* picture actually taken on Monday, 5/6 (37 weeks exactly) because I felt horrible over the weekend and was in no condition for pictures! Close enough!
How Far Along: 35 weeks, 6 days
Size of baby: over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). (according to www.babycenter.com)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: well, it was 36 lbs as of my 34 week appointment, but when I went this week I was down a pound…..so 35 lbs. (probably just a difference in water retention/swelling!)
Movement: Her movements have slowed down some….probably b/c she’s running out of room! She is still most active in the evening or early morning.
Sleep: HORRIBLE these past few days. I have had terrible heartburn and I also got sick over the weekend.
Symptoms: heartburn, reflux, heartburn, reflux and more heartburn. I also came down with a cough and congestion over the weekend and felt TERRIBLE on Saturday. We hosted a crawfish boil for Rhett’s co-workers and I had almost no sleep Friday night (b/c of heartburn and coughing) and I missed most of the get together. I was so out of it. I slept (when I wasn’t coughing) from about 1:30 – 4:30pm. I finally came out around 6pm to get something to eat. I’m sure his co-workers were like “whoa, what happened to her?!” Poor Rhett had to host and handle Aubrey (Caleb was semi self sufficient b/c there were other kids to play with). Luckily, another co-worker of his does all the crawfish stuff so Rhett didn’t have to do that. Aubrey has a little bit of this crud too, so we stayed home from church on Sunday. And I should mention that I guess this started with Caleb b/c he was under the weather last week and turns out he had an ear infection. We haven’t been sick in about 2 months, so this threw me off. Totally not a good time to be sick and I’m praying we are all 100% before Reese comes! Oh, and I have coughed so much that I now have a shooting pain in my right side when I cough. I don’t know if I pulled a muscle or what but it hurts!!
What I miss: feeling normal and sleeping.
Cravings: still Kit Kats, which I got twice this week. YUM!
Best moment this week: still no bed rest – yay! (and won’t happen b/c I’m far enough along now that they would not stop labor if it started) I had my 35 week appointment and went from 1 1/2 cm last week to 2 cm this week….no other changes.
What I am looking forward to: finding out if there’s any more progress at my 36 week appointment on Friday!
