35 Weeks

I think I am in denial because nothing is ready for this baby. We need to move Owen into his new room which as of now consists of piles of paper on the floor. We are borrowing a furniture set from my parents although it is still at their house. We are borrowing a crib from a friend since we have not transitioned Owen to a bed yet. I don't think he is ready and I don't want to change too much before the baby arrives. We are switching the guest room with the nursery. And yet none of this has happened yet. My list of things to do is incredibly long and does not seem to be shrinking anytime soon.

How far along: 35 Weeks - 38 Days to Go!!!!

Total Weight Gain: 22 pounds so far which is much less than with Owen. This entire pregnancy has been different, both good and bad.

How big is the baby: About 5.5 pounds. Although as expected, I am measuring big so I imagine the little one is at 6 pounds and about 19 inches long.

Movement: The belly is getting cramped so I don't feel the somersaults anymore. Just lots of head movement on my bladder and the occasional foot sticking out under my ribs.

Sleep: What is that?

Best Moment: Owen has been waking up early in the morning lately. I am not ready to get up yet so I pull him into bed to snuggle with me while he watches Baby Einstein on my phone.

Food Cravings: Nothing. I have to eat small meals throughout the day or I feel like it is coming back up.

Belly Button: It is stretching much more this time and still has that strange ridge on top. You can see it through my clothes and I don't like it.

Stretch Marks: No

Maternity Clothes: Dresses, dresses, dresses.

What I miss: Being able to sit down without having a belly propped up on my legs.

Looking forward to: We are finally having our family pictures taken on Sunday. I will not like them with my round face but I want to document the moment with Owen. I am also looking forward to a prenatal massage and pedicure.

Concerns: This baby is so much lower than Owen. I really don't think it can drop any more. And if it does, I am going to be so uncomfortable.
