Pregnancy Week 35

35 weeks down, 35 days to go! (Less now, since I've procrastinated on posting this.) Crazy, crazy. I've been feeling SO much better than last week- thank God. I'll have to do a weekend review and let you in on how my mini spa day went. I think it was helpful. Now it's already Tuesday and this week is almost halfway over. Love it.


How far along?: 35 weeks
Total weight gain: Let's skip this week and I'll update you after my next appointment. Prob around +36. It's pretty out of control. Good thing I'm planning on having a 12lb baby... ;)
Maternity clothes: I just wear whatever works. Some of my "outfits" look borderline rediculous these days, but I refuse to purchase any more maternity clothes. I'm looking forward to investing in some non-maternity Fall lovelies here in a few weeks.
Sleep: Better than earlier last week. I pee alot, I toss and turn, and I deal with it.
Best moment of the week: My pedicure. Those people seriously know what they're doing.
Movement: Yup. Still rocking out like she's listening to music most of the time. I hope she's not into Miley Cyrus or anything creepy like that. (Minus "Party in the USA"...I love/hate to love that damn song.)
Food cravings: Earlier this week it was anything covered in cheese. Now we have moved onto healthier options and I'm back to loving apples and veggies.
Gender: Girl
Belly Button: Same old flat with the top poking out.
Stretchmarks?: None that I can see. I wonder if they will show up when I "deflate"- you know, once she's not in there pushing everything out into a smooth bump?
What I miss: Still too excited to really miss things. I'm getting anxious for wine and jogging, but we're so close that it's not something I dwell on as much as just look forward to.
What I'm looking forward to: Being off work Monday, dinner with lady friends tomorrow night, being full term in 2 weeks! So much to look forward to these days.
Weekly wisdom: It's okay to park in the Expectant Mother parking spot, even if you could totally walk the extra 20 feet from a regular spot. :)
Milestones: This isn't really a milestone, but just for my own notes to look back on...I've been having Braxton Hicks- aka practice contractions - like crazy lately! Nice to know my body is gearing up for the real deal, which seems just around the corner.


...and now, the moment you've all been waiting for...or not, either one:

Kidding. Again...I will post these later today. I'll do it quickly this time and not make you wait for 3 days, I just thought you might prefer a picture where I don't look like a cracked out homeless lady. :) Check back later.

xo,
