35 Weeks: Bump Update

Week 35

June 17 , 2014

size of baby: honeydew, 18.2 inches, 5.5 lbs

total weight gain/loss: +18 

maternity clothes: I have found a shirt of Justin's that I got him when I was in college. It is a Delta Gamma Anchor Slam shirt in a large that I am pretty positive Justin has never worn. Anyways- I found it looking for a large comfy shirt to put on. I am pretty sure I have lived in it all week. I've washed it twice and put it back on the same day. I don't know why but it has become my go to shirt (I'm even wearing it in this weeks bump photo). Also, at the beginning of my pregnancy I bought a bunch of clothes from my friend. Well one pair of shorts were a little large- Jessica & Mom would always tells me I was not allowed to wear them out of the house cause they were huge. Well this week. They fit. That's all I have to say about that. 

gender: It's a GIRL! I can't believe our house has exploded PINK!!

movement: painful movements now- still blowing and going (At this point with Ascher they weren't as often- she is still crazy in there even though she has no room) When I lay on one side for a long time I feel her entire little body pushing at my sides. Its painful but I just roll over and normally she goes too. 

sleep: Snoring has been out of control this week. I mean WOW. I snored with Ascher and I believed Justin when he said I snored this time but this week I was snoring so bad I woke myself up a couple of times. Talk about bad. Its awful. I have never in my life woke myself up from snowing!!

cravings: ICE!, ice cream, still loving sweets

what I miss: getting out of bed/rolling over with ease, having a lap for Ascher to snuggle in (he tries so hard to lay on my lap...its near impossible and painful)

symptoms: swollen, crampy, braxton hicks, peeing all the time, backache, headache, no energy, blah, stuffy (this symptom has never gone away the whole pregnancy)

thoughts: 

• IM SO LARGE!!!!
• SWOLLEN! 
• She could be here so soon!! We had our 35 week apt and it was our first time to get checked. I am 60% effaced & 1 cm dilated. He told me to hold her in for two more weeks (At least get to 37 weeks) and to think 38! I have this weird feeling she is going to come early. I think Week 38 might be her week- however, this could just be my wishful thinking. : ) 
• I ordered the last of the things we needed and once everything arrives I think we will be set. I have washed tons of pink clothes and organized her nursery two or three times and I'm sure once she gets here I'll re-do it again. I still haven't figured out how I plan on keeping her bows and headbands.

Big Brother (Ascher) news: 

• We went to Matthew (Daniel & Megan) 1st Birthday on Saturday. They had a giant blow up slip & slide and a cool little baby splash pad in their backyard. Ascher had a  blast. He LOVES water! 
• Has a new fondness of his paci...we were doing so good. We are currently in a regression. He wants it all the time. I have semi given up fighting him because once baby is here there is gonna be one around (if she likes them).
