How far along? 35w and 35 days to go....if I make it to 40 weeks!
Weight gain/loss: ughhh this week brought on another 1.5 lbs. Up 36 lbs.
Maternity clothes? I put on another maternity top on Saturday that barely covered my belly! Crazy!
Stretch marks? Nope! I haven't even seen much of a linea negra this time around. I definitely noticed one with Jordan though.
Sleep? Still doing well in the sleep department. I have a night or two here and there that doesn't go well, but like last night, I felt like I tossed and turned a ton, but every time I woke up, I was wiping drool from my face (there's a lovely picture for you!), so I must not be having too much trouble sleeping even when I think I am.
Best moment this week? Finding curtains for Brynnlee's room and rearranging the furniture just a tad. Now I'm super anxious to get the curtains hung. Her mattress should arrive tomorrow, so I'm also excited to get a sheet on it and put it in the crib. A good friend of mine also bought us a new changing pad for her room and I have already ordered the cover from Etsy. Eeeeeeee! I just want to see everything put together. Still need to make a decision on a name decal and order that.
Food cravings? Nothing really

Gender: Still a girl
Belly button in or out? Outie
Movement? She's still bustin' a move fairly frequently in there. Dr. B did another ultrasound today and unfortunately, but fortunately, our precious girl is in perfect position with her face pointing towards my back, so her face is completely hidden.
What I'm looking forward to: My last day of work and our home visit with the midwives. Yup, I said midwives. I got the very shocking news today that Dr. B is not doing homebirths now. Long story, short, it's just not a good idea for him to be doing anything risky while he's trying to open his birth center. He says he can still be there to support us and be involved, but I'm not going to keep my hopes up. So, looks like Brynnlee's birth will follow suit of Jordan's and we will be using the same midwives. We're now into crunch time in ordering a birth kit and getting everything organized, but at least we all know the ropes and have worked as a successful team before.
Milestones: 35/35 is quite a milestone in itself, but our bebe is almost fully developed now and is putting a lot of her energy toward gaining weight!

I passed on taking my traditional picture this week and have some fun silhouette pics that I attempted to take from Saturday.....
(Don't mind the horrible view out the window! I didn't even realize how tacky it looked till I was finished.)
Are you kidding me about Dr. B?!?! OMG, I am so sorry! ;(
ReplyDeleteSo cool that you're planning a homebirth! I can't get Kris on board with the idea but I'm going to try and convince him when the time comes for #3 :) You'll have to spill all the details on the birth when the time comes!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I bought that bean bag cover from BBB that you recommended :) I think it will do the trick.
These pictures are so beautiful! I'm surprised there's not a giant RV in the background. Ha ha! I can't believe how soon Brynlee will be here. Please let me know if there's anything you need as you get closer. Hooray for last days of work!
