35 week Pregnancy Update

Well I had always intended on keeping up with a blog throughout my whole pregnancy and here I am 30 weeks after writing my first entry and now only writing my second entry! Ooops...I really did have good intentions. So with only 5 weeks to go, I will start from here and maybe this will be more of a parenting blog or perhaps this is more just for me...who knows!?! But here I am writing. Ok here's my 35 week pregnancy update!

How far along? 35 weeks! MadeLynn is measuring about 5 days ahead which might not mean anything at all but my uterus measured 36 cm. Her heartbeat was 135bpm.

Maternity clothes/What I am wearing: I just bought a black razor back maxi dress from Meijers and I love it. I think perhaps it will be what I wear home as well. It's so awesome because I can pair it with any colored cardigan, scarf or belt and make it look like a totally different outfit. Score!

Stretch marks? MadeLynn likes to sit very low under my belly button and that is where all my stretch marks are. I use coco butter and have not gotten any more since I started at 30 weeks. They are very thin so I am hoping they are the kind that disappear after birth.

Sleep: What in the world is sleep? Ha...my longest stretch of sleep is probably 45 min- 1 hour. I am constantly tossing and turning and then needing to pee. This has been my least favorite month of pregnancy mainly because of the lack of sleep.

Best moment this week: My birthday was on Sunday! Can't believe I am 26 years old now!

Movement: This little one loves to rock and roll! She is ALWAYS moving!

Food cravings: Fruit loops or really any sugary cereal. I try to limit it but sometimes I just want to eat the whole box!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Coffee unfortunately

Gender: A girl...Miss MadeLynn Rose

Labor signs: Tons of pressure and baby girl is sitting SUPER low

Symptoms: Fatigue, heartburn, TERRIBLE headaches. Shortness of breath...oh and I'm well & truly waddling now!     

Belly button in or out? Is totally flat! I would say it's still an innie

Wedding rings on or off? Off since 30 weeks due to swelling...boo hoo

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy!

Looking forward to: Meeting MadeLynn! I'm at the stage where I'm very much over being pregnant...5 weeks to go!
