35 Week Update

How far along? 35 weeks (The size of a large cantaloupe.  Between 19-22 inches and about 6 pounds.)

Total weight gain/loss: +24 lbs (Holding strong!  Whoop Whoop for no change!)

 
Maternity clothes:Yep.
 
Have you told family and friends?  Everybody knows now :)

 

Have you started to show yet? Yep.

 

Sleep:   I wake up a lot and I have some nights that are worse than others but I have only had to lay down for a short nap one day and the added awake time adds in a lot of perfect time for prayers and, Heavens knows, I have a lot to pray about these days!

 

Best moment this week:  Saturday M and I worked in her room a little.  He put her new bookshelf together and rearranged her furniture and I worked in her closet.  One of the gifts we received that we had registered for was a diaper bag specifically for Matt. He was so cute picking out what he was going to put in it and organizing it just right.  Seriously, Baby Shamrock hit the Daddy jackpot.  She couldn't have done any better and it's well documented that I couldn't have either!

This is a picture of Matt's diaper bag.

Miss Anything? This week I have really missed regular clothes.  I am really over my maternity wardrobe and jeans that won't stay up and the crotch hangs around my knees. 

Movement: She has turned around and is back in a breech position.  Nothing to worry about she has plenty of time to turn and it is a lot more comfortable for her mom for her to be "breech" (horizontal instead of vertical) but it also makes her movements a lot easier to be seen (you know, since they aren't primarily in my bladder and rib cage!).  It's really fun to not only get to feel her so strongly but get to see her too!

 

Food cravings: The only specific "food" would be Sonic ice!  I love it and want to have it, fresh, at all times!  <----  Yep, I still LOVE it!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Occasionally the heartburn makes me a little sick and overeating makes me sick and is really easy to do since it seems like anything over five bites is considered overeating these days.

Gender prediction: GIRL.  If she comes out a boy we probably won't have anything monogrammed wrong (since we CAN NOT agree on a name) but we will have A TON (like a ridiculous amount) of baby girl clothes that have to be returned.

Labor Signs: Nope.  Dr. L says I have most likely been having Braxton Hicks but I haven't felt or realized them if she's right.

Symptoms: Back pain, heartburn and some uncomfortableness in my stomach (as it is REALLY starting to stretch) and, of course, the inability to sleep.  <------ Still all of that.

 

 

So many things to say about this picture.  One, I have NO IDEA WHY it is vertical when I save it but then it puts it on here horizontally NOR do I know how to fix it.  Second, good grief this picture.  This is what happens when you have missed more than half the weeks pictures.  This is the first thing in the morning, terrible iphone in the dirty mirror selfie.  Gag.  But you get the point and I would like to think it would motivate me to do better for these last few weeks!
