35 Weeks, 6 Days....Let's Just Call it 36 Weeks!!!!!

A little blurry, a little dark but very thankful Vince was willing to
 take one more picture after our maternity shoot tonight. 
 

How far along? 35 Weeks, 6 Days

Maternity clothes? Jeans and tops. Just got a few pants for going back to school and my awesome daddy is making me a few new shirts. This belly gets bigger and bigger. 

Sleep: Sleep changes daily. The hip and leg pain has set in. Some nights I can get comfy, some nights I toss and turn. I miss actual, restful sleep! And I know Vince does too. When he's not on shift and home with me, he worries about me getting up constantly and he's missing some well deserved rest!

Best moment this week: When I went to my appointment today she decided to go ahead and check my cervix, not expecting to find anything but, SURPRISE!! We're already dilated to 3! Maybe TMI, but definitely a high for this week. Everything is getting very real! Also, our church hosted an amazing baby shower for us on Sunday. We appreciate everyone who came and showed their love for Baby Girl! Oh, and it's been so great having Vince home for the entire long weekend!
  
Miss Anything? Sleep, Sleep, Sleep!  I miss sleep.  I'm starting to miss a cold adult beverage but I'm surviving! In addition, I miss ankle bones!

Movement: Yes! She kicks her momma a lot! It feels like she's in there rolling around all the time!

Food cravings: Anything I don't have to cook, and anything sweet!!!
 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really...bad smells and too hot showers, but that rarely gets me going! So for now, we're just not cursing anything.


Gender: Baby Girl!

Labor Signs: Nope, thank goodness! Felt a few Braxton Hicks for the first time last week though.

Symptoms: Heartburn, fatigue, swelling (hello giant sausage feet!), pregnancy brain, leg cramps, hot flashes (ugh!)

Belly Button in or out? Depending on where Baby Girl is laying; most of the time my belly button is flat. But more and more lately it's pushing it's way out.

Wedding rings on or off? It's off :( I can still get it on but I swell throughout the day making my ring incredibly snug and uncomfortable but I'm wearing another diamond band for now. I miss my big pretty ring!


Happy or Moody most of the time: For the most part, happy! But I'm getting sassy! I snapped a couple times this past week; oops! 

Looking forward to: Having normal feet back! No matter what shoes I wear at the end of the day I always look at my feet and say, 'holy sausage feet'. I'm also looking forward to seeing some of our maternity pictures!!! We had photos done on Labor Day and I can't wait to get them back! Also, I'm looking forward to celebrating our 2nd Anniversary on September 3rd; I can't believe we've been married for 2 years already!!! This month will also mark 10 full years of being together; that's pretty amazing if I do say so myself. And of course, we're looking forward to holding our precious baby girl in our arms; things are so close!!!!

Daddy Moment: I've got a good husband and Baby Girl will have an amazing Daddy! Every day, he continues to support me, care for me and get excited for our little girl's arrival. I can't think of one single moment that stands out because he's been awesome; even when I've been tough to be around!
