35 Weeks - the end is near

How far along? 35 Weeks 5 Day
Total weight gain/loss: 8 lbs gained (PP weight 297, CP Weight 304.4)
Maternity clothes? same old story - work pants and tops and bras; guess it's a good thing I'm a fatty
Stretch marks? I believe my entire stomach and breasts are covered now :(
Sleep: Miss it dearly!  I'm tired all day but can't seem to get into bed and close my eyes until 10pm and then I'm awake at 4am.
Best moment this week: Every moment I feel him move around.
Have you told family and friends: Yes
Miss Anything? eating chocolate and ice cream and pizza and whatever I want!
Movement:  he likes to move and then be still for hours, what a freakout
Food cravings: chocolate
Anything making you queasy or sick: no
Have you started to show yet: Definitely!
Gender prediction: Well we thought girl but it's BOY
Labor Signs: Not sure if I'm having contractions but there's definitely something going on in that belly of mine
Belly Button in or out? Innie and starting to get a little more shallow but I know it won't pop
Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happily Moody
Looking forward to: holding him in my arms!  Just 3 weeks and 2 days EEEK
Not loving: hormonal swings holy shit!




I gotta say, pregnancy does NOT suck ... I've been pretty lucky and if each pregnancy was like this, I'd do it all the time!  Well, maybe not LOL


I have to admit, the last couple of weeks have been physically hard but I feel great and excited! I have this insane pressure on my vaj and my inner thighs.  My legs/feet start to swell up late in the day and my hands are tingly.  But I will gladly deal with all that to incubate this kiddo for a few extra weeks!


Yesterday was the first of four NST - non stress test - and we did great.  Or I should say, E did great.  He must have known something was going to be done because he was so active all day.  Today, he's probably recovering from all his activity LOL  Basically I was in L&D and strapped up to a couple monitors for his heart rate and I believe contractions.  For about 35 minutes I just laid in bed and listened to his little heart just beat away.  I could do that for hours!!!  Here's hoping the next one is just as easy.
