35 weeks.

How far along? 35 Weeks
Maternity clothes? yep - literally  maternity pants/dresses/shirts and Rick's shirts from here on out!
Stretch marks? none yet
Sleep: I am starting to wake up a few times a night, heartburn, being uncomfortable, the difficulty in rolling over.... I think my body is just preparing for zero sleep.
Best moment this week: My work surprised me with a baby shower last week! So sweet!!! And getting out all of my Halloween decorations, this is my favorite time of year!

Miss Anything? I miss a lot of things..but this experience has been pretty darn amazing & I'm a little sad that it's almost over.
Movement: still lots of movement.. hoping to feel the momentous partial somersault any day now......The rib shots are pretty constant.
Food cravings: I am literally to the point where I want candy after every single meal.
Anything making you queasy or sick: still salads- sure hope this goes away!
Gender: Surprise!!
Labor Signs: No, but crazy to think it will only be a very short time now!
Symptoms: overall feeling pretty great, other than lots of pressure in my belly as it continues to grow & some pain in my hips & ribs. I think walking every night with my neighbor Katie has helped strengthen my back.
Belly Button in or out? out
Wedding rings on or off? off..... I so miss my wedding bling.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Had a mini breakdown this week at the grocery store when no one would help me lift my pallet of water into my cart or into my trunk, and then looked at all the groceries I had to unload, and I was so so tired... but Rick quickly left work to help me unload the trunk, after that- so very happy.
Looking forward to: baby's arrival of course! Maternity photos are in a couple of weeks!! (late I know, but I would wait to 40 weeks to have the Pied Piper take the pics) ALSO, can't wait to share the nursery with you all very soon! :)

34 weeks.

Maternity clothes? maternity & comfy clothes... so ready for sweat pants and uggs! I'm getting sick of rotating sundresses!
Stretch marks? none - don't know how that's possible, but none!
Sleep: very tired, but wake up in the middle of the night with heartburn! Sleeping sitting up is an art form.
Best moment this week: Our 4D sonogram.... It was so so cool! I mean, I don't think anything could be cuter... Check it out:

Miss Anything? sitting comfy on the couch or laying in bed without my stomach falling asleep. And sub sandwiches.
Movement: still love feeling all of the babe's hiccups & random wiggles
Food cravings:Candy, candy, candy. Oh, and cinnamon rolls.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Seafood and homemade salads still make me wanna ralph.
Gender: SURPRISE!
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: the heartburn never ends, back pain, Braxton Hicks. The usual....
Belly Button in or out? out
Wedding rings on or off? off .... so sad!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: baby's arrival! Seems so surreal at this point, I can not wait to see the baby's precious face & hold him or her for the first time.

Total weight gain: 20 pounds gained, feels like more! 
Maternity clothes? maternity & comfy clothes...
Stretch marks? no
Sleep: sleeping well- more tired than a few weeks ago, and I don't move much during the night because it is so hard to roll over!
Best moment this week: Thinking about and talking with the girls that are planning my baby shower... I am so so excited! I am having it after the babe comes, so it is crazy he/she will be here by then! We also had our hospital tour. Seeing where the babe will be born is so nuts!
Miss Anything? sandwiches and alcohol.... the usual.
Movement: still love feeling all of his/her hiccups (happening as I type this) & random wiggles, I think it is getting squished in there.
Food cravings: fresh fruit, and baked goods. I made a strawberry-pear smoothie, chicken and dumplings, and a homemade pear tart with stuff from my bountiful basket. I was barefoot in the kitchen for hours yesterday-the house smelled amazing!
Anything making you queasy or sick: still no desire to eat seafood, or homemade salads. Maybe I just don't want to do the work of washing and chopping.
Gender: SURPRISE!
Labor Signs: No ....so crazy to think this could be in the next few weeks?! I wonder if I'll be one of those people whose water breaks while I'm lurking around Target. Lotsa Braxton Hicks tho!
Symptoms: heartburn & lack of mobility - otherwise honestly feeling great
Belly Button in or out? It can officially be considered an outie.
Wedding rings on or off? meh... they could fit- but it's tight. I have been sporting other rings instead :)
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Our 4D ultrasound this weekend! And Maternity photos only a few weeks away (I hope I am still pregnant). This baby thing is getting super real now, man!
