35 weeks down
5 to go.
FIVE!!
Had a fly by appointment on Wednesday, nothing new. I learned that there will be no more ultrasounds unless something is wrong. 🙁
But moving on:
How far along? 35 weeks today.
Total Weight Gain? Let’s just say like one my midwives said: it is what it is.
Maternity Clothes? I’m running out. I am down to 2 pair of jeans, a pair of stretchy black pants(yoga like), a pair of capris, and a thick maternity sweater I found at Ross. I hope it doesn’t get too cold before I deliver.
Stretch Marks? NONE!!! The cocoa butter is still being slathered on everyday religiously.
Sleep? What’s that? I now wake up on the hour, every hour, to pee, or change sides, or to readjust a pillow…..you get the point.
Best Moment this week? Getting a Boppy from my baby brother. Who has no idea what it’s for. When I tried to explain, I think I heard him gag!
Food Cravings? Food, any type of food. Oh, and the Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Did you know they have a new Red Velvet Cheesecake? OMG!
Sex? It had better still be a boy in there!
Labor Signs? Braxton Hicks out the yin yang. Especially when I have to pee. Which is all the time. So………
Belly Button? Not exactly a innie, but not exactly a outee. Very weird.
What I miss the most? Bending over from the waist.
What am I looking forward to the most? Seeing what he looks like. Will he look as chubby and cute as I dream he will??? 🙂
Milestones? Reaching one appointment a week. It means the end is in sight!

You sound as if you are in a better place emotionally. I'm glad. Keep your chin up, sweet pea!
