35 Weeks

It's June! We are only one month away from my due date!  I am getting really excited for the Little Man's arrival.  Our Sweet Boy is most definitely running out of room and making me very uncomfortable.  The other day I lay down flat on our love seat with my legs up and when I went to sit up I pretty much started rocking around like a turtle on its back.  I ended up having to roll sideways off the couch into my hands and feet.  J had to work really hard to keep from laughing at me.  I can only imagine how ridiculous I must have looked.  While I love feeling the Little Dude moving around inside of me, I am getting tired of being pregnant and uncomfortable.  I'm ready to have my body back and have Baby M in my arms!
This week I worked on a couple of nursery projects.  I decided to go with a old fashioned rocking chair instead of a glider so I found one for $20 on craigslist and I have been working on painting it this weekend.  It needs one more coat tomorrow and I might antique it and then it will be ready to go.  I also covered a bunch of 10x10 canvases in fabric for the wall art above the crib and made a few pillows to go in it.  I'm almost finished with the nursery decor so hopefully I can do a full post of the finished nursery later this week.

Now onto the regular update:

How far along: 35 weeks
Baby is the size of a:  honeydew
Total Weight Gain: 24 lbs- I somehow manged to gain 3 pounds this week even though I did cardio five times and ate relatively healthy foods.  It's weird how weight gain works during pregnncy.  I am working at accepting what I gain as healthy and good for our Sweet Boy instead of letting it depress me.

Maternity Clothes: I have still been wearing mostly stretchy sun or maxi dresses.  I can wear normal yoga pants but everything else is maternity.

Sleep: I have been SO lucky to still be getting good sleep this far into my pregnancy.  I wake up a few times a night to shift or hit the bathroom but I have been able to fall back to sleep quickly so I'm very grateful for that!

Best Moment of the Week: Crossing off several projects on my to-do list to prep for Baby M.  I am so ready to get him here so I love crossing things off my list since it makes me feel closer to his arrival!

Miss Anything: Not feeling like an upside down turtle when I lay on my back.  I really just miss being comfortable.

Movement: The Little Dude is still extremely active and still seems to really like to kick me in the ribs.  The upside to this is that it means he is head down like he is supposed to be so I shouldn't have to worry about him being breach.

Food Cravings: Strawberries, watermelon and anything fried though I have only been giving in to the fruit.  I ate 3/4 of a watermelon and most of a 2 lb container of strawberries this week.  I also can't get enough of these sweet potato chips.

Symptoms: I'm just uncomfortable in general.  Still no signs of heartburn or fatigue.  I had some minor swelling when I was stuck in a hot humid room but it went away as soon as I cooled down.  I'm super grateful to be living in Southern California where it isn't humid and our highs are mostly in the 70s because it has kept me from puffing up. 

Labor Signs: Nope!

Belly Button In or Out: In but getting very, very shallow.

Looking Forward To: My California shower next weekend, my best friend coming to visit on Tuesday and my grandma, mom, sisters, and one of my brothers coming to visit! This is going to be a fun, busy week!
