Weekly Update: 35 Weeks

{last week}

How far along? 35 weeks, 6 Days

Baby Size: A coconut

Total weight gain: 30lbs (Ugh, I gained three in one week!)

Maternity clothes? Hardly even those anymore. I'm really running out of things!

Stretch marks? Belly is still good!

Sleep: It's about the same. Horrible!

Best moment this week: Learning I was already 50% effaced at my appointment.

I love knowing there is progress going on!

Miss Anything? Chicken Salad Sandwiches, Subway, a regular ham and cheese sandwich.

I know some people eat them during pregnancy but I've heard that you shouldn't eat cold

deli meats. And even though my nurse said I could have toasted Subway sandwiches,

I was still trying to be good and not eat them. It's getting really hard!

Movement: She's still moving around plenty. It's different movements for the most part.

Not really kicks - more rolls and feet and elbows sticking out.

Food cravings: Back to pepperoni pizza with bell peppers.

Anything making you queasy or sick: This week was pretty good -- no morning sickness.

Gender: Lady

Symptoms: Noticed that I'm swelling after my walks I do each day. Having contractions

here and there and some back pain. Basically, I'm just one pregnant potato.

Belly Button in or out? Pretty out.

Wedding rings on or off? On -- but noticeably tighter

Mood: READY. Anxious. Excited.

Looking forward to: At this point I was SO excited about seeing her in the ultrasound

at 36 weeks (which I had yesterday). I was very anxious to see her and learn her weight.
