We're almost full term!

We had a weekly OB appointment today. Everything looks good! I gained one pound in the last two weeks bringing my weight gain to about 15 pounds total. The fundal height measures at 34 cm, which is right on track. Additionally, he told us that I am already 2cm dilated & halfway effaced! Although this really means nothing in terms of when the baby arrives, I'm glad to know that my body is cooperating and starting to get ready for her to be here with us :) We go back next week!

Week 35 Update

Weekly Update:


How far along?: 35 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 14.5 - just got weighed on today at the OB appt.

Maternity Clothes?: Pants - Absolutely, Shirts - again, absolutely.

Stretch Marks?: A ton :(

Sleep: Better some days than others. Naps are pretty much a must if I want to stay awake past 9pm.

Best moment this week: Got a few presents & baby packages in the mail. Getting things besides bills is always an exciting moment!

Movement: Basically all the time still. Sometimes it can even be painful and I push the hand/arm/leg back into my stomach area.

Food cravings: Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

Gender: GIRL!!

Labor Signs: none, thankfully

Belly Button in or out?: Depends on the baby's position, but normally flat or out.

What I miss: My non-maternity winter clothes.

What I am looking forward to: Being able to sit up/stand up off the floor without assistance.


Weekly Wisdom: Snow Blizzards + Being 8 months Pregnant = Stay at Home.

Milestones: Made a complete "shopping list" of what we still need for her. Hopefully we can get everything ordered/purchased and crossed off the list soon!
