How Far Along: 35 Weeks
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Up about 25 pounds,
but 10+ of that is baby so still doing well.
Maternity Clothes: Of course, though some
days I don’t get out of my nightgown.
LOL!
Movement: Yes – and now that
they have rearranged their position I can tell who is who better and movement
has been good.
Sleep: Definitely getting
worse. Taking my Tylenol PM and it seems to be helping a bit.
Still up between 6 and 15 times a night to pee though…
Gender: A boy and a girl!!!
Symptoms: Fatigue, round
ligament pain/cramping, stuffiness, hip pain. Now some cramping and
aches and pains. It’s just uncomfortable. I will admit that
it's truly uncomfortable 24/7. The round ligament pain is the worst right
now. The weight of the babies makes it feel like I got kicked in the
crotch! Walking hurts, lifting my leg or turning one way or another – it
all hurts!!! I do get some cramps and
Braxton Hicks on occasion and those suck as well!! And the swelling has started…
Cravings: Sweets, just because
I can’t have them.
Freak-out of the Week: Yesterday I was ready
to head to L&D again, but I just relaxed and kept my feet up and I was
fine!
Looking Forward To: Meeting our
babies. At 35 weeks I would welcome them
anytime now. Ideally two more weeks
would be great, but right now they would be in really good shape and likely
come home with us.
Next Appointment: Tuesday I have the OB
and an NST. Wednesday MFM. Thursday off and another NST on Friday!
Miscellaneous: All of our appointments
have gone fine so far. J No real signs of imminent labor. Trying to search my mother’s instinct and see
if I can tell when these babies are going to arrive…don’t forget to join the
baby pool!!!
35 Weeks - Growing, growing, growing. Yup, baby and you. You’ve
reached 35 weeks, and your uterus has grown about 1,000 times its original
size, a number that might sound exaggerated to everyone else -- but to you it
probably feels more like a million. You can expect to gain about a half-pound a
week before birth, and baby’s beefing up, too. At 35 weeks, some moms-to-be feel
like they have a ton of stuff left to do before baby’s arrival. Others can
barely wait for baby to make his debut. Either way, try not to stress. Baby
will show up when he’s ready, and he won’t care if you haven’t checked every
little detail off your list.
COCONUTS!!
And a shot of me from this morning. :)
Aieeeeeee! You look great! I'm so excited for you!
