Weekly Update: 35 Weeks

How far along: 35 Weeks. I'm at 35/35 which means I have 35 weeks down and only 35 days to go. Crazy. I can't believe I'll have a baby next month.

How Am I Feeling?: Not as good this week. Maybe I'm overworking myself. Yes, I know I'm unemployed. I've still been really busy though. My legs are super restless every night and I still have hip pain. Last night, I'm pretty sure the baby's foot was lodged in my ribcage which was actually very painful.

Mood: Excited.

Clothes: I don't fit it some of my maternity clothes anymore. I'm hoping what I have will last me the rest of the time. Don't make fun if I wear the same shirt every day.

Sleep: Terrible. I can't sleep through the night. It's not just that I get up a couple times each night to go to the bathroom and then go back to sleep. It's that I wake up and I can't go back to sleep for an hour or more.

Cravings: none right now

Gender: girl

Movements: She is moving quite a bit. And by moving, I mean every time she moves, I can see and feel my entire stomach shifting. It's the weirdest/coolest thing ever.

Belly Button: Ugh. It's sticking out and you can totally tell in some shirts I wear and depending on how many layers I have on.

Best Moment This Week: My sister is finally coming home and she'll finally get to see me and my bump!

What I Miss: Sleeping without pain. Being able to roll over without making a huge production over it.

What I am Looking Forward To: Seeing my sister at noon today.

Milestones This Week: none

How Big is Baby?: According to The Bump, the baby is still the size of a honeydew.

Your Baby: 35 Weeks
Your baby is getting plump. The fat deposits are now beginning to offer form and fullness to your baby's legs and arms. Your baby is taking up most of the room in your uterus, so there is a lot less room to move around. Also, your baby's lungs are now completely developed and producing what is called surfactant, a substance that helps in the exchange of oxygen in the lungs. Your baby is now approximately 18 inches long and weighs about five pounds. If you were to have your premature baby now, you'd be happy to know that there is a 99 percent chance of the baby surviving.
