35 Weeks

How far along? 35 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: At my 34 week appointment at the beginning of this week I had gained between 2 and 3 pounds from pre-pregnancy. I'm not sure how much was water weight since my feet were still a little swollen from my long work week but even then, by this point I had gained 7 with Elli so I'm feeling pretty happy with that. I was hoping that since I hadn't gained I'd get a growth check ultrasound next week like I did with Elli, but unfortunately no such luck.
Maternity clothes? I'm calling this a lost cause. There is no way I'm buying anymore at this point so if the few pairs of pants I have stop fitting then it's leggings from here on out.
Stretch marks? Nah, not new ones.
Sleep: I'm starting to wake up a little more but still not too bad overall.
Best moment this week: Finding a cute dress for maternity pictures
Miss anything? I'm starting to get really bad heartburn like I did with Elli again. I hate having that. My feet not getting swollen if I stand too long.
Movement: Like crazy. Little M is strong. Stronger than I remember Elli being. She has even kicked hard enough a few times to make my stomach move in little waves which has been super fun for me.
Food cravings: Nothing really at this point.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, overall I feel pretty good, just tired and sore
Have you started to show yet:Yes, but people still don't think I look big enough for how far along I am. I think I disagree, but really I don't feel like I am huge either.
Gender: Hopefully still girl...It's going to be really strange if she comes out otherwise.
Labor signs: Nothing yet for sure. I have decided to avoid cervix checks this pregnancy until I'm much further along, so even though normally I would have been checked for progress at my appointment next week I won't be for a little longer yet. The doctor did say that as far as he could tell she was head down at my appointment this week, so that is happy.
Bell button in or out? IN
Wedding rings on or off? Off. I was planning on getting a cheap one to wear, but completely forgot so I guess I will just not wear one for a few more months until mine fits again.
Happy or moody most of the time: Overall I think I'm happy. Just tired quickly and starting to get a little more sore which makes me a little grumpy.
Looking forward to: We are taking my maternity pictures this coming weekend and I'm actually really excited. I got a cute dress, we got some newborn shoes, and the letters I ordered for her nursery are supposed to be here (so guess what!!! You finally all get an official name reveal then too).

35 Weeks:

Your Baby is as Big as a Coconut

• Now, his hearing is fully developed, and he responds best to high-pitched noises.
• If it's a boy, his testes have probably fully descended.

He's about 17.2 to 18.7 inches. From here on out, he won't get much longer, but he's plumping up. He's now about 4.2 to 5.8 pounds, and he'll put on a pound or more of baby fat before birth.
