How far along? 35 weeks
Total weight gain/loss? I am a little concerned, I think I gained about 5 lbs since my last appointment last Wed. Let's hope I am wrong. My mom says not to worry because I ate a lot of ham this week and it could be water weight. If I did gain 5 lbs., then I am up over 30 lbs.
Maternity cloths? Yup....trying to hold out and buying anything new. :)
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep? I haven't been sleeping all too bad lately. I do get up a few times a night to use the bathroom but that is it.
Best moment last week? My sister took a few pics of my huge belly.
Movement? She has definitely been moving a lot this week. My sister could not believe you can see movement through my skin. When she saw it, she said it was a bit freaky.
Food cravings? Sweets and coffee....if I did gain 5 lbs, I definitely need to lay off the sweets.
Gender? A little girl
Labor signs? I think I have been having a few Braxton Hicks but nothing concerning.
Belly button in or out? My belly button is still in, I will be surprised if it pops out but I guess it could in the final weeks.
What I miss? Margarita....not sure why because I don't usually drink them
What I am looking forward to? My second shower this Sunday.
Milestones? 35 Weeks pregnant, 35 days to go.

34 Weeks
How far along? 34 weeks
Total weight gain/loss? I gained 4 lbs in 3 weeks...ugh. I did have a growth spurt, my belly popped out. So total gained 26.5 lbs.
Maternity cloths? I think I need to buy some more short-sleeved maternity shorts. My regular shirts still fit but they creep up a little too much.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep?I have been sleeping pretty good but I do get up several times a night to use the bathroom.
Best moment last week? We had our baby shower last Sat. and we got a lot of much needed stuff. Thank you everyone.
Movement? Lots of movement up in my ribs...ouch!!
Food cravings? Starbucks Iced Coffees and sweets...not good.
Gender? A little girl
Labor signs? Nothing this week.
Belly button in or out? The belly button is still in but it is getting shallower and shallower as the weeks go by.
What I miss? A lot of stuff but nothing really specific
What I am looking forward to? My second shower in a week.
Milestones? We made it to 34 weeks. I just read babies born between 34-37 weeks, although early, usually do just as well as babies born full term. They might have a short NICU stay and have a few hurtles in the first few weeks but they grow to be just as strong.

Baby Size Compared to a Fruit...33-36 Weeks (8 months)
Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.
33 Weeks
How far along? 33 weeks
Total weight gain/loss? At my last dr. appt., I had not gained any weight. I am pretty sure I have gained a few pounds since then. I am going to assume 24-25 lbs total.
Maternity cloths? I can still wear some of my regular shirts but they are starting to creep up and my maternity pants are getting a bit tight. I might have to invest in a few more items.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep?I was sleeping pretty good and then last night I did not sleep well at all. It felt like I was waking every few minutes to roll over. I have had a bit of a cold, so I think the congestion might be keeping me up also.
Best moment last week? We had a growth u/s and she is measuring right on track, approx. 3 lbs 13 oz
Movement? Lots of movement up in my ribs...ouch!!
Food cravings? Nothing really this week...well maybe Starbucks Iced Coffees
Gender? A little girl
Labor signs? I have been having some mild, period like cramping but it is not consistent. I am going to assume it is not labor.
Belly button in or out? The belly button is still in but it is getting shallower and shallower as the weeks go by.
What I miss? A lot of stuff but nothing really specific
What I am looking forward to? My first shower is tomorrow. Let's hope it goes off without a hitch.

Baby Size Compared to a Fruit...29-32 Weeks (7 months)
Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.
30 Weeks
How far along? 30 weeks
Total weight gain/loss? I am going to assume 23-24 lbs.
Maternity cloths? It is funny, all along I have said I wear maternity clothes but in reality, I wear maternity pants and can still wear regular shirts.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep?Ha...I think I am being prepared for night feedings. I fall asleep on the couch around 8pm and sleep pretty good. Richard wakes me to go to bed and it takes awhile to get comfortable and fall back to sleep. Usually, I get up several times during the night to let the dog out, go to the bathroom or get a drink. I woke before my alarm and usually can't fall back to sleep. :(
Best moment last week? We had our 3d u/s last week. There is a picture where I think she looks just like me dad. We also realized she is stubborn. She was asleep during the u/s and no matter how much we moved/poked her, she would not woke up.
Movement? Lots of movement in the morning and evening
Food cravings? Sweets, chocolate and ice cream
Gender? A little girl
Labor signs? Nothing this week
Belly button in or out? In
What I miss? Not having anxiety.
What I am looking forward to? My shower in a few weeks.
