How far along: 35 weeks
Baby Size: about the size of a pineapple...weighing in at over 5lbs! Maternity clothes: The same - but been wearing more and more maternity shirts as the belly gets larger and larger. And still very grateful the weather has been holding out so I can still wear dresses, skirts, and flip flops. Stretch marks: I honestly don't know. Some days I think I see some. Other days not so much. So at this point it's anyone's guess. Only time will tell. Sleep: not great and not enough...but surviving :) Gender: lots of blue, trucks, and dirt in my future!!! Movement: Lots of jabs - and with little room left in there any and all movements hurt!! Looking forward to: crossing more and more off the never ending to-do list!! There's SO much to do it's very overwhelming but I know we've gotta just keep plugging away. Food cravings: grapes and watermelon - STILL! Oh, and Fruit Loops (or any other sugary cereal!) What I wouldn't give for a huge bowl of cereal - Yum! Yum! Weirdest food I ate this week: Nothing - hard to eat anything weird when you're eating clean. Anything making you queasy or sick: I wouldn't say queasy or sick - but mornings have been rough lately. Like I just don't feel myself. But by noon I'm usually feeling better. Labor Signs: Nada - though people have been commenting how low I am now - does that count?! What I miss: pretty much everything I used to take for granted...like running, putting on sneakers, having a waist, going up stairs easily, having a larger selection of clothes to wear....all that sorta stuff. Not that this is new news to anyone - but I am CLEARLY over being pregnant :) Symptoms: besides a VERY large belly....back and pelvic soreness, sensitive belly button, my ankles will swell occassionally, and I'm constantly warm (thus I've been lovin' these cooler days and nights!) Nursery: Slowly getting there. We finally ordered curtains (that I hope we like!) So hopefully they'll get here soon so we can get them hemmed and then put up. I also still need to order some prints. But the lady I'm working with on Etsy isn't the greatest at responding so I'm feeling frustrated. We also still have some laundry to do and organizing of the nursery. Belly Button in or out?: half innie/half outtie at this point. Wedding rings on or off?: On Workouts: same old same old - I do find myself getting tired more easily though (that could also be due to the fact I'm working 10+ very stressful, long hours at work these days!) I did have a good workout over the weekend where I felt great!! So I'm definitely ready to be able to push myself again, run, and get a GOOD sweat session in!! Things that suck: Besides work...missing important out-of-town family events since traveling long distances isn't an option these days. Things that don't suck: This weather!! Seriously. I LOVE fall. We've had a pretty decent stretch of weather the last couple weeks and I just love it.
