Thirty-Five & Still Alive!

Cheesy Rhyme I know...but it's true!  I'm surviving, and actually feeling better this week than last.  Here's hoping I can get through 2.5 more weeks of work!

Mommy's Stats:

How far along?: 35 weeks! 2 more till I'm "full-term"

Weight gain/loss: not sure...going to midwife next week.

 Symptoms:  just uncomfortable, tired, sleepless, losing my belly button and itchy. 

Maternity clothes?: except workout clothes and a couple dresses, all

Stretch marks?: nope...but damn those red veins on my legs! ugh!

Sleep:  tossing & turning ALL NIGHT LONG!  I also always wake up around 3:30am and can barely waddle into the bathroom without peeing my pants.  Fun times!

Best moment this week:  My brunch hosted by my work friends (see previous post).  It was so "anti baby shower" and I loved every minute of catching up with friends.  Love love loved it!!!

Food cravings: as far as "cravings" go...really I'm just trying to eat healthy these days, so I don't pay attention to cravings, if I even have any.  However, I am a bit more impulsive when buying food, indulging in sweets or baked goods or buying random things when we grocery shop.

Gender:  I still can't believe I'm having a little girl.  Here's a funny story though...I have a coworker that still thinks I'm having a boy, and she even bought me a boy gift.  I didn't have the heart to tell her:)  :)

Belly button in or out?: neither still...and it's U-G-L-Y!

 Movement?: butt/back/feet action

Signs of Labor: nada this week, I'm okay with that.  I want her to cook at least 2 more weeks so she has less of a chance of ending up in the NICU.

What I miss?: booze!

What I'm looking forward to:  SPRING BREAK hands down...and finally getting all my last items on my to-do list done. 

Weekly Wisdom: unless you're an Olympic or world-class runner, no one can run at this point in your pregnancy.  I give up!!  Walking blows...but, alas, I do it anyway.  Thank God for podcasts. 

Weekly WTF:  I can't control my piddling!  I have officially peed my pants a number of times.  Here's another story for you...I have a bad cough, and when I cough...I pee!  The fam and I were out at Home Depot and on our way to Meijer to grocery shop.  I started having a coughing fit, and ended up peeing my pants.  Luckily, we had Ty's cart cover and a diaper in the car.  You can use your imagination on how those were used.  It wasn't pretty.  Hubby and I couldn't stop laughing, which, in itself, makes me pee.  It wasn't my finest hour, but it makes for a good story. 

Milestones: 35/35 is tomorrow, and I have almost made it to spring break, which was a big goal for me.
