How Far Along: 35 weeks. Five more weeks WOOO!
Total Weight Gain: I gained 2 pounds last week - 35 total now. Hopefully some of this weight gain will start making its way to my small child!
Maternity Clothes: Still no shopping. Still sick of my maternity clothes. My black work pants are so tight that I would prefer to wear them about 10 times before washing them so they can get nice and stretched out. However, that's disgusting. Also if I eat lunch anywhere remotely smelly (see: Skyline chili) it's a requirement that I wash them immediately. This is cause for rotating more dresses with leggings into my weekly work wardrobe. I will be so happy when I am at home for 3 months and can wear yoga pants all day every day and only put real pants on when I leave my house. I will also be happy when I can catch some after Christmas sales on regular people clothes. #shopping
Sleep: I find it ironic and extremely annoying that on Saturday and Sunday when I could sleep all day if I wanted to, I wake up at 6:45. On Monday - Friday when I need to be out of bed at 6:30, I can't drag my lazy ass out of bed until 7:15. Also - Jake likes to snore on Sunday night through Thursday night, but come Friday and Saturday - he is quiet as a church mouse. COME ON MAN.
Sam's Things: I have been in major major nesting mode the last week and had no time to take any pictures of anything. I have been so focused on getting our house completely put together in time for baby. I want to enjoy the clean and organized while it lasts because I know when she gets here, picking up my house is going to be a low priority.
Best Moment this Week: Non-pregnancy related best moment this week was finishing our basement on Sunday night. It is finally a functional room that I am not embarrassed to have people to hang out in. Our house is now being used to its fullest extent and I feel like it's worth paying a mortgage for my whole house instead of just the first floor and our master bedroom.
Movement: Little Miss is moving around a lot in here. She doesn't really have a schedule anymore. Sometimes it's at night, sometimes it's in the morning, but she normally moves around for a little bit every time I eat. Over the weekend Jake and I watched my belly do all kinds of waving movements for about 10 minutes straight. It was so weird. I'm glad she is active, but seeing my belly move is creepy.
Food Cravings: Ice cream. Reese cup trees. Half-baked cookies. Boom.
Symptoms: Inability to pull my boots or shoes on and off without grunting. Inability to sleep through the night. Inability to walk without waddling or whining. Inability to breathe after consuming food.
What I Miss: I'm having trouble thinking of anything new this week that I miss more than usual. I'm going to go ahead and assume that the next few weeks with all of the holiday *cheer* I'm going to be back to missing booze again. I would love nothing more than a glass of wine at the end of most days. Sigh...
What I am Looking Forward to: Reunion party and ornament exchange with my bestests this weekend! I can't wait to spend a full 48 hours with my college favorites. And most of us are fully expecting to gain 10 pounds during this 48 hour period. We love to eat, and I'm pregnant so that doesn't help mine or anyone else's cause :)
Exercise: As much as I miss running and a really good ass beating at the gym, I'm feeling extremely lazy and in no mood to exercise recently. I'm still going with the "my baby is small and I don't want to burn any calories that could be going to her" excuse. I think I'll probably stick with that for the next few weeks until I deliver.
Noteworthy Items:
-Still wearing heels. And people are still surprised. I might actually make it to the delivery room in these things...especially if I have a scheduled C-section.
-Good news: Sam has been growing! She weighed about 4lbs 11oz on Friday. She is pretty small still, but the growth and progress is what's good. I am going to be going back for these Bio Physical Profiles twice a week until I deliver. She is still breech (still folded in half I might add). My doctor is out recovering from surgery of his own until the 17th. When I go back that week to see him, he said if she is still breech we will go ahead and schedule a C-section at that point. My initial reaction to the scheduled C-section was disappointment, but the more I think about it and the more I have time to accept it, the more I don't really care how she gets here, I just care if she's healthy. There's a part of me that will definitely be sad if I don't get to experience the whole going into labor experience, but I'm sure it would turn out nothing like I have always imagined it would be anyway, so I guess I just don't really care. Just make sure my baby is okay and I'm alive and healthy enough to meet her when she gets here, okay!?!?
-At this point in my pregnancy, with how crazy things have been at work, I'm really starting to wish I lived in Canada where they get a full year of maternity leave. I'd definitely be taking advantage of that before she gets here. I am more than done with getting up zombie-eyed every morning to go deal with the stresses of my job every day and would love nothing more than to spend these last few weeks relaxing and doing things around my house. But unfortunately that's not an option for me, so I'll bite the bullet for a few more weeks and suffer through some long work hours. Knowing I'm going to have a little monkey to snuggle sometime in the next 33 days is definitely getting me through it. I just can't wait to meet her!!
