Baby #2 - 35 weeks

How far along: 35 weeks

 

Baby's size: Pineapple

 

Weight gain: Didn't weigh myself this morning, but I'm guessing 26lbs.

Maternity clothes: Ohhh yes...I bought these jersey lounge pants a few weeks ago and they have proven to be the BEST investment ever! I plan to buy another pair in black.

Stretch marks: None

Sleep: Ohhh...sleep...this week has been a total fluke, with Jacob being sick, so sleep hasn't really been great. However, it was so nice having Josh here over the weekend to help out and let me nap.

Gender: BOY!

Movement: LOTS! I'm starting to distinguish feet and hands and can seriously feel them poke out of my side!

Best moment this week: Josh and I had a lovely Thursday (while Jacob was at school). We had the carpets shampooed, went to brunch at one of our favorite restaurants, got some stuff done around the house and relaxed a bit together. We both commented on how weird and quiet it was without Jacob around. As much as we enjoyed our time together, we wouldn't change our wild life with little man for the world!

Worst moment this week: Prettttttttty much Friday thru today. So like all week? Ha! I just hate it when Jacob is sick!

Looking forward to: We're taking our maternity pictures on Monday. Can't wait for that! :)

Food cravings: My stomachs been a little squirrely lately too, so I haven't been in the mood for much.

Weirdest food I ate this week: Nothing, really...

Anything making you queasy or sick: All the BARF...

Labor signs: None

Symptoms: Braxton Hicks, light cramping, sore back, tired, hemorrhoids, baby brain, itchy stomach, linea negra, melasma on my face, and I had a few painful cramps over the weekend.

Workouts: Nada!

What I miss: WINE and a general feeling of comfort...

Similarities/differences between last pregnancy: Very similar. Check out my last pregnancy at 35 weeks here.

Things that suck: Jacob being sick!

Things that don't suck: This awesome weather! Yay for Fall (minus the sickies)!

Total weight gain: 28+ lbs
Maternity clothes? Maternity jeans and a few maternity tops...loving maxi dresses right now, too!

Best moment this week: Gosh...a lot happened this week!  We had our 34-week check-up and got an ultrasound.  Jacob is doing really good.  He's measuring at 17.8" and 5lbs 4oz.  He's also still head down, which is awwwwwesome!!! He had hiccups while we were in the ultrasound - it was so cute to see him bounce up and down.  :)  We took our maternity photos on Thursday - I can't wait to share those with everyone, they look amazing!!  I met a few of my old coworkers for brunch at La Fiorentina in Dallas this weekend - it was so great to see them, and the food was phenom! Definitely recommend the Nutella-stuffed french toast...to die!  We also made a lot of progress in the nursery this weekend.  I finally had the carpets cleaned, so it's go time now :)

Looking forward to: My Austin shower is on Sunday!  I'm sooo excited to see all my friends & family, many I haven't seen since I've been pregnant!  It will also be nice to get back to Austin and be on the lake for a little bit.  Although, I'm really not looking forward to the drive - I have a feeling we'll be stopping a lot for potty breaks. :)  I told Josh we have to take the carseat and hospital bags, just in case I go into labor while we're there.  Crazy to think Jacob will be full term in 2 WEEKS!!!

A picture of our baby's sweet face :) Can't wait to meet him!

His foot is measuring at 3" already!!!

His hand/arm were in his face, so it was kinda hard to get a good profile picture.
