35 weeks

How far along? 35 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: + 19lbs from pre-pregnancy. Um, guess my post-cold appetite picked up.
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? Yes
Sleep: Using 2-3 pillows under my head and sleeping with my Snugglie between my knees.
Best moment this week: Realizing how close we are getting to having another baby, getting a few big things checked off of my to-buy list, & getting our maternity/family pictures back!
Worst moment this week: Having to work on our anniversary AND the night of Father's Day :(
Movement: Lots & lots & lots.
Food cravings: See the weight gain entry? Uh, I think I've been craving food in general.
Gender: Still a girl as far as we know, but Greg keeps asking me, "What if it's a boy?" Well, I think we know how to handle a boy at this point.
Labor Signs: Yup. I've been having contractions off and on for several days now. When I go to the doctor on Tuesday morning and have to have my group B strep test done, I'm going to ask for an internal to be sure that I'm not dilating.
Belly Button in or out? Barely allowed to be called a belly button anymore. Looks more like a weird fleshy patch.
What I miss: My husband being around. Sleeping through the night.
What I am looking forward to: Getting all of the baby stuff in the house, getting our house sold, packing our hospital bag . . . the list goes on and on
Milestones: 35 weeks down, 35 days to go!
Technical baby news: Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month. 17.2-18.7 inches, 4.2-5.8 lbs. Baby G is the size of a honeydew this month!

Closer and closer to the July date!! Hang in there, stay out of the heat and let Brock help you out! Hopefully Daddy got some things caught up at home today and you got some rest. Maybe Baby G knows how much you love the 4th of July and waiting to make a grand entrance! CALL IF YOU NEED ANYTHING! I will be working on food for you all this week.
Love,
Nana and Papa
