How Far Along: 35 Weeks!
Total Weight Gain: 23.5 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: Yep-I literally wear my capri yoga pants every day. Don't tell anyone that they maybe get washed once a week!
Best Moment this week: My Mom came to visit and help me out while Dan was gone on his Boundary Waters Trip. I was SO thankful that she was here especially since I had two different episodes of light contractions and needed to just lay down and rest. We had so much fun going on walks and playing in the backyard with all of Svea's water toys.

Gender: Boy!
Movement: The little guy's movements are getting less punchy. You can tell he's running out of room as I'm feeling more of the rolls instead of jabs.
Food Craving: Fruits/Veggies, turkey burgers, turkey bacon, chicken salads, water.....it must be a hot summer thing....or maybe a pregnant in the summer thing!
What I miss: Being able to roll over in bed without feeling like a beached whale. I am trying so hard to not wake up Dan, but let's be honest......I'm like a 6.5 earthquake in the middle of the night.

Sleep: I have been experiencing a little bit of insomnia. It's either hormones or when I do wake up my mind starts to race with anxiety about being ready for this baby. I keep waking up early and not being able to get back to bed.
What we are looking forward to: Meeting our little boy! Having the ultrasound last week and getting to see his face made me super excited to get to bring him home. I am very nervous about how we are going to balance two children, but I know we will fall in love with him the second we meet him and hopefully we'll get used to the extra work load and less sleep quickly.
Symptoms: I've started having some contractions! This is something I never experienced with Svea until after they gave me pitocin on the day she was born.. They are uncomfortable and are low in my stomach. I've had to drink a ton of water and lay down on my left side. Within two hours they usually subside, but it's happened twice now. The second time they were actually hurting for a few minutes and then subsiding. Kind of scary! I'm just going to take it easy more and mention it to my dr. at my appt. next Tuesday.
