35 Weeks - Pregnancy #2

Each Sunday, I'd like to do a highlights post, including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from Kelly.  I did this with my pregnancy with Hadley, as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on.  I'll probably write these on Saturday nights and attach the picture the next day.  That way I can stay semi-technology free :)

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along:  35 weeks - Third Trimester

Size of baby:  Baby Boy is between 19 and 22 inches crown to feet and weighs as much as a large cantaloupe (around 5.5 pounds)

Total weight gain/loss:  At my appointment last Wednesday, I had gained back the two pounds I lost, so my official weight gain this pregnancy so far is back to 18 pounds.

Maternity clothes:  My "typical" clothing attire is a soft sleeveless tank and soft knit shorts.  If I'm feeling super fancy or I know someone might be dropping by, I might put on a stretchy dress.  But most days, it's the former.

Gender:A less bouncy, more roll-y baby boy.

Movement:  He moves, but he really stays curled up in there.  I guess there's just not a lot of room to stretch.  Although, when he stretches, I sure know it!  Geez, my ribs take a beating.

Sleep:  Oh sleep.  I miss you. A typical night has me up every hour and a half to two hours.  I told The Husband that I'm almost looking forward to those newborn days because I just might get more sleep than I'm getting now. Ha!

What I miss:  Full on hugs

Cravings:  ice cream (which I can't have) and sherbet (which I CAN have!)

Symptoms: Minor back pain every once in a while and an enormous amount of pressure in my pelvic region

Exercise: I'm hoping to be able to go walk at the gym starting next week.

Belly Button in or out: It's still flat.

Wedding ring on or off: On :)

Happy or moody most of the time:  I was pretty happy this week!

Looking forward to:  Week 36--my doctor said I can go back to doing what I did before bed rest if I make it to 36 weeks!

Best moment this week: I had a couple of best moments!  Getting a haircut and pedicure after months of waiting on Friday, seeing some of my friends and family at a small family shower (which I'll write about later) in my home town Saturday afternoon, and being surprised by The Husband with quite an expensive gift last night. It was a busy, lovely weekend, and I'm SPENT! I'm going to go lie down right after I hit "Publish."
