(YES....I'm fully aware that my head was cut out of this picture which leaves an extremely awkward looking photo. Got it. BUT, I've had the WORST head cold this week and I've done nothing but sneeze and wipe my nose all. day. long. Therefore, all the make-up, etc. is completely gone. Wasn't in the mood to reapply just for a 35 week picture.....sorry readers! ;)
How far along: 35 weeks.....5 to go....holy cow.
Size of baby: Lee should be between 19-22 inches long and should weigh about 5 1/2 lbs. at this point! Big ole' boy! ;)
Total weight gained/lost: I'm still up 21 lbs. It was confirmed last week at the doctor that I still haven't gained any weight. Apparently, after looking at my charts, I haven't gained anything since November. The doctor's words were that I may have hit a "plateau" of gaining weight and may not gain anymore. I asked if that was a concern and he said as long as the baby is still growing, he doesn't care if I gain any more weight or not. I'm measuring 35 weeks exactly and at this point, have nothing to worry about. Never thought I'd be worried about not gaining any weight....haha! :)
Maternity Clothes: Yes
Movement: Yes! Although, movement is starting to slow down somewhat. Phillip can also feel his little hick-ups all the time now. Bless his heart...he gets them quite often!
Sleep: SUCKS! Sorry. It's awful. I'm at the point where I'm dreading going to sleep because I know I'll not wake up rested. Oh well....no sympathy here....God is just showing me what it will be like in just 5 short weeks!! :)
What I miss: Bending over and being able to touch the ground. ha! You laugh...but its true! Every time I drop something, I have a mental fight go down in my head to determine if its truly worth bending over to pick it up or not. Usually it's not.
Symptoms: My heart burn (knock on wood) hasn't been nearly as bad lately. Thank you, Lord! Luckily, I can still wear my wedding rings and swelling hasn't been an issue either. Pretty much the only symtoms lately (worth mentioning on here...) are increasing numbers of braxton hicks contractions. I can handle it....after talking to some of my friends that have gone through this, I'll take that ANY day compared to some of the things I've heard of them going through! Thank you (again), Lord! :)
Aversions: Nothing crazy....Phillip did fix (I'm sure...) delicious burgers the other night and after fixing my plate and bringing it over to our TV trays.....I wasn't in the mood. Awesome. I know it frustrates Phillip when this happens and it doesn't do much to my attitude either. I ended up having a bowl of cereal later that evening. Ugh.
Highlights this week: We did go to the doctor last Thursday!We had a great visit. Lee's heartbeat was back up at 152. After taking a quick dive at the previous visit being 130, I was happy to hear it was back up and just a going. Although, I had just finished a caffeinated drink, so that could have had something to do with it! Hey...lay off....I'm allowed to have one per day...doctor said so! :) Other than that, we are just anxiously awaiting the arrival of our sweet baby boy. Nursery is ready, carseat is (not installed) but ready, and bags are out of the closet (not packed........), but out of the closet and ready to be! :)
