32 Days!

how far along: 35 Weeks, 3 Days

due date: August 7th, 4 weeks and 4 days to go! Though tomorrow is July 7 and that is one month away from August 7th!

size of the baby: Approximately 19-22 inches (hopefully she doesn't grow any longer!) and 5.5 lbs. Though I think she might weigh a tad more than that since 3 weeks ago she weighed 4.8lbs.

baby is: hiccuping due to her intake of the amniotic fluid to help her learn to breathe on her own outside of the womb.

movement: yep! she butt bumps me and pushes all the way out at the top of my stomach sometimes. 

gender: girl

total weight gain: welp, yesterday at the doctors i was 173.4. i'm OK with it.

stretch marks: nah. any that i can see are very faded. i'm not super worried about this either!

symptoms: reflux still, overall being very warm. it's in the 90's here this week and incredibly humid. on my way to work it was 81 degrees (at 8:45am). i sleep without any covers or sheets in my nightgown and still sweat.

wedding rings on or off: off. i wore just my band yesterday and the rash came back. so no rings for the rest of the pregnancy probably.

belly button in or out: sort of in? sort of just flat with the rest of my stomach.

maternity clothes: duh. also, new bras have now been pushed to the last clasp they can. if i grow anymore, i'll have to buy a bra extender.

  

sleep: not great. up and down constantly, hot, can't get comfortable, back aches.

missing: feeling comfortable when i lay down at night. i used to long for the comfort of my bed, now i just sort of dread going to sleep.

cravings/aversions: chocolate milk and ice cream.

cries: we went to a wedding on Saturday and I cried at the father/daughter dance. it's always the relationship of the father/daughter at weddings that gets me.

nursery: almost done! Jesse just has to hang things on walls and then we are good to go!

Jesse is: working a lot. whether at work, or at home, he is always cleaning something or buying things for the house or making money. i know maternity leave isn't a vacation. i know that. but part of me just looks forward to being able to hang out with him and our new baby.

best moments: probably hanging out at my mom's house on Sunday night. we had dinner and played games and generally just lounged. it felt nice and normal.

not so best moments: being hot and irritated. when you're this pregnant, you don't want to do anything but get your house ready and things like work and being places at certain times become a hassle.

looking forward to: the weekend of course. no work, jesse is off which will be nice, and we are getting together with friends we haven't seen in a long time.

next appointment: next tuesday. i'm every week now and i will find out if i have the group b strep or not.
