How far along: 35 Weeks with Baby Girl!
Size of Baby: Honeydew! The books say she's probably around 5 lbs. and 18 in. or so long.
Weight Gain: No idea. I haven't weighed myself since the last dr. appt.
Maternity Clothes: I have nothing new to write here...
Sleep: Not my best friend these days. So uncomfortable.
Foods I'm loving: Dessert and fruit. Nothing weird or abnormal...people ask me all the time if I've had any cravings...the answer is no. I can't remember craving anything throughout the entire pregnancy. I can't really say I crave sugar...it's just something I know I shouldn't have much of and so because of that it seems like I want it all the time. I did think the other day that it would be nice to drink a coke...I haven't been drinking much of anything other than water the entire pregnancy, and if I do it's juice or milk.
Foods I'm hating: Nothing at all and I haven't had heartburn in over a week!!! It has been glorious.
Movement: Slowing down a little. For most of the pregnancy I haven't noticed her being more or less active at any time of day. Now she seems to have times where she's more active. After lunch and in the evening. She's pretty still and quiet all morning. She used to be really active when I lay down...she still moves some then but not like she used to. Running out of space!
Best moment this week: My birthday! I have to say I did not want to turn 29 but I didn't get much say in that. I really had a great birthday though. My mom made apple pie per my request...my FAVORITE...only when she makes it though...I never order it at restaurants or buy it at grocery stores cause it's gross. I got an AMAZING gift from my sister, Rebekah...TONS of clothes for Baby Girl...filling in some gaps that we had in her wardrobe. I was so excited about it I laid it all out today and looked at everything again. I also got gifts and money from several family members...I have no idea what I'll spend the money on...I usually take months deciding what to spend money on. Daniel took me out today for our birthday date. I decided I wanted to go to Ted's Montana Grill and then PF Changs for dessert because they have the BEST chocolate cake EVER. It's so huge I had to bring half home and I can't wait to dig into it again.
What I miss: Nothing new here
What I'm looking forward to: My brother, Seth, comes in from England this weekend to visit for a couple of weeks...should be fun!
Side Note: My niece, Lily, got to feel the belly when Baby Girl was moving like crazy...my belly was going all over the place. Lily said, "that's kind of weird!" That was her favorite phrase all weekend!
WIll be praying for you these next few weeks. Not that I am queen of giving advice or anything but here are a few things I would recommend and I wish I had known: Do your kegels!!!! (my one and only nursey advice ) lol Try to rest now (resist the urge to scrub those baseboards) lol Once Baby Girl comes home you will need all your energy :) :) Take all the help anyone wants to give those first few weeks. (people bringing you supper etc) Be prepared that you may not feel yourself that first week or two after as your hormones try to level. That is normal!!!!! It will be a HUGE change but God will be there with you and Daniel and yall are gonna be great parents because you already have that foundation of Jesus Christ being first in your marriage. Love you guys!!!!!!!
