35 Weeks

This post shall be short, just for my own record.

How far along: 35 weeks

Weight Gain: 26 lbs

Symptoms: Same as last week, but a bit more fatigue. I could have napped all day today!

Beanie's Position: Head down, butt right up against my right rib/breast, one leg under my left rib and other in between.  Her butt position does make me somewhat uncomfortable. I can no longer sleep on my right side and many time have to sit up straight and gently apply pressure to move her down a bit. I think its just getting really tight for her.

Baby Size: Honeydew melon.

Sleep: Its been pretty good since I started taking the nighttime low dose of Zantac. I wake up more, but am able to fall back to sleep easily.

Baby Movement: Ongoing, but varies day to day depending how energetic she is feeling. I can now clearly feel hard spots (knees/elbows/butt) and lumps on my belly as she moves around. Its pretty cool.  A few days back I was feeling shooting pains in my cervix - thought I was dilating - but after quick google I figured it was was her head hitting me :-)

Cravings: Chocolate walnut brownies or anything chocolate - still not giving into it.

Exercise: Daily stationary bike and some yoga poses.

Emotions: Pretty good.  I have some moments of anxiousness thinking about future layoff, Beanie's health, etc. but try to just focus on here and now.

Tasks completed:  Washed some of Beanie's clothes. I am not doing her entire wardrobe just some newborn and 0-3 mos stuff.  Purchased diapers, bathing items. I have picked a daycare and will pay the deposit this week to book  a spot. Regardless of the job situation I would rather have a spot than be against the wall.
