35 weeks + 4 days

today michael and i went to our first weekly "exam" appointment. i think everyone made it seem like this exam was horrible, so i prepared for horrible and it really wasn't that bad. PHEW. the nurse made me nervous at first, so my blood pressure was high. they took it after the exam and it went back down to normal. little scare there, but all is well. to my surprise i'm already 1.5cm dilated and 75% effaced. doctor thompson never used the word "early" but he did say i'm progressed faster than most women at this stage, so that was pretty cool. my feet were very swollen, which i blame for standing on them for 3 hours at work today. he also told me that her head is very low, which i've definitely felt the past few days, but it didn't bother me too much. crazy how real this is getting. who knows how ready i really am!

how far along? 35 weeks and 4 days
weight gain? 25 lbs! packing it on :)
maternity clothes? i'm still squeezing into a few big t shirts, but other than that, maternity is the only thing comfortable!
sleep? i've been sleeping a lot better, minus peeing every 2 hours.
best moment this week? last week we got our car seat and stroller. that was pretty awesome:)
weird pregnancy moment? very clumsy and forgetful.
movement? i feel every little movement. sometimes it's cool, other times it really hurts.
food cravings? SNOW CONES. and ice. anything with ice. i love ice. too bad it doesn't have any nutrients..
anything make you queasy? at work when they slice certain meats. gag me.
missing anything? sleeping on my tummy. looking good in a swimming suit. and my body. ah well, it's worth it, right?
symptoms? swelling, acid reflex, frequent urination, and feeling quite crammed. i'm sure she is, too!
happy or moody? i get really moody at work. some people there really piss me off. ha!
looking forward to anything? my baby shower is this weekend, and i really can't wait for that. it'll be fun to see all my family and friends in one place at one time!

bumpdate: week 29 (a week + 4 days late)

week 29 has come and gone. here is my bumpdate for those of you that care:)

How Far Along? 29 weeks! Weight Gain: about 15ish lbs. my doc wants to keep it under 30 total, so I feel like I'm doing okay! Maternity Clothes? Most definitely! If I want to dress up cute, I have to wear maternity. Otherwise, Michael's big tee's are prime. Sleep? HA! That's a funny joke. The past month I've had a UTI, head cold, and now an eye infection. It's been one thing after another. So, no sleep. Best moment this week? I love feeling her kick, and especially seeing Michael's face when he gets to feel her. It's pretty normal for me now, but he still lights up every time:) Weird pregnancy moment? I lose my balance quite often. I'm always tripping over nothing, literally. Movement: All. The. Time. She gets the hiccups on a daily basis. It's quite cute. Food Cravings: I've been on a sweets kick lately. Not candy though. Anything cakey, cookie, or brownie. YUM.  Anything making you queasy? Thank goodness that is over. Missing anything? I made a bad decision of looking at pictures from last summer..in my swimsuit. It was quite depressing.  Symptoms? Lack of sleep. Pretty uncomfortable. Nothing TOO serious. Happy or Moody? Lately I've been pretty happy. I joke that my husband and I haven't fought a ton lately. What I'm looking forward to: My baby shower! And obviously her getting here. :)

 HER BEDDING CAME!

I was honestly (a bit) nervous because we ordered it from a lady 

off of Etsy, but it turned out better than I expected! 

I love it!
