35/40
How far along are you? 35 weeks + 4 days
Due Date? i'm so happy that i can now say "less than a month away!" or "next month!" - if you can't tell, i'm way excited.
Total weight gain: 31 lbs
Countdown? 30 daayysss
Maternity Clothes? i've been thinking more about my post-pregnancy clothes now and what i'll wear?! probably my maternity clothes still until my tummy goes back to normal. i'm crossing my fingers that breastfeeding will help with shedding this pregnancy weight!
Stretch Marks? still the ones on my sides and bum!
Sleep: ehhh, it's okay. i try to sleep in but that only goes so far. it's such an effort moving from one side to the other these days and this baby is definitely putting on the weight because my belly is feeling heavier!
Best moments: (1) i always get a kick out of what random people will say to me now that i'm huge. the other day, i was walking down the street with friends and a lady said, "are you pregnant with a boy?" so i said, "yes, how did you know?" and she said, "well, i noticed you carry low and most women who carry low are having a boy!" (2) i don't want to think about the daunting task of shaving my legs anymore!... so the sweet husband i have shaves them for me and i love him even more because of that. (3) i went to my OB appt the other day and she checked my cervix - i'm apparently already 1cm dilated to that's good news :)
Missing anything? umm so many things! being able to wear/fit into cute summer clothes... being able to bend down easily... the list goes on.
Movement? yup yup yup and i love it
Food Cravings: trader joes sublimes! yumm (they're delicious ice cream sandwiches and i highly recommend you go get some)
Belly Button in or Out? FLAT but kinda poofs up a little?
Symptoms? heartburn, itchy belly!, emotional, minimal braxton hicks contractions, HOT ALL THE TIME! i seriously sweat so much
Wedding ring on or off? it's getting tighter! i keep praying that the weather will stay cooler so i don't swell up a ton this last month
Happy or Moody? so happy but getting more and more anxious... also anything having to do with babies i just want to cry! at our birth class we watched a natural birth video and i was trying not to bawl my eyes out when the baby was delivered. i can't wait for my moment like that (but will i be emotional?! i have no clue haha)
Looking Forward to: this baby coming (!!!) and we're doing maternity photos this weekend that i'm excited for. it will be so nice to have some updated pics of kevin and i!
