35 Weeks

How far along: 35 weeks, 4 days
Size comparison:  Baby Hawk is about the size of a honeydew melon, a little over 18 inches long and approximately 5.25 pounds.

Baby nickname:  Baby, Baby Hawk, Chupaloop 
Baby bump:  Feeling like we might be starting to drop a little?!

Gender Prediction:  No comment.

Weight gain: 29 pounds.  

Maternity clothes:  I'm all about maxi dresses.

Stretch marks: None.  Knock on wood.

Belly button in or out:  In.

Wedding rings on or off:  Off.  And really hoping I will be able to wear them after the baby is born... I miss them!  Otherwise I will be getting my bumpers taken off ASAP.

Sleep:  Same as usual.  I'm real tired this week.

Best moment this week:  We got our maternity pics back.  We love love love them!  Now to figure out which ones we want for the nursery and the stairway.  Grandma and Pappy also came to KC for Easter weekend and helped clean our house.  Like, scrub the oven racks kinda clean. So awesome and a huge help!

Worst moment this week:  Carpal tunnel, fingers that feel arthritic.  Am I preparing for birthing a baby or my 80th birthday?

Miss anything:  My sanity, feeling like I have my $h!+ together.

Movement:  Feeling some really low movements and some pressure, lots of kicks to the ribs.  Baby Hawk really likes Mom's right ribs.

Cravings:  Salads.  And chocolate. Still.  

Queasy or sick:  Heartburn is back and worse than ever.  It.is.awful.

Labor signs:  Nope!

Happy or moody:  Happy!

Looking forward to:  Packing my hospital bag, installing car seats and purchasing a bookshelf for the nursery!
