35 Weeks


How Far Along: 35 weeks

Total Weight Gain: up 19 pounds

Cravings: crushed ice.  I am constantly crunching away at it.  I may be remembering this incorrectly, but I feel like at this point when I was pregnant with Breanna I didn’t have much of an appetite at all.  I felt like I didn’t have room for it.  This time I feel like I could eat everything in sight!

Symptoms:  My heartburn is out of control!  Water gives it to me, and laying down at night really sets it off also.  This doesn’t help with my sleep issues.  I’m still getting super cranky and my patience is at an all time low.  I don’t know if it’s because of hormones, lack of sleep, or a combination of both but I have to bite my tongue a lot!  I’m trying to choose joy and just be thankful for every aspect of this pregnancy!

Sleep:  Feeling pretty redundant in this category… I am not sleeping well at all.  My hips are sore and now I’m up every few hours to pee.  So looking forward to sleeping on my belly again!

Movement:  Kaitlyn is still very active.  I’m beginning to notice patterns in when she is moving also.  She will often try to stretch out her whole body and push my belly out from all sides, which hurts!!  She is running out of room!  Haha.  She gets the hiccups multiple times a day usually.  I’m trying to take it all in now and enjoy it.  Who knows when/if I will get to experience it again.

What I’m Looking Forward To:  In general I’m just excited to meet her!  I feel like it is getting really close, and I’m looking forward to getting to know her personality. 
 
Anything Else: I have my first internal exam in a little under a week.  The first thing the doctor said to me when she checked me with Breanna was “Wow, she is really low!”  Then I delivered at the end of my 38th week.  I am hoping to hear something similar this time!  I would love to go early with Kaitlyn, and have her birthday as far away from Christmas as possible.
