35 weeks (Nora)

Can your tell which belly is Emmy? Nora?
I didn't feel like I had grown much since the 33 week picture, boy- I was wrong.

Her size: According to Babycenter, Nora should be 18.2" and weigh 5lbs 4oz.  We have another growth scan this week so will have a better idea after Wednesday.

How far along: 35 weeks with 35 days until the due date.

Total weight gain: +32.5lbs, about the same as last week.  I'm not sure how, I feel like I am eating all the time.

Sleep:  I have occasional trips to the bathroom, I try to limit my liquids in the evenings so I can sleep soundly!

Maternity Clothes: Um....yes.

Food cravings: The past day or two it's been chocolate milk.  It tastes good, doesn't add to the reflux and is cold.

Food aversions: Water....this is a bad one to NOT be wanting.

Symptoms: Nothing abornmal.

Stretchmarks: None that I can see.

Doctor’s Appointment: Will have growth scan on Wednesday and a checkup a week after that.  I had an appt this past week and all looked good, Nora was head down at the appointment.

Movement: I think she is still switching quite often from head down to.....i don't know what.  I just feel bumps all over the place and it feels like her feet are poking out of my back.

Belly Button: Poking out a little.

Best moment of the week: Surprise shower at work on Friday.  We are getting stocked up on diapers and wipes for sure.  And I was released back into the wild by my dr.  Her only advice, "no working out".  Hah.  ok, I think after 7 weeks of partial bed rest there's no way I could work out if I wanted to!

What I’m looking forward to: Not being fat.

What I miss: Not being fat.

Preparations:  Carseat is in the car and I have been doing laundry ALL day.  I can't believe how many little girl clothes we have....I have had a blast looking through them all and can't wait for Nora to wear them.

PS: Pic #1 is Emmy. #2 is Nora.
