Okay so I know, I've been sucking on the updates. I wish I had some kind of good excuse, but I don't. I've been lazy and as much time has gone by I really don't feel like anything's changed. It is coming down to the final stretch though so I will try my very hardest to get with the program here. At least I have been taking weekly pictures still!

So this post will contain all of the updates from week 30-35 all in one!

How far along are you: 35 freakin' weeks!
Size of baby: a coconut!
Movement: a lot of movement! He's always flailing his tiny arms and pushing his little feet into my ribs and when he's not doing that you can bet the has the hiccups. I'm pretty sure he doesn't sleep.
Symptoms: In the last 5 weeks I've had my share of symptoms. Still, I consider myself lucky. I know some girls have it much more rough. They have been:
-heart burn
-deadly calf cramps that wake me up in so much pain I start sweating
-sciatic nerve pain
-soreness with baby movements (he's getting too big in there)
-shortness of breath (even just standing feels like I'm winded marathon-running style)
-painless but enough to stop me in my tracks Braxton Hicks contractions
-and my new favourite...insomnia! I'll go to sleep no problem and wake up in the middle of the night wide awake. Not fun when you have to work.
Total weight gain: 26 lbs
Sleep: Sleep is good when I get it. Rolling over wakes me up and it hurts if I stay on one side too long.
Food aversions: Nothing.
Cravings: I've had a serious sweet tooth. And for those who know me well, this is weird for me. I highly dislike sweets. I do hope this stops after I have this little dude.
Emotions: I am sooooo ready for him to be here. Sometimes my heart hurts at how badly I just want to have him here with us. Other than that I am anxious about the birth and I'm a bit high strung lately.
What do you miss: Not much these days. I'm loving my decaf pumpkin spice frapps and my full caf ice capp. Just missing sushi and deli meat and I'd be one happy freakin' camper!!
Maternity clothes: Yes. But I'm still pulling off the odd non maternity shirt.
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Boy or girl: Boy.
Next appt: Oct 16.
Best moment(s) this past week: since this is an update of 5 weeks, I'll say the best moments in 5 weeks.
-finishing his gorgeous nursery
-attending my two amazing showers! We got spoiled and we're so lucky!
-getting our awesome stroller and car seat delivered! Can't wait to use it!
-seeing our little man on a 3D ultrasound on Dave's birthday. He's got my cheeks as Dave's eyes by the looks of it! We will have to see though!!
What are you looking forward to this week: Well this weekend is thanksgiving. We have a wedding to go to so our family get togethers will be limited. But it's a long weekend which I love. I'm excited for that!
