35 Weeks!

How big is the baby this week: Emersyn is the size of a butternut squash!

Due Date: May 8, 2012, but I'm hoping she comes a little early:)

Weight Gain: Up 2 lbs this week. Running total: 22 lbs.

Symptoms: Big ol' belly, near constant rib and back pain, etc. Feet and hands have started to swell by the end of the day. Pretty much all the things you expect at this point in pregnancy.

Cravings: Milk.

Aversions: Nadda.

Sleep: Not good at all at this point. I'm sleeping on the couch to help with back pain, and I had one awesome night of sleep, but while E used to move a lot during the day and sleep at night, she's now very active from about 7pm to 10am and then seems to take a little break during the day. Makes for a lot of wake ups.

I am loving: Foot rubs from hubs for my swollen feet.

I miss: Sleep. And Ellie:(

I am looking forward to: my parents coming down this weekend to help us with some projects and be here for Easter!

I'm spazzing about: Technically I'm full term in two weeks, so we're trying to have everything ready to go by then, which means I have a lot of stuff to do!

Best thing about this week: Getting our maternity pics done, ordering her bookshelf, and getting in her bedding!

Milestones: At 35 weeks there is only 35 days until our due date! Most of her basic physical development is done now, and she's just putting on weight. At 34 weeks she was already 5 lbs 11 oz!

Movement: Usually painful:( But happy she's still active and healthy in there.

It's a...: Girl!!! Emersyn Grace:)
