35 Weeks!!!





How far along: 35 weeks!


Baby Size: 


Weight:  Shockingly, I lost a pound this week. Take that weight gain!



Symptoms:   

  • My feet decided to start swelling up this week.  Rocking the cankels.
  • Restless legs/arms
  • Lot's of bathroom trips (on a might be an overshare note, I have been having to poop a lot lately; like twice a day)
  • Crazy dreams
  • I am ALWAYS out of breath. It took me like 20 minutes to make the bed the other day. 

Maternity Clothes:  I have a few non-maternity skirts I can wear still.  I have only a few tops that don't let my belly hang out.

Sleep:  Up every hour to 2 hours all night long.

Cravings/Food Aversions:  I kind of have a thing for cold oreo's (not frozen, but from the fridge)

Belly Button: Flat to out.


Rings on or off:  Just wearing the wedding band. 

Gender:  Girl

Name:  Eleanor Rose


Movement: Yep, and it's starting to hurt sometimes.  I have no idea how she is positioned because I feel movement all over. 


Stretch Marks:  Yep, lots of them.  I thought I was good because of genetics, but nope. Rob even notices a change in the color of them.  He says they look shiny.  I can't see them unless I'm looking in a mirror so I'll take his word on it. 

Best moment: My best friend was in town over the weekend.  We had our 10 year class reunion and then my church baby shower was on Sunday. 

Looking forward to:  Meeting her!  


Nervous about: 
  • Somehow needing a c-section.  
  • Recovery time, Rob won't get time off of work, I think he will probably be there with me in the hospital, but that's it.  I'll be on my own. 
  • Finances


What I miss:  Walking without being out of breath and in pain, bending over, being comfortable, the occasional glass of wine


Labor signs: Lots of Braxton-Hicks.  

Appointments:  This Friday I have the GB test.


Misc. We took a Infant first aid/cpr class last night.  I think it was really good for Rob.  I knew a lot of the first aid/basic safety stuff, but the cpr stuff was great for me.  I haven't been certified (and this was not a certification class) in probably 6 years, so having that refresher really helped me. 

Bonus Picture!

Random Thoughts on Brands

Totally a random post tonight about buying generic vs. brand name. This post is in no way sponsored.  I'm just random like that sometimes.

The reason it's on my mind is because I was in the mood for these. 


Problem is I'm cheap and they weren't on sale so I bought these.

I love Meijer's and do most of my grocery shopping there. In fact, I worked there when I was in college for a while. But they just weren't as good. 

So then I got to thinking about other things where the 'name brand' really is better and worth the little extra cost.

My list so far it short. 

Every other crayon seems waxy and doesn't work as well.
Crayola crayon's really are better.

And on the craft/play topic is my other one.

Working with kids I've experienced enough of the cheap version to know that play-doh really is better.  And I might be 27 but I still love opening a brand new can when it's all smooth and nice. 


My mom prefers JIF peanut butter over all other brands.

Do you have any brand preferences?
