33 - 35 Weeks

Week 33: June 30

Baby's the size of a: Honeydew melon and may grow a full inch this week! 

Weight gain since last appointment: 2 pounds (Total: 23 pounds)

Baby's heart rate: 140s

Sleep: Still can't complain! Just getting up about once a night to pee.

Best moment of this week: Jude's first sleepover, getting a lot done around the house, going for a walk with Adam and the pups at a nearby park… just life in general!

Miss anything: Nope.

Food cravings: Suddenly unhealthy carbs are just something I can't live without. And sweets. Uh oh.

Symptoms: Other than being hot all the time, I feel great! I get a little pelvic pain when I lay on the couch, but sitting up straight usually helps out.

Looking forward to: Soaking these last few weeks in! I had a brief moment of panic over the weekend about how soon she'll be here, and how it won't just be Adam and me anymore. Crazy to think about.

Week 34: July 7

Baby's the size of a: Pineapple and her fingernails have reached the tips of her fingers!

Sleep: A little insomnia here and there, but overall still good!

Best moment of this week: Family fun time for the 4th! And just soaking in these last few weeks of just me and Adam!

Miss anything: A fun cocktail on the 4th of July! I made a few little mocktails, which did the trick.

Food cravings: Still sweets. Specifically this weekend, Debbie sent us a picture of homemade cinnamon rolls she made. I had just finished my (boring) breakfast of yogurt, berries and granola - so obviously Adam and I headed to the donut store.

Symptoms: She's definitely getting heavier, and seems to have found my bladder.

Looking forward to: My final baby shower this weekend! I have a handful of friends coming in from out of town, and I can't wait to see everyone!

Week 35: July 14

Baby's the size of a: Canary melon and she's pretty much at her birth height - now it's just time to pack on the pounds!

Weight gain since last appointment: 4 pounds - oops (Total: 27 pounds)

Baby's heart rate: I forgot to ask, but she said she sounded great! Also said she doesn't think she'll be too big at birth, which is a relief.

Sleep: Starting to understand this whole "pregnancy insomnia" thing. Still not too bad, but I typically wake up for 30min - 1.5hrs every night.

Best moment of this week: My best friends threw me the most beautiful baby shower, and a few of them flew in for it! It was so great to spend time with everyone. Plus, baby girl kicked for Natalie and Anna.

Miss anything: A cocktail. Please and thank you.

Food cravings: Still on that whole sweets kick, but nothing too crazy.

Symptoms: Constantly peeing, hard to get comfortable while sitting (guess I'll just lay down all the time!), HOT… All par for the course. :)

Looking forward to: Our Babymoon to Lake Hartwell this weekend!
