35 Weeks

Pumpkin this week...

~ Baby's kidneys are completely developed and his liver is functional!
~ His brain power continues to grow!
~Baby is about as long as he is going to get in my belly, but he is gaining weight still!
~His fat percentage is up to 15%.

Size of the Baby?
The size of a coconut!  I have loved coconut water a lot during this pregnancy!
Can you believe baby is likely 5 pounds by now?!  Well I can!

Total Weight Gain/Loss?

+1 pound... I can deal with that after a trip to the State Fair and Labor Day weekend!

Maternity Clothes?

Another drama free week but this weekend should be interesting... a wedding and two showers!

Stretch Marks?

Thankfully none!

Best Moments?

The start of weekly doctor appointments!  We saw our doctor on Tuesday and she did the first check to see if anything was progressing.  Warning... TMI about to be read!  Okay you've been warned!  I'm not dilated at all but my cervix is softening.  Which seems like forward progress to me!  Not too much that baby is anywhere near coming but there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Movement?
Oh yes!  Pretty much all day he moves and grooves!

Nausea/Vomitting?

None and the breathing seems to have gotten better too!

Labor Signs?

None.

Gender?

BOY!

Belly Button In or Out?
I think I would call it an outtie now.  You can see it thru tank tops and it's definitely making itself known.

Wedding Rings On or Off?

On!

Sleep?

What's that?!  I think I'm just prepping for sleepless nights to come!

Wisdom?

I don't feel like I have much wisdom this week other than soak up the time you have with your spouse before baby comes.  Ryan and I have been enjoying just being together and making sure we take advantage of opportunities to just drop everything and go hang out with friends.  This time is limited now and soon, the little guy will soak up our free time (what free time?!) so we are making every effort to be together and be with others!

What am I most excited about?

Our third and final shower this weekend!  My in-laws are throwing us a shower with some of our favorite family friends!  I can't wait to see everyone and celebrate this little man's 'just around the corner' arrival!

Week-to-week comparison: 15, 25, and 35 weeks!

Did someone say 5 more weeks?!  Don't say it too loud-- Ryan gets a little anxious!
