35 weeks
We are getting so close! It’s getting exciting, scary, and unbelievable all at once! 
Size of baby: 5.5 lbs – about the size of a honeydue. The books say baby won’t get much longer – it will just gain weight and fat (for warmth) till it’s born.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 17 lbs
Movement: Not as much going back and forth. Feeling the limbs more. I can tell if it’s a hand, foot, elbow, or knee. It’s one boney baby!
Sleep: I pee about 3 times a night. It’s getting harder to get comfortable – esp with my hips. I switch sides a lot and by the end of the night am propped up. All due to the silly hip pain.
What I miss: bending over, rolling over
Cravings: nothing.
Best Moment this week: there are 2. At our prenatal appt. I asked the midwife if baby was still head down. She said, “Oh yes, I can feel it right here.” and she grabs the location of the head and moves it around a bit. It was awesome. Longview Police had a free car seat inspection this week. So Nick and I now have a properly installed car seat in the back of the car. We have also starting buying things that we will need if I go into labor before my due date and need to birth at the birthing center. At the moment, I have a few things in our “to go” bag, and water and juice boxes (that will live in the back of the CRV). While walking to our car the other day, we both looked into it, saw the car seat, looked at each other and said, “wow”. It really made some reality hit home!
Least Favorite Moment: I think I am getting a cold. Boo.
