How Far Along: 35 weeks
Size of Baby: Honeydew melon
Maternity Clothes: Same - dont wear too many maternity clothes. Although some of my shirts that fit a couple weeks ago aren't fitting as well now. :) Wear a lot of leggings with longer shirts. Have 1 pair of maternity jeans and a couple actual maternity shirts.
Weight Gain: Prob about 20 lbs, go to the dr Thursday and will update.
Stretch Marks: No new ones - still putting lotion on like crazy!! Coco Butter all the time!!
Belly Button: Sticks out...Hate this! I tried to put a bandaid over it this weekend for my shower but you could see the bandaid and my belly button then.
Sleep: What sleep?? I am SO tired but when I lay down at night I can't sleep. And i have been getting heartburn at night so that doesn't help everything else. :) I guess its just my bodies way of preparing me for little sleep once the baby arrives.
Best Moment of the Week: My baby shower!
Movement: He moves all the time!! I love it! Some movements can be a little painful - either he is pushing on my ribs or my bladder...
Symptoms: Tired, still have my cough and my back has been hurting
Food Cravings/Aversions: Fruit & ice cream
Gender: Baby Boy!!
What I Miss: Sleep - guess I better get use to this.
What I'm Looking Forward to: Seeing my other son. He has been gone since Father's Day with his dad on vacation.
I am going to the doctor Thursday I will be 35 wks 5 days. Then around 38 weeks I will go back and they will do another ultrasound to see how big baby is measuring. He is measuring big but I think he just has a big head.... My dad's side of the family has big heads... I can't believe it - my app on my phone says I have 34 more day until my due date!! WOW!
I think after we get everything delivered this week/beginning of next week we will be ready to meet our little man - only thing left is decide on a name... :)

Baby Shower
Over the weekend my mom, step-mom, mother-in-law, sister, & best friend hosted a baby shower for me - it was amazing! They did such a good job, everything was great - decorations, food, company, gifts for the little guy! I am so thankful to have such wonderful people who took the time not only to plan it but those that took the time to attend as well. This baby is very loved already and he isn't even here yet! :) I had so much stuff after the shower when I got home i was a little overwhelmed and had no clue where to put anything. So, I started cleaning - my poor house has been neglected lately. I have been very tired lately and not had the energy to get much done. My husband has been working more at the pizza place and my son has been on vacation with his dad so the house has not gotten much attention. You would think with those 2 being gone and me in and out of the house (I dont know what I have been up to but I haven't been home) it would make the house easier to keep clean but it seems like when you are running in and out is when it is the worst! This week my son starts All Star baseball - he has a practice game tonight, then games Tues, Wed, Thurs & Sat of this week. I plan to take him to the Daviess County fair on Friday so this week we won't be home either. Maybe I can get some cleaning done tonight and tomorrow before the games start - tonight doesn't start until 730 and tomorrow is 8 at Jasper!!
Back to the shower, I wish I had some pictures but unfortunately I didn't take my camera so I am going to have to wait and see if I can get some from the others that were there that took pictures. There were plenty taken - I couldn't see by the time they were done from all the flashes! Haha. The baby got so many nice gifts - I can't wait until he gets here so he can actually use them!! I pretty much ordered everything I didn't get and still needed with the money/gift cards I received at the shower. Once all of this comes in - we should be completely ready.
I also ordered the furniture for the baby room today. I had ordered it a while back and when I got it the crib didn't match the finish of the changing table and dresser (which didn't end up matching each other either - I will get to that in a minute.) When I got the stuff home I put the changing table together and then got the crib out to start putting together but noticed right away it didn't match my changing table very well. When I bought it, it wasn't a set but i read reviews and people said they had bought these 3 pieces together and the crib matched perfectly. WRONG! They were both espresso finish but the crib had a cherry tint to it and the changing table didn't. So, I took the crib back and was searching to find a crib that matched. In the meantime, I got the dresser out and was putting it together. The directions had me putting the drawers together first - I got to the knobs and realized they didn't match the changing table ones and they were suppose to. So I got online and looked at my order and sure enough I had ordered a 4 drawer dresser and was in the process of putting together a 5 drawer dresser - they sent me the wrong one! So, I called and they said i could bring it all back! Now the new stuff is on its way - this time it was a SET so everything will match! I hope! Haha. Hated buying it over the internet not being able to actually see it but since it is a set I feel like it should be ok. Once it all gets here I will be able to put everything together and get the baby room organized - then we will just wait for the baby... :)

Update....
