Baby #2 :: Thirty Five Weeks

35 weeks down, 35 days to go - wahoo!!

Size of baby: Over 18 inches and around 5 1/4 lbs - the size of a coconut according to The Bump and a honeydew melon according to BabyCenter. 

Best moment of the week: Hmm, I think it's a toss up between getting a much needed and deserved pedicure and Bryan's graduation ;) It was great to have an official end to Bryan's grad school chapter. 

Cravings/Aversions: Fruit, fruit and more fruit!

What I love: Being in the single digits of weeks to go! Also on a weekly doctor appointment schedule!

What I'm looking forward to: The upcoming 3 day weekend - the perfect chance to cross a hundred things off of our to-do list.


Worries: So we are finally getting closer to finding an in-home daycare provider and we actually have a small list of names for both genders. Things are looking up :)

What is different this time around: Just about everything!

Symptoms: Still really tired and the baby is just sitting SO low! At the end of the night the movements and kicks feel like he or she is trying to make a break a for it. 

Sleep: Aside from the random heartburn attacks some nights, I've been so tired that I've slept really well.

Boy or Girl: This week I'm thinking/hoping boy because I really would like at least one of each. But, if number 2 is a girl, I have a little more leverage with Bryan for baby number 3 a few years down the road :)

The belly: Getting bigger and bigger! Baby is definitely running out of room. There is lots of rolling movement and I can feel when the baby stretches because I feel simultaneous pushing in my rib area and my pelvic bone area.

Movement: Lots of rolling and "smaller" movements.

Milestones: Baby's kidneys are fully formed and hearing is completely developed. Apparentlyy uterus has grown to 1,000 times its original size...um, eww. 

Weight gain/loss: Currently at plus 17.
