Also, due to the sheer volume of clothing and not much of the items I needed, I got to exercise my own shopping muscles and ended up dropping about $300 on necessities, which hurt the bank just a bit, considering I'll be on half my salary really soon! But I think I have just about everything I need now, at least for the early months. He'll still need a jolly jumper or something, and I'll need to pick up some 6+ months clothing.
As soon as my diaper bag comes in the mail (today?) I will pack everything up for the hospital - 4 weeks left!
How far along: 35 weeks
Due Date: March 17, 2020, 39 weeks - Cesarean is BOOKED! We have to be there at 11 am.
Baby is the size of a(n): Spaghetti Squash
Total weight gain/loss: Around 20 lbs - I think I'm as heavy as I was around this time with Morgan, but was heavier when I conceived this time, so I gained less overall.
The Bump: Growing and huge.
Symptoms/How I'm feeling: Pretty rough - he's moving a lot, which hurts, and has moved into a transverse position, which is also painful!
Food Cravings/Aversions: Cravings: Carbs. Cookies. Carbs. I really need to reign that in this week.
Sleep: Bad. I wake up several times a night to pee and hip pain is back.
Weddings Rings On or Off: On. The swelling from last week has gone down.
Exercise: Just walking. Slowly.
Any Names Picked Out Yet: Yes. Not telling.
Gender: Boy!
Movement: Lots, ow.
Maternity Clothes: 100% and they're a little short/snug.
Labor Signs: some, BH contractions. There have been some moments where I've wondered if I'm dilating.
What I miss: my body. Not that I will have it back entirely, but just being me.
Best Moment of the Week: My last day of work! Also had my baby shower - tons of clothes, which is really sweet but I ended up having to drop about $300 on all the things I really did need on my registry!
What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Having a baby!
