Bumpdate: Week 35





35 weeks vs.
4 weeks!! Wow!






How Far along: 35 weeks

Baby's size: A coconut- Approx. 18-20 inches and probably at least 5.5 lbs!  I told my Mom I have never seen a coconut that large! 

Weight loss/gain: Up 20 lbs. 

Sleep:2-3 bathroom trips a night.  I'm still doing pretty well at going back to sleep as long as I am cooled off.  If I am hot and sweaty, I can't sleep until I'm cool.  Thank goodness for ceiling fans!

Gender: B-O-Y

Movement: He is still favoring laying across my belly and keeping his feet in my right side with my ribs.  If he shoves, I shove back!  I think he thinks it's a little game!

Best Moment of this week: Zach laying his head on my belly and BBS kicking him in the face while also hitting Zach's hand across my belly.  We are easily entertained!  The rest of the week also hasn't been all that exciting!!

Looking Forward: My baby shower at church is this Saturday!  I feel like I have dreamed about this day for years when I imagined being pregnant and getting to celebrate with all the family and church family who have supported me and loved me for years.  It feels so surreal that this is actually happening!  I may need someone to pinch me!!

Food cravings:Tri-Fest is coming tomorrow, and I can't wait to have a philly cheese steak and a lemon shake-up!

Anything making you feel sick or queasy: Nope!

Symptoms: Mother of all cankles!  On Sunday I noticed my feet and ankles were slightly swollen and every day this week they have been horrible!!  Also, Sunday I felt terrible.  My vision was slightly blurry, I had a terrible headache, and just felt "out of it." I think that's the first time I've taken tylenol since being pregnant, and it did help eventually!

Dr. Appt: In 3 days, on Monday.  Then I'm going weekly!!  Ahh!

Workouts:  Ha. Ha. Ha. Walking around school all day doing my job.  House work at home. 

What I miss: Not much!  I have to say I worry about how things will change when BBS gets here.  It's just been Zach, Nellie, and I for so long, and I am anxious about how things will be. 

Things that stink: My cankles!

Things that don't stink:  Again, my baby shower!!! : )   And tomorrow is the opening day of turkey season, so I will have one happy husband! 

Labor signs?: Nope!  Hoping not for at LEAST another 4-5 weeks!

Mama's Thoughts: Everyone is asking me if I am so ready for BBS to be here.  To which I reply, "Nope!  I want him to stay in as long as he needs to! I don't want him here a moment before he's supposed to be!"  I think people think ít's weird that I'm not anxious for him to be here, but all I can say is I'm just not.  It's not that I'm not excited to meet him, but I just haven't really even thought about what that will be like.  Maybe I'm not as much of a daydreamer as I thought, but I don't think the reality that he will be here and ours will set in until I am in labor, or he is actually here.  We will see!

Daddy's Thoughts: Zach mentioned last night that he should tentatively put in for his leave for when BBS is born.  It seems to be getting so close!!

Baby:  BBS is hanging out enjoying what I eat and drink, and is kicked back and relaxed! (Or so I think!)  He is happy to be in Mama for the rest of his stay!!

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t