I need to get better at keeping this blog updated... I know it hasn't been that long but I want to document this pregnancy and it is going to be over before I know it and haven't been very good about weekly updates like I wanted! And I have REALLY been slacking on belly pictures, I can't remember the last time I took one! It is really funny all the different remarks you get from people when you are pregnant... Its like everyone has something to say and some of them you wonder if they really understand that you are hormonal and some of the stuff they say rubs you the wrong way?? I had one guy I work with come up and tell me how fat I am getting and how he feels SO sorry for me because I look completely miserable!! Really??? I mean, I know I am pregnant so I am gaining some weight but FAT?? And I actually feel REALLY good or at least I thought I did, maybe I don't look how I feel? Haha. Besides being tired, I am actually really enjoying this... People keep asking me if I am ready for it to be over with and I have very mixed emotions about that. Part of me loves having this little guy kicking and flipping and whatever else he is doing in there and the other part of me can't wait to hold him in my arms and watch him grow. Its a bittersweet feeling because I am so excited to meet him but love being pregnant and this will probably be the last time I experience this so I want to cherish every last second of it - BUT after my ultrasound yesterday a bigger part of me is hoping he comes a few weeks early... I will explain more later on that. :)
We are getting ready for our annual family reunion at my dad's cabin this weekend - love this time of year! A whole weekend filled with good food, family, and getting away! The cabin is only 5 min from town but it feels like a completely different world when you are there. I am working half day and then running to Harley Davidson with the hubby to get my dad a Father's Day present. Then we will head out to the cabin.
Yesterday I had my 34 week appt and they did an ultrasound for a growth scan since the last one they did the baby was measuring big.... I was hoping I would go in this time and they would tell me the great news that he had slowed down..... No such luck! Aly - my favorite u/s tech was running over my belly initially showing us that the head was down, then went along the spine to show where he curled up, over his cute little butt (by the way its def a boy! :)) to his cute little toes that were pressed up against his forehead. Poor little guy looked so cramped in there!! Haha. Then she started measuring - to find the baby's weight they measure the head, waist, & top leg bone - and she starts laughing.... I look up at the screen and in the corner it says the wk/day that corresponds with the measurement - she is measuring the head and it says 38w4d....... NOT a good sign!! So then she goes to the belly and leg and flips to another screen that tells what the weight estimate is.....Are you ready for this??? I wasn't!! 5lb14oz! She remeasured the waist and got 5lb9oz better but not really... I have 6 weeks left. Can you say total panic mode??? That was me! I read on my baby bump app on my phone the baby should weigh 4.25lb right now! And will gain 1/2 lb each week the next 4 weeks. Aly tried to get some cute pics of the baby for me but he was so crammed in there and had feet and hands over his face so she couldn't get any really good ones. She did see LOTS of hair! And a chubby cheek...
So, as I am sitting here trying to hold back my tears from absolute panic I sit and wait for the doctor to come in... Have I mentioned, I totally LOVE my doctor! She is so sweet! She is totally not concerned with the size the ultrasound is showing. She said the head is the only thing measuring big and since the u/s measurements are taking 3 2d measurements and computing them into a 3d measurement they aren't competely accurate. And he could just have a slightly bigger head and that can throw it all off. She doesn't think this baby will be much bigger than Jayden was - I was hoping for a little smaller but as long as he is healthy.... She is going to do another u/s at 38 weeks to see where we are at on size, part of me is hoping I dont make it to that u/s.... Haha.
