How Far Along? 35 Weeks!! Just 5 (ish) weeks to go! It’s kinda surreal knowing that lil Baby H will be here in such a short time. I’m 2 weeks from full term and will be happy with him coming anytime after that. My mom told me I was born on my exact due date. I kinda hope he is as well. 6/4/12.
Symptoms: Backaches, Heartburn like crazy, Insane emotions, wicked lethargic, short of breath
Total Weight Gain: 27 lbs so far!
Maternity Clothes: Sooo I have officially outgrown one of my maternity T shirts!!!
Stretch Marks: Not yet, fingers crossed that they never come, those evil lil buggars.
Sleep: It’s not good at night, but I am able to nap during the day now so I get a little extra.
Food Cravings: mango flavored anything, ice cream and chex mix. Can I tell you that I get heartburn from EVERYTHING….i mean…water gives me heartburn. It’s SO ANNOYING
Best Moment This Week: Taking maternity shots with John yesterday was the best. It was quite loveydovey. And even though he’s not a photoshoot kinda guy, John was really into it. I really enjoyed taking the photos and having it be so celebratory of the little life we created and are anxiously awaiting.
Movement: He’s moving less than before. I’m lightweight worried about it. (someone please tell me it’s normal)
Labor Signs: Cramping
Belly Button In Or Out? Out, and sometimes it’s firm and sometimes it’s mashable…so weird.
What I Miss: I miss sleeping through the night, a life without heartburn, stable emotions.
What I Am Looking Forward To: Today’s doctor appointment and chat with the doc, Skyping with Embry. Also looking forward to making more art for his room and getting it all together.
Milestones: Dunno if I hit any milestones…
Weekly Wisdom: If you aren’t cataloging your pregnancy with weekly or monthly photos, definitely do a maternity shoot. It can be kinda magical.
Thoughts: I can’t wait to meet my little man!!
Any advice for me at this stage in pregnancy?
You’re absolutely glowing as a pregant woman, you look really happy!
Looking great Dani!! As for the movements… they do slow down or turn more into stretches because they’re running out of space to do their usual gymnastics! Plus your lil one should be trying to move head-down…so you’ll feel more legs rubbing around on the top of your belly..or a butt poking out. lol… it’s fun!
Embry definitely is growing…so excited!!! Just try to rest whenever you can!!
You look great!! And you did reach a milestone, 35 weeks down with 35 days to go!
I remember being freaked out because Yorlee’s movements kind of chilled out at the end of my pregnancy, but they get pretty cramped in there.
Your pregnancy is flying by to me! Can’t wait to see your maternity photos, that was one of my most favorite memories. Are you going to do a belly cast? I still look at mine in amazement of how huge my belly was.
You’re almost there (and so is my Sis who’s 35 weeks too)!!!
It’s been so much fun watching your journey and comparing notes. I’m going to be there for the birth of her baby and will be checking up on you here too 🙂
Good Luck!
You are absolutely glowing!
Mrs. V and Kathy are right. Sometimes movement decreases near the end because he is too big to flip around. He’s running out of space!
Can’t wait to see pics from the Maternity shoot!!
You are one of three bloggers I read who is about to give birth. Wow – what happened 9 months ago that I missed? lol
Not sure how I stumbled upon your blog, but I found it months ago and I’ve been checking every few weeks…..especially because we’re on the same pregnancy timeline (I’m 35wks too). You look great and I enjoy reading your updates! Good luck…and I hope the next few weeks go smoothly! 🙂
baby is growing, so happy for you lady 🙂
Thanks girls, glad to know the slow down in movement is OK!
I hear heart burn means your baby will have lots of hair.
