How Far Along?: 35 weeks! I can't believe that I have just 5 weeks until my due date. Not that I think I'll make it that far...
Weight Gain: At this point I've gained about 20 or so pounds. It's crazy to me because I went from hardly gaining anything at all to all of a sudden gaining ALL the weight at one time.
Gender?: BOY! I really can't wait to see what he looks like! The tech who did my ultrasound yesterday said he has a good amount of hair. Maybe he'll be blonde!
How Big is Baby?: He's the size of a pineapple and at my growth scan yesterday he was estimated at weighing about 4 lbs 14oz. He should also be around 18.2 in long at this point which is wild. How is he fitting in this tiny belly of mine! His hearing is now fully developed, and he responds best to high-pitched noises. His testes might have fully descended at this point.
He's also putting on some weight right now which is a good thing. Those extra pounds (or, more likely ounces) will help him stay warm outside the womb.
At 35 weeks, his brain is continuing to grow. By now, it weighs about two-thirds of what it will at around 40 weeks.
Symptoms: I've been having so much heartburn lately and haven't been sleeping well. I'm also sore and achy and just started having more intense Braxton Hicks and cramps. I've also been pretty tired lately. Oh and I have this pinched area in my lower back on the left side that hurts like a mother if I move wrong.
Any Food Cravings?: Not much honestly. I have been really loving the Tru Fru frozen fruit lately though. Especially the Pina Colada ones!
Sleep: I've been sleeping pretty well lately because I've been transforming my bedroom into a sleep sanctuary and it's helping so much. I'm not getting up with the sunrise everyday!
Stretch Marks?: No new ones that I've noticed. But my old ones are just more pronounced.
Maternity Clothes?: Yup! I've been living in my dresses and my maternity leggings for the most part. Or just letting my belly hang out with a sports bra, because island life.
Wedding Ring On or Off?: On!
What Do You Miss the Most?: Not having heartburn all the time!
What Are You Most Excited For This Next Week?: Celebrating my wedding anniversary!
Labor Signs?: Nope!
Favorite Memory From Last Week?: Spending Easter with my family and Wes having a 72 where we got to go to the beach together.
