Here's to the summer and finding a suit in your drawer that fits your new pregnant body! YAY! I know this weeks photo doesn't really show my progression very well, but it certainly shows what I have been wanting to do lately! Lounge and relax! I almost fell asleep on that raft! So here is my brave (for me) bikini shot for 35 weeks!
What's baby up to this week? She is the size of a honeydew melon, measuring over 18" long and weighs around 5 1/4 pounds. Her kidney's are fully developed and her liver can process waste products. Her basic physical development is now mostly complete and all there's left to do is put on some weight. That's a relief to hear! At my doctor's appointment on Friday her heartbeat was 145 and my doctor thinks shes weighing in around between 4-5 pounds, so a little smaller than the baby center's averages.
What's been going on with mom? Still feeling really tired all the time. Naps were prevalent this past weekend as was hardcore indigestion. Finding cool outfits that fit is becoming increasingly difficult and my mood swings are getting harder to control. Hey, I'm hot, swollen, tired and PREGNANT! Give me a break! We are still working our way through Emma boutique but slowly and surely getting through all the adorable stuff we got for the shower!
Symptoms: Exhaustion, heartburn, acne, emotional, hip cramps, braxton hicks and swollen ankles and feet! Sometimes I think its a little bit of dehydration mixed with too much sodium, but lately it's been everyday.....I have a feeling its here to stay!
Yummy/Icky: Still loving me some ICE COLD water...and watermelon. The sweet tooth has kicked up, but mostly for things like ice cream and Popsicles.....probably because I'm so warm.
Clothing: Almost entirely maternity.....I miss my tee-shirts and shorts!
Movement: Definitely movements are more prevalent more of the day, although mostly just rolling around as opposed to kicking, but I love to watch my belly dance around.
Belly Button In/Out: I don't know how much longer I can call it a belly button.....more like a belly divot.
Wedding Rings On/Off: On, but tight..... :-(
Best Moment this Week: Getting to relax! Sometimes I just need a lounge day!
Looking forward to: Seeing baby girl in our ultrasound on Wednesday. Finishing going through all of Emma's stuff, packing her diaper bag and choosing a going home outfit, So many things to come!

ReplyDeletelove the pic! totally want to be doing the same
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting ice cold water and cold fruit as well! Was wishing I had watermelon last night! I ended up taking my ring off at 32 weeks because it was getting tight and I didn't want it to get stuck. I have noticed a slight amount of sodium does make the swelling worse for me or just a little lack of water will do it too. Your shower was so cute! We had one last weekend with friends and family and tomorrow we have another one with our church family. So fun to see all the cutsy girl stuff! Isn't it crazy that we are getting so close to the end of pregnancy?!
