Either way I adore my sleep and have been getting 8+ hours a night so I will count that as a victory.
Best moment this week: Conner has been coming home for lunch this week and I have really enjoyed the extra 30 minutes that I get to spend with him. After 6 months of having my husband putting most of his energy into work/school it is AMAZING to finally have the man I married back. Best moment this week has been that I realized I have just a little over a month left! YAY!!!!
Miss Anything? my comfort and energy.. This week I have been really wanting to get up and start exercising.. then about 5 seconds into that idea I am already exhausted. I just feel like a bump on a log. For an active energetic person to lose their energy and oomph is just not right.
Movement: She loves to play with Daddy. Everytime he touches my stomach or talks to her she goes absolutely NUTS. It is the most tender thing ever.
Food cravings: Drumsticks.. the ice cream kind. I bought a box of them on Tuesday and they are gone.. WHOOPS! Conner might have helped me but shhhhhhh. Still craving salad and buffalo wings as well and crunching ice is my favorite eating activity lately.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Just over-eating.
Gender: Girl.
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks all the time, but no pattern so I guess that means no.. :(
Symptoms: Heartburn, back pain, Braxton Hicks, Itchiness on my stretch marks and being the size of a whale. - i know, it's only gonna get worse.
Belly Button in or out? Neither, it's just chillin at flat mode.. unless I laugh, then it pops out a little. Conner thinks it is creepy. hahaha
Wedding rings on or off? on. Only a little swelling on my ankles but none on my hands. THANK HEAVENS
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy but still crying over everything. I have been better at learning to control it.. kinda.
Looking forward to: My baby showers!! They are next week and I am so excited to eat yummy food and get ready for something. Also it means that baby girl is ALMOST HERE!! I cannot wait.
