35 Weeks - Only 5 Weeks Left?!

-- 35 Week Belly Bump --




How far along? 35 weeks...only 5 weeks left. Holy buckets!
Total weight gain: ????
Baby is the size of a: Coconut - probably anywhere from 4-6 pounds
Maternity clothes? Most definitely. Still wearing pre-maternity pants!
Stretch marks? More in previously disclosed location...none on my belly so far (knock on wood!)
Sleep: Still haven't turned on the heater so I am doing alright. Getting up to go to the bathroom anywhere from 5-10 times a night now but thankfully able to go right back to sleep.
Best moment this week:  Seeing girlfriends at our last shower this week!
Miss anything? Pretty content right now.
Movement: Always have had a hard time getting the 5 kicks in an hour twice a day that the doctor requests, and it's been even harder this week. She is not particularly active, ever, so I usually have to lay down and really concentrate to even get 5.
Food cravings: Chocolate chip cookies. And I'm (still) overdue for Cake Batter with a brownie from Coldstone...
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Gender: Sweet baby girl :)
Baby Name: Yep!
Labor Signs: Just more braxton-hicks. Have had a little bit of cramping in my back and lower abdomen this week a couple times that I had to sit until they went away.
Symptoms: Still have quite a bit of heartburn (but a little better than before), lots of swelling, more and more tired.
Comments Solicited from Others: My medical assistant at work told me she thought I had dropped this week?
Belly Button in or out? Flat as a board
Wedding rings on or off? Still off

Happy or Moody most of the time: Increasingly more uncomfortable, but still content
Looking forward to: Our next appointment next Monday (we will see if I have dilated at all!) and then going home for Thanksgiving. Also looking forward to getting the nursery situated now that we are done with showers and finding homes for everything we will need here in a few short weeks. Probably should also start getting the hospital bag packed. Oh yes, and excited to decorate for Christmas next weekend!!
