35 Weeks

BUMPdates

19 Sep
Fotor0919161853

This is why I need a new camera…or a new phone…or both…

How far along? 35 weeks

Total weight gain? 31.5 lbs. Considering my “terrible” eating habits when Courtny is away, I consider this 1.5 lb. gain a win.

Maternity clothes? Ugh. To make myself feel better and to prep for my post-baby wardrobe, I followed my favorite blog to stalk Living in Yellow‘s advice and signed up for Stitch Fix. I can’t wait to report back on how much I love this monthly box of goodies delivered to my doorstep! Stay tuned!

Stretch marks? On the most terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Saturday, at 34 weeks + 2 days, Baby C REALLY dropped… and I discovered stretch marks on my lower belly. Seriously kid?! Kill me now.

Sleep? I take what I can get at this point.

Best moment this week: Courtny FINALLY getting home. Thank God.

Miss anything? I officially have a bottle of Cupcake red wine AND a bottle of champagne just waiting for October 24…

Movement: She’s a show off. After telling the OB that she moves all the time, she decided to prove it by rolling around during my entire appointment. That’s my girl.

Food cravings: I can’t lie. I may have ordered a 20 piece McNugget, all for myself, this week. And I ate every. single. bite.

Anything make you queasy or sick? Not really.

Gender: Why is this even a question?

Labor signs?: Apparently the pain I’m in – completely normal. Awesome.

Symptoms: I’m nearly 9 months pregnant. I have every symptom in the book. Please stop asking me how I’m “feeling.” The answer – NOT GOOD.

Belly button in or out? Out

Wedding rings on or off? Even if I wanted to, they’re not coming off.

Happy or moody? Ha. Haha. Oh…

Looking forward to:  October 24.


Official countdown: 5 weeks 0 days
