Baby Bump: 35 Weeks

So, for obvious reasons, I definitely forgot to post last week with my 34-week baby bump update. I had the week off of work (which meant away from a computer) and then it was CHRISTMAS so naturally, I was off in my happy place spending time with family! Here's my 34-week and 35-week photos:

How Far Along?:  35 weeks, 5 days. How on earth did I get here?
Size of Baby:  Over 5 pounds now! Size of a bunch of carrots, according to one of my apps, LOL.
Gender:  Baby is a BOY!!!!!
Weight Gain:  Now up 29 pounds as of yesterday. Gawd.
Maternity Clothes:  All day, every day.
Stretch Marks:  A few on my hips, noooooo!
Movement:  Little guy is now more of a stretcher-outer than a mover. I can definitely tell he is running out of room. It's so funny to watch his feet stretch one side of my belly, and his booty (or head?) stretch out the other!
Symptoms:  Shortness of breath, for sure. Breathing is getting harder, as well as rolling over in bed, which takes so. much. effort.
Sleep:  Frequent wake-ups and trips to the potty!
Cravings:  Carbs. What's new?
Nursery:  Finished! Just waiting for our baby boy.
Belly Button in or out?:  More out/flush with my belly. Joy.
Wedding rings on or off?:  On!
Mood:  I'm feeling blissful as of late. I'm sad to see my pregnancy coming to an end, terrified of the upcoming labor and delivery, and so excited to finally meet this bouncing boy in my belly.
What I Miss:  Wine. I just want a glass of wine.
Best Moment This Week:  Dancing in the family room last night with Matt to some Harry Connick Jr. It's moments like that I'm sure I'll miss. I keep reminiscing on the fact that these are our last few weeks of life as a family of two + Bells and it's so bittersweet.
Looking Forward To:  A long, three-day weekend and a wonderful start to 2016. Happy New Year, everyone!

Baby Bump: 33 Weeks

How Far Along?:  33 weeks, 6 days, holy crap.
Size of Baby:  Over 4 pounds now, and I'm feelin' it!
Gender:  Baby is a BOY!!!!!
Weight Gain:  Still up 26 pounds so far.
Maternity Clothes:  All day, every day.
Stretch Marks:  There are a couple faint little guys on my hips. Joy.
Movement:  ALL the time, especially when I sit back in my work chair, or at night... ya know, when I'm trying to get some shut eye. Regardless, it's the most beautiful thing in the world to feel.
Symptoms:  Still restlessness on top of the inability to breathe and overall discomfort. :) Who is complaining? Not me.
Sleep:  Frequent wake-ups accompanied by bathroom trips.
Cravings:  This week, noodles. Any kind of noodles. I don't discriminate.
Nursery:  Basically finished! Just waiting for baby boy.
Belly Button in or out?:  More out than in, these days.
Wedding rings on or off?:  On!
Mood:  So happy that this beautiful babe inside me is doing so well. However, I just find myself SO MOODY lately, and I've had lots of crying episodes. But eh, I think that's normal, right?
What I Miss:  Rolling over in bed... normally... without losing my breath.
Best Moment This Week:  Hearing little guy's heartbeat at my doctor appointment yesterday. That sound is so reassuring. <3
Looking Forward To:  This weekend! Our baby class was rescheduled for Saturday, PLUS I have all next week off of work for Christmas. Just what I need.

Baby Bump: 32 Weeks

How Far Along?:  32 weeks, 6 days! Cue FREAK OUT.
Size of Baby:  Almost 4 pounds, size of a head of lettuce!
Gender:  Baby is a BOY!!!!!
Weight Gain:  Up 26 pounds. We'll see how much more I've gained next week at my next doctor appointment!
Maternity Clothes:  All day, every day.
Stretch Marks:  Nope!
Movement:  Little guy is still a movin' and I'm very thankful he is.
Symptoms:  Recently, it has been restlessness. I wake up frequently during the night and can't get my mind to stop racing!
Sleep:  Frequent wake-ups accompanied by bathroom trips.
Cravings:  None really this week!
Nursery:  Basically finished! Just waiting for a baby. <3
Belly Button in or out?:  Half in, half out!
Wedding rings on or off?:  On!
Mood:  Still so very content and happy. I'm feeling very sentimental lately about all that is to come.
What I Miss:  I could go for a frozen margarita or six...
Best Moment This Week:  I had such a bad Monday. I was stuck in traffic on my way home from work and it took me about an hour to get home. I was so stressed (and hormone-ridden) that I sobbed for the last 15 minutes of it. I finally walked in the door and Matt helped me take my stuff, take off my shoes, and just hugged me. It's amazing how he instantly makes me feel better without making me feel like a crazy person!
Looking Forward To:  This weekend! Baby class all day on Saturday, and maternity photos on Sunday! EEK!

Baby Bump: 31 Weeks

How Far Along?:  31 weeks, 6 days! WHAT.
Size of Baby:  About 17 inches, over 3 pounds! And growing so much more every week.
Gender:  Baby is a BOY!!!!!
Weight Gain:  Up a whopping 26 pounds now. Thanksgiving may or may not have thrown me over the edge (I gained 4 pounds in a week).
Maternity Clothes:  DUH.
Stretch Marks:  None yet, but my belly is getting itchier with the cold weather, so I'm keeping that belly butter handy.
Movement:  I thought he was a mover before... SHEESH. My, oh my, this boy can now keep me up at night with his moving! I'm so happy, though. I just want him to stay healthy, and I know he's running out of room, so if that means jabbing your foot in mommy's rib, well.... okay then.
Symptoms:  Still feeling the joys of what seems like hip dislocation,
Sleep:  Nightly wakings are becoming more and more frequent. This must be my body preparing me for upcoming sleepless nights...
Cravings:  This week, it's SUGAR. Probably because I've been drinking more pop than I ever have before. Bad, mommy.
Nursery:  Basically finished! Just waiting for a baby. <3
Belly Button in or out?:  Half in, half out!
Wedding rings on or off?:  On!
Mood:  So content and so happy. I pray this babe stays healthy and in my belly until January!
What I Miss:  Rolling over in bed with ease. :)
Best Moment This Week:  Learning that my high blood pressure last week was just a random fluke. My bloodwork all came back normal so luckily, everything is still going smoothly.
Looking Forward To:  Next weekend! We have an all-day baby class on Saturday, and then maternity pictures on Sunday.
