35 Weeks Pregnant


How far along? 35 Weeks
Total weight gain:  39 pounds
Maternity clothes? I can still fit into two pairs of my regular jeans if I do the hair elastic trick and wear the belly band over top. All of my non maternity sweaters still fit, as do my lululemons so I am just wearing the few things I got at Old Navy when I am feeling particularly giant.
Stretch marks? Still none on the belly, fingers crossed!
Sleep: At this point…sleep sucks. I have no trouble falling asleep it’s staying asleep that’s a pain in the butt. I’m up to pee every hour and a half and I wake up with a tight, tight tummy (Braxton Hicks) usually a few times too. Overall though I really can’t complain as I have gotten this far with few issues.
Best moment this week:  My baby shower. My amazing sister in law and mother in law planned me the best baby shower. It was so much fun and there were so many personal touches that just made the afternoon so special. Baby (and me!) got so spoiled and it was so nice to see everyone!!  My mom flew in especially for the shower and it was so nice to have her there and I’m already counting down the days until she’ll be back. There is something about sharing all these pregnancy moments with your momma that is so special.
Miss anything? Same as the last few weeks; feeling (and being!) more mobile.
Movement: I feel like it has slowed down a bit as baby sleeps for longer stretches and starts to run out of room.
Food Cravings: I am still a sugar fiend at this point.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Symptoms: Braxton Hicks, and just general soreness at the end of the day from dragging all this extra weight around.
Gender prediction: Well, the majority at my shower said they thought girl. My mom still thinks it’s a boy though. I will say girl (this week!) haha.
Labor signs: None yet. I will get checked next week to see if I am dilated at all or not and to double check the babe is head down. I hope he or she still is so that we are all ready to go when the big day comes!
Belly button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On, although I have to say that now my fingers do get a bit puffy from time to time.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy, and excited!
Looking forward to: Baby’s birthday. I’m so ready for it now and can’t wait to find out if baby Belton is a he or a she!
