Counting On One Hand Now!!

Woah, dang! We can now count down to the due date on one hand. Crazy! Of course, he could choose to be quite late and then we'll just have to be patient. We'll know more about delivery, etc. after our 36 week appointment.

 

how far along?  35 weeks!

how are you measuring? We're on track and it's such a relief. I hear from everyone I'm finally looking pregnant. Oh good... because I am!

size of baby? According to WTE, Jude is about 6 pounds and 19-21 inches long. No more height growing at this point, he's just packing on the pounds.

heartbeat? 157bpm at our 31 week appointment. We checked the heartbeat at the 34 week appointment, but I forgot to ask what it was. Ooops.

total weight gain/loss? About 24 pounds. My doctor and I looked at it and he's happy with my gain so far. I'm hoping to be just as happy with the loss in the end!

maternity clothes? Maternity pants and mostly maternity shirts, I can wear some regular shirts if they're longer. I've enjoyed wearing my regular fall shirts/sweaters so far.

stretch marks? Still my four. I like 'em.
sleep? Sleep hasn't been going well this week. My allergies plus heartburn cause a lot of waking and tossing.

best moment this week? Our weekend was a lot of fun. We got to see my dad's family and my brother who's back from New York and my College Station friends threw me an essentials shower. I got to see my college roommates and my mother-in-law came and stayed the night with us. Great weekend!

movement? He's still a mover! Really prefers my right side and has spent the last half of this week up in my ribs more as well.

food cravings? Still ice water. My sweet tooth is also sneaking back in, which is kind of nice and at the same time I'm trying to keep it reigned it.

what i miss:  Laying on my stomach, bending over.

what i'm looking forward to: Finishing the nursery!! I have all the pieces, so now it's time to get it all pulled together.

how are you feeling? My feet are swelling after long days at work, but I'm able to bring it down pretty quickly. My house is definitely showing effects of being tired after work, but I'm doing what I can to push through. This girl has things that need to get done!
