weekly Belly Picture - Week 35

How far along? 35 weeks.

Total weight gain? 29lbs

Body changes? numbness and tickling feeling between breasts (I think from baby pushing into my rib cage). Slightly swollen fingers but not ankles.

Sleep: Better. Back is suddenly not bothering me at night anymore. Thank goodness.

Best moment this week: Spending the day with Brad at the mall getting my bday present, push and in replacement of a baby moon present..all in one.

Gender: GIRL :)

Food Cravings / Aversions: Still craving ice cream! And pretty much anything sweet. I just love sweetness! I also have an enormous appetite when I eat. Food is delicious! Also loving

yoghurt, apples, bread, and pizza!

What I miss? My old body! Working out and sweating. Certain foods and to be able to do stuff around the house that I just can't do now (getting handy around the house, lots of gardening etc.)

Symptoms: Feeling great! Occasional tiredness in afternoon...a 20 minute nap does wonders! Thirsty a lot.

Movement: Yes. But she seems quite comfortable in my belly. For some reason I think she

is laying sideways right now...I will find out more next Friday at my last ultra sound. So curious to see where she's at and how things are progressing.

What I am looking forward to? Getting my dissertation proposal done and getting my IRB completed. Meeting my baby girl!

Milestones: Getting back in shape and eating less sweets!

Thought of the week: Trying to fully take in my last few weeks of freedom and life that revolves around "just" me....big changes ahead!
