Pregnancy: 34 Weeks, 85% cooked!!!... 35 weeks, 87% cooked
Weight Gain: I have gained 35 pounds total now.
Measurements: This is my last week without a doctor's appointment. After this week, we go back every week.
Sleep: Yea no. My hips & legs fall asleep. So I have to wake up and roll over. And my heartburn wakes me up in the middle of the night. Last night I slept with the bottle of TUMS in my bed. That's right, it was in between Matt & I in bed.
Cravings: I really still want fried food. And sweets. But they make the heartburn so much worse.
Feeling: These are not my legs. They are swollen. From the knees down they are not familiar at all.
Movement: All the time. This answer hasn't changed at all. She moves constantly. And she is all over my belly. There are times when she kicks high, and times when she kicks low. She is very active during 3rd period, and again from dinner to bedtime.
What's going on inside the belly:
Week 34: She weighs about 4.75 pounds (like a cantaloupe) is about 18 inches long. She is getting plump. That is all she is responsible for in these last few weeks.
Week 35: She weighs about 5.25 pounds (like a honeydew melon) is more than 18 inches long.
What's going on outside the belly: I have worked my last event at school. At this point my only job is to teach my classes and finish my sub plans (they are on the way to being done).
