35 Weeks Pregnant - 35 Days to go!

Only one more week until I am 9 months! All though full term is actually 10 months, I still feel like 36 weeks is going to be a HUGE milestone. I can hardly believe my sweet baby will be here in 5 or less weeks. I am so thankful that God allowed him to live and that all those doctors were wrong. Everyday I continue to pray for the health and safety of my child. He is the quickly becoming the most important person in my life. I just can't wait to hold him.

This week I am feeling kinda of blah-ish. I woke up a few days feeling like I was going to vomit but then never did. I have also been having insomnia at night, I will lay down but won't fall asleep for 2 hours. I also can no longer sit or stand for long periods of time, with out getting a ton of back pain. I seem to to OK at work because I am leaning back, but I can't sit forward for any length of time. I packed a few bags of Bear's stuff to take to Kissimmee this week as well, figured I would go ahead and start getting ready as I will be heading over there in just 2 and half short weeks :] I am beyond thrilled. I can't wait to be with Anthony 24/7 and I can't wait to start our new life together. The future looks so bright and I am so exited to see what God has in store for us.

35 Week Update (from babycenter.com)

"Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew). Because it's so snug in your womb, he isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain about the same. His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete – he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight."

34 Weeks Pregnant - 42 Days to go!

It's getting closer! only 42 days to go! I can hardly believe our sweet baby will be here that soon! I finished buying all the things that we need for Bear. There are still some things that I WANT but don't have to have, well see if I can get the money to buy those or not :]

The nursery is no where near even started yet, and won't be until my roommates leave around December 15th! So here's to hoping this little guy stays in until at least December 15th.

I am getting more and more stretch marks on my belly (super sad face). I am starting to feel really tired/fatigued and getting pains at night when I sleep. Overall, I am no longer comfortable and I am officially tired of being pregnant. I wore my first maternity pants this week. They were size small and still too big, but so comfy! I am so glad I got some, because I really felt like I was being strangled in my normal pants. I still haven't worn any maternity shirts, but I think I may need to soon as I only have like 3 shirts that will fit over my belly without it hanging out and making me look like a fat slob lol. Back pain also started this week. I have been having it at night mainly, and it is making sleeping hard and very uncomfortable. I really hope that its temporary and goes away soon.

The excitement is definitely setting in now! All though I am also kind of frantic/worried that everything wont get done in time with my apartment and the nursery. I am definitely in full blown nesting mode.

34 Week Update (from babycenter.com)

"Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers – which she'll need to regulate her body temperature once she's born – are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies. "

33 Weeks Pregnant - 49 Days to go!

I will not be doing a Muffin Tin Meal today as I am on vacation in Kissimmee with Anthony :]

Here is my weekly baby bump update:

This week my belly is feeling 10X bigger than last week! I can barley bend over, making simple tasks like tying my shoes or putting on my pants quite difficult  As my baby gets bigger, hes starting to get himself into odd positions some of which are painful to me! I think I even felt the out line of a leg a few days ago because he was pressed so hard in one direction against my skin. It was cool and painful at the same time :] I am feeling pretty good though, no nausea and the heartburn isn't really that bad, and I still haven't thrown up once during this pregnancy (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself) lol.

33 Week Update (from babycenter.com)

"How your baby's growing:

This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance. These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood."
