How far along: 35 weeks pregnant! Due June 28th!
Total weight gain: Up 20 lb.
Maternity clothes: Bottoms now are maternity or a few sizes up {I have two pair of pants that still fit but ONLY because they are stretchy jean material and are super low rise}. Some shirts are fitting ok still, but its mostly baggy ones, extra long ones, or simply maternity.
Stretch marks: I am still using my FAVORITE stretch mark oil {here} and the chest cream {here}. Also- A reader left a comment about the oil, which made me spend some time on Amazon looking around, and turns out they sell a BIG bottle of the oil for a ridiculous deal. The normal bottle is 4oz and runs $45, the big bottle is 16oz. and is only $68! What?!!!!!!!!!! From now on I am getting the big daddy {here}!
Sleep: Thank goodness sleep took a turn this week and I am back to sleeping decent. Getting up about once a night to go pee- but thats no biggie.
Best moment of this week: Jeremy coming home on Friday! He will not be traveling any more until after the baby and that makes us ALL so happy! Also, this weekend was incredible. We went on the most incredible group date {a total surprise to all the wives}, went to a friends, and a families pool party, AND got to meet our new beautiful niece. It was such a great week.
Miss anything: I think the fact that my doctor said i’ll probably have him between 37-38 weeks makes me not care anymore about what I am missing, and just want to savor in every last second of this pregnancy.
Movement: All the time- AND I found out at my 32 week appointment that he is measuring a week ahead, so that seems to make sense for how massive and {sometimes painful} his movements are.
Food cravings: Haven’t been able to get enough of Watermelon. Don’t know if its how hot it is outside or a prego craving, but either way every week Bray and I devour a whole Costco size watermelon. And drinking Arnold Palmers..yum!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing this week.
Have you started to show yet: Large and in charge, and thats quite alright;)
Gender: Another little boy, and we are so freaking excited!
Labor signs: Had a really scary night this week where I was having contractions every 2-3 minutes for about 1 1/2 hours. Jeremy was in Florida so I was freaking out thinking about something happening and him not being here! Luckily they slowed down before I had to go in to the hospital. I also got checked at my appointment at 34 1/2 weeks and I was dilated to a 1 and 30ish % effaced.
Belly button in or out: Its all out and I feel like pokes out of clothes more this time around than last
Wedding rings on or off: On, which is surprising since they weren’t fitting at this point with Bray!
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy as can be!
Looking forward to: Mainly having J home from here on out! Also, we are heading up North for a little RnR with some friends this weekend. I am looking forward to really soaking in these last few weeks as a family of three! Also, I am done with work now!
Adri, you look sooooo cute and sound so excited. I will be anxious to hear about baby #2. Your site is so well done and you just continue to amaze me with all your super creativity. All my love to all 3 of you. Linda Naticchioni
Linda!!! WE MISS YOU!!!! How is Cali? Thanks so much for the sweet words. We are so excited and cant believe that we will be meeting the new little man so soon. I will miss bringing him in to the office often and seeing you!
