Bumpdate: 35 Weeks


How far along:35 weeks ladies and gents.  On Friday when I am 36 weeks they will send my chart over to the hospital!  Crazy!

How big is baby: Fruit and veggie scale says coconut.

Weight gain: I only gained a pound since my doctor's appointment last week, which made me feel pretty good, considering Thanksgiving, etc.  I have been having such bad heartburn and indigestion it has been curbing my desire to eat.  I also just have to eat smaller amounts-- there is not much room in there for food.
 Sleeping:  Still hit or miss.  I have been back to waking up in the night and not being able to fall back asleep.  My new thing is I am wide awake at night but then oversleeping in the am.  I am just accepting that a good night's rest is not in the cards anytime soon.

Food Cravings: Hot chocolate.

Food Aversions: Anything from the deep fryer still.
Other symptoms: Moodiness, tearfulness, crying.I have been feeling a tad on the blue side and I am already a bit concerned that I will be at risk for Post-Partum Depression.  I talked to my ob-gyn a little yesterday at my appointment about it.   Mostly I am just tired all the time, with occasional bursts of energy.  I was on the fence about even getting the Christmas decorations out and if we should even bother with a tree.  Even cooking dinner feels overwhelming some days. 
Miss Anything?Just being able to move around.  Getting up and down is such a production.

Doctor’s appointment:Every week now, which makes me laugh every time they ask if anything has changed with my insurance.  I had the group B strep test this past time, which I was panicked about but was really no big deal.  I am still on the lookout for my pertussis booster.  My ob/gyn recommends it but my doctor won't give it to me and neither will two CVS clinics I visited yesterday. The one pharmacist was like "Well, are you pregnant?"  I just wanted to shout "LOOK AT ME!"   I also saw the chiropractor a second time which has been helping with my lower back pain a lot.  I can see her again for "maintenance" if I feel like I need it. 
Wedding Rings: Off.  I am scared to put them on now.  
Clothes:Completely over maternity clothes.  And our (still broken) dryer. 
Movement: Lots and lots and lots. Some of them are really starting to be painful.

Best moment of the week: a nice, lowkey Thanksgiving with Ryan's parents and my parents. 
What I’m looking forward to:As weird as it sounds, our breastfeeding class tonight.  I am hoping it will make me feel more at ease about the whole thing. 
What I did / Got for baby:  I got a cute pink rug at Target for her room.  We also FINALLY were able to order the crib conversion kit that fixes the reason it was recalled, so hopefully her crib is squared away now.  My baby shower is this weekend, so hopefully the last few things on the list will be taken care of there.  

Have a great week!!!
