BUMPdate - 35 WEEKS

Yup, I skipped week 34. I must have been busy!

My first ringer on our new quoit boards! My poor swollen feet are so apparent in this picture!

How Far Along: 35 weeks. 5 to go! Getting closer!

Baby Size: 19 to 22 inches, 6 pounds (Large cantaloupe). Little L is most likely heavier than this, we’ll find out soon!

Total Weight Gain: 22 pounds as of the last appointment. I have another one tomorrow for 36 weeks, so we’ll see!

Maternity Clothes? All maternity. Nothing else fits!

Stretch Marks? Yes! I’ve been lathering on the lotion, but they are pretty prominent. Oh well.

Sleep: Tired, but not taking as many naps, which means I still go to bed pretty early.

Best moment this week: Continuing to get projects done that won’t get done after Little L has arrived is making me pretty happy.

Miss Anything? COKE!!! (I miss it like crazy this week, I can't wait to have one after she's born), cold turkey lunchmeat, queso from the Mexican restaurant down the road.

Movement: Lots and lots. She’s always on the move.

Food Cravings: Oh everything...especially now that I’m on a strict diet due to Gestational Diabetes. I want EVERYTHING I’m not allowed to have.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope. Thank goodness.

Gender: Girl!

Labor Signs: Nope...I don't even think I've had Braxton Hicks yet...

Belly button in or out? Still an innie, but not by much!

Wedding rings on or off? Off. I have a feeling they’ll be off for a while.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Very happy, but super anxious...waiting is not my strong point.

Looking forward to: I just can’t wait to meet her J

BUMPdate - 33 WEEKS

How Far Along: 33 weeks. 7 to go! Where did the time go?!

Baby Size: According to my phone app, the average size is 19 to 22 inches, 4.9 pounds (Pineapple). However, we are clear on the fact that Little L is approximately 5 pounds, 13 ounces, maybe more at this point.

Total Weight Gain: At my appointment yesterday I hadn’t gained anymore weight, so my grand total is still 22 pounds.

Maternity Clothes? Pretty much all maternity at this point. My tshirts, yoga pants, gym shorts still fit, but pants/shorts and everything else are maternity. Most of my regular shirts are no longer working. I’ve moved on to maxi dresses due to the heat.

Stretch Marks? Yes! I’ve been lathering on the lotion, but they are pretty prominent. Oh well.

Sleep: Always tired. I still try to nap once a day, and I’m in bed by 9:30.

Best moment this week: My nesting is in full swing and I actually got some projects done. That felt pretty good!

Miss Anything? Coke, cold turkey lunchmeat, queso from the Mexican restaurant down the road.

Movement: Lots and lots. She’s always on the move.

Food Cravings: Lemonade. All the time.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Heartburn. It got so bad that I finally started taking a Zantac once a day before dinner. It’s a miracle worker.

Gender: Girl!

Labor Signs: Nope

Belly button in or out? Innie, but SO shallow. I think it’s going to be an outie any day now.

Wedding rings on or off? Off L Makes me sad. But I got a really pretty cheap replacement for the time being!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy! Now just getting a little nervous.

Looking forward to: Finishing up more home projects (I have a huge list) and just spending some quality time with my hubby before we welcome Little L into the world.

BUMPdate - 32 WEEKS

How Far Along: 32 weeks. 8 to go! That's only two months. Yikes!

Baby Size: 19 inches, 4.5 pounds (Honeydew)

Total Weight Gain: 22 pounds! This seems like a ton, but I'm still under the recommended amount! Woohoo!

Maternity Clothes? All maternity and maxi dresses. I'm not sure what I'm going to wear for the next two months!

Stretch Marks? Nope.

Sleep: Always always tired. I could sleep all day.

Best moment this week: Well I wouldn't call it the best, but we got another real ultrasound to see our little lady, due to the fact that she's, well, a bit big. I measured almost 3 weeks ahead at my appointment, so they sent us to the hospital for an in-depth look at her. Turns out, at almost 33 weeks, she's weighing 5 pounds, 13 ounces. Average size babies at this point are about 4 pounds, 9 ounces. Yikes! But they said she's perfectly healthy! 

Miss Anything? Coke, cold turkey lunchmeat, queso from the Mexican restaurant down the road. 

Movement: Lots. She's active in the morning, around lunch and then right before bed. Also, she spent about 12 hours trying to turn the other night and I felt every single moment of it.... 

Food Cravings: Frozen drinks (slurpees, icees, etc). However, I failed the glucose screening test, so I'm on lots of restrictions until I take (and hopefully pass) the glucose test this week.

Anything making you queasy or sick? While she was trying to turn, I had my first vomiting of the pregnancy. All the moving and pushing made my heartburn flair up and thus, I spent the night over the toilet.

Gender: Girl!

Labor Signs: Nope

Belly button in or out? Innie, but SO shallow. I think it’s going to be an outie any day now.

Wedding rings on or off? Off L Makes me sad.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy!

Looking forward to: Just enjoying the end of my pregnancy. Honestly, it hasn't been the most comfortable or easy 8 months, and I don't know that I'll really miss it. I'm just looking forward to meeting her.
