update: baby W

how far along? 35 weeks

baby's size? W is the size of a honeydew melon. 5.25 to 5.5 lbs and 18 to 21 inches.

weight gain/loss? i'm up 24 pounds and the doctor says i can expect to gain about a pound a week now so probably around 30 by the time we're done. not bad since they told me no more than 35!

maternity clothes? of course and even some of those are getting a bit tight!

starting to show? i feel like everything is getting bigger and bigger but really it's just my bump.

belly button in or out? still in, thank goodness!

stretch marks? nope.

wedding rings on or off? on and i'm planning on keeping it that way by drinking my weight in water!

sleep? i got a bit more sleep this week than before but it's still a rough process. i toss and turn all night but my afternoon naps are a delight!

movement? moving a lot this week.

labor signs? some BH contractions. found out W's head down and pretty low so he's getting ready!

best moment this week? had a doctors appointment Monday and heard his strong heartbeat. the doc also said she thinks he'll be early (please, Lord!).

food cravings? sweet tarts or anything sour lately.

what i miss: my non-maternity clothes, diet soda (no aspartame for this momma) and sleeping more than 5 to 6 hours at a time (but i don't think this one's coming back anytime soon!)

anything making you queasy or sick? nothing too bad,  heartburn is most likely here to stay until baby boy comes out.

what i'm looking forward to: going to dallas this weekend! our last shower is on sunday and we'll be spending time with my parents and T's so i'm excited to get away for a few days. although, my doc didn't seem to thrilled about that!

how are you feeling? feeling pretty good. everything's getting so real. we had our tour of the hospital on Monday and it just hit me that in five weeks we should have our baby boy (and i'll go through labor, yikes!). if the doc is right we might just have an april baby!
