35 Weeks

How Far Along: 35 Weeks!

Size of Baby: A honeydew melon.  However, at our ultrasound yesterday, the doctor said baby J was 7 1/2 pounds, so obviously he/she is way bigger than a honeydew melon... we have ourselves a high achiever!

Sleep: I'm still sleeping in the recliner, which has been a Godsend, but I get up every 2 hours no matter what time I go to bed.  Although it is annoying to move my pillows every time I have to get up and back in to the recliner, I am thankful for sleep and the recliner!

Best Moment of the Week: We have had an amazing few weeks with family and friends. I will talk about the showers in another post because I am still in awe of the generosity and love put into all of the showers... simply incredible!  Also, I am in charge of the winter formal at my school and my husband does the music for it, so it is a huge job for us. Well, we survived it last week and it went really well! Although I love doing it, I am thankful it is over with :)
 
 Miss Anything: Nope!
 
 Movement: The movement has started to pick up again and I absolutely love it. Cory even felt it at 32 weeks and I think that made it more "real" for him. Every time I would try to have him feel the baby, the baby would stop moving, so he couldn't. Well, now the baby is cooperating and Cory feels him/her all the times!
 
 Food Cravings/Aversions: I could care less about meat, but I love fruit.
 
 Unusual Symptoms: Nothing really
 
Anything Making you Queasy or Sick: The last four days I have thrown up every. single. morning and it is gross. One time, I threw up all over my clothes on the way to work... ick!
 
Gender: I think it is a boy, but only God knows!
 
Labor Signs: I've started to have Braxton Hicks contractions and those have been fun. I did have a minor mishap on February 21st when I fell on the ice at work. My doctor made me come in to get monitored for five hours to make sure I didn't have any big contractions. I guess I had minor contractions, but nothing they were concerned about, so I was able to go home.

Looking Forward To: Hopefully hearing back from our doctor as far as when our c-section will be and getting our glider/ottoman in the mail this week!
   
Countdown: 32 days! However, it will be sooner than that due to the c-section.


Have a great week, friends!

Until next time, God bless!
