35 Weeks!

What an eventful week, comparatively. One, I finished work, which was an amazing and weird feeling. Two, I had my baby shower, which was bittersweet. I loved seeing everyone but I am really trying to tone down the clothes and such, and there were so many! It's okay though, the little guy is going to be the best dressed!

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!
