How Far Along: 35 weeks
Total weight gain: 24lbs (only 2 lbs in the last 2 weeks so I'm pretty happy with that!)
Sleep: Got a charlie horse last night :( But good overall!
What do you miss: My ribs not hurting and being able to breath after eating
Movement: He is most active in the mornings from 8-9:30 or so
Food cravings: nope. Well, actually chocolate chip cookies :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Only when I eat too much.
Symptoms: Heartburn, occasional irregular contractions, hips starting to hurt, ribs are sore, can't breath too well after eating a big meal, ummm I think I'm feeling pretty pregnant these days :)
Belly button in or out? Still in.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time: I was anxious last week after finding out he could pretty much come anytime (midwives won't stop ctx after 34 weeks), but we made a to-do list and got quite a bit done, and I feel much more confident.
Best part of the week: Not this week, but the one before, the shower was awesome!!! Got to see lots of people which was great, and got lots of cool stuff :) This week, my Uncle Jeff was in town from California so we got to visit with him which was really nice, we don't get to see him enough!
Looking forward to: Meeting Oliver!
I am in the "gray period" now where the midwives are no longer at their old office, but aren't seeing patients at the new office until March 15 (next Fri). My appt is March 19th. So, if something were to happen between now and then, I would need care from the Dr at the old office since the MWs can't treat you at the hospital until you've been seen by their practice. So, I certainly hope nothing "big" happens in the next week and a half! I will be 36w4d when I see the MW next, so I would feel pretty comfortable with things happening at that point. I'd be pretty much full term, and if he's ready, I think we'd be ready. ready as we can be at least :)
We started getting our "go bags" (hospital bags) ready this week. I picked up some nursing sleep bras and a nursing tank. I need to get some "real" nursing bras (daytime ones) but I think I need to wait until I know what size I will need. I hate spending $ on that kind of stuff.
So he's still head down as far as I can tell, and really very active. I thought he'd be slowing down by now but his morning aerobics are getting stronger every day it seems!!
At 35w, he is about 5.25lbs and 18". The size of a honeydew melon! Fully developed kidneys and his liver can process some waste products.
Getting close!
