35 weeks

So this is the big 35/35 day, which totally doesn't apply to me anymore.  It means 35 weeks pregnant, with 35 days left to go. I only have about 21 days to go if I'm being induced at 38 weeks.  So anyway...

With Riley, I had maternity photos taken at 35 weeks, so my goal is to get some taken this weekend... although I'm doing it myself, so it could get a little tricky, but we'll see.  Therefore, no weekly photo quite yet!
How I'm feeling: TIRED.  I didn't remember feeling this tired with Riley, so I looked back at my little pregnancy journal I kept, and apparently I WAS feeling quite tired, but I was able to sleep in as late as I wanted on days I wasn't working, so that clearly helped quite a bit.  This time around?  Not so much.  Also at this point last time my carpal tunnel was going in full force, and it hasn't really been an issue yet.  Hooray!  Now heartburn... right at 34 weeks, heart burn was awful.  I had 3 or 4 days of just horrible night time heart burn.  I had to watch what I was eating, how much I was eating, and stop eating well before bed time in order to not be kept awake for hours and be forced to basically sleep sitting up.  And then?  It was gone.  Completely.  I was pretty sure that was a result of the baby dropping, as there had been a few other signs that he had dropped, but I wasn't sure.  Then at my midwife appointment yesterday, my midwife told me he was definitely very low (and head down still, yay!). Looking back at my notes from last time around, apparently something similar happened to me with Riley (got heartburn, then it went away around 36 weeks when she dropped).  Sooo we are definitely making progress towards labor!

Weight gain this week: 1 pound
Total weight gain: 27 pounds.  At this point with Riley I had only gained 21.5 pounds.  Eesh.  I'd really like to stay under 30 pounds gained, but at this point, whatever happens happens.

Best part of the week:  Completion of our new granite kitchen counters (pictures coming soon).  It was supposed to take 2 days and ended up taking twice as long, which meant we were without a kitchen for FOUR days. 
Worst part of the week:  Trying to feed a picky eater toddler without being able to cook in the kitchen for 4 days.

Cravings: Popsicles, smoothies, various fruit
Aversions: none

What baby is up to: weighing in at around 5.5 pounds and measuring around 18 inches long.  That's pretty much the important stuff!

I have mostly packed my hospital bag, so at least that's one thing checked off the massive to-do list!  Hoping to get a lot more accomplished this weekend!
