35 Week Bumpdate

How Far Along:

35 Weeks & 3 days

One month from tomorrow!
January 4th is my due date.

Baby is the size of a:

 Mmmmm coconuts!!

Makes me think of making 7 Layer Magic Bars...

Weight Gain:

Oh yeah...over 50.
I don't really need to disclose actual numbers, do I?

Clothes:
I'm down to one pair of the three maternity jeans that I actually like wearing.

I live in yoga pants, tank tops, and sports bras.
Case in point:

Oh yeah, keepin it real on the blog...
I showered, but no makeup.
No hair done.
No hottness.
You're welcome.
I didn't take any pictures this week of my 'cute outfits.'

All my t-shirts ride up and show my belly.

If I do leave the house, I'll try to wear a cardi/scarf,

but as soon as I'm home I am back in comfy clothes.
I really don't care about being that cute as much as before...

The only shoes that fit currently are Uggs -short, not tall. 
I actually wore them with

 my black ON maternity dress
Grey long drapey cardi from my mom
and a pop of pink scarf.
I got a lot of compliments...
I was going to get a massage=messy bun

  Other than those, I have a pair of sneakers,
which, I need my dear husband to tie for me.

I wear a lot of fuzzy socks around the house...

Stretch Marks:

Still no!!!

{Still crossing fingers?!}

Sleep:

I have had trouble falling asleep,

but I do sleep.

I get up 3-5 times a night.

Best moment of the week:

Pre-natal massage.

Heavenly and much enjoyed.
I'm loving that 

Baby girl squirms a lot!

Still kicks/punches with a lot of force.

My husband had Sat-Monday off

We ordered Netflix and began watching

How I met Your Mother.

We stayed in our pjs all day Saturday, had a fire going,

and just relaxed.

 We are really soaking in these last few quiet weeks just the two of us.

Cravings:

Literally had one for chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

Good thing I had all the ingredients!

Still loving my whole milk.

Steak.

Salads.

Smoothies.

Oatmeal.

I think my heartburn isn't as bad as before; I had pizza this weekend too!

Symptoms:

I still have bad hip pain, but I really try to just take a lot of breaks.

If I'm standing for awhile,

I'll be sure to sit..

then lay on my left side.

I just listen to my body.

I've been getting very hungry this week.

VERY thirsty--I am constantly asking Joe to bring me more water.

Rings:

Still on!!

Even my feet/ankles aren't bad at all.

I am really watching my salt...

and really trying to watch my sugar--easier said than done.

Mood:
Very happy...and very in love with my husband.
Being pregnant isn't easy,
and it requires a lot of communication and support.
Joe really helped out a lot yesterday when we had family over,
and I could not be more thankful.
I watched our mini wedding videos and balled.
I cannot believe that we're about to top the happiest day of our lives....

 I'm getting really excited!

I  have thoughts of worry from time to time,

as to be expected.

I've never given birth before!!
But I remind myself that women are made to do this,

and they've been doing this for a very, very long time!
I just cannot wait to hold our little girl.

So, yes, I am getting really really ready!
Belly Button:

That sucker is slowly making its way out!
It's kinda creepy.

Joe and I really didn't think it'd become an outtie,

but now I'm not so sure. 

I'm still sticking with the turkey popper theory.

Looking Foward to:

Girls' Night at my house Wednesday

Getting our tree maybe next weekend..

we just needed a chill these last few days.
In a little over a month,
my life will change for the better,
forever.
I am so blessed.
