 Baby’s size: She is the size of a coconut! Yummy! She is about 5.5 pounds heavy and a pound or two away from her birth weight!!!

How far along:  35 weeks. 
Total weight gain: +27 pounds.  Current weight: 137
Sleep:  I get up often throughout the night to use the restroom, ease a leg cramp or simply to change positions and try to get more comfortable. 
Maternity Clothes:  I found a maternity dress at Target on clearance for $10 this week.  I decided to get it since most things in my closet don’t fit this belly. 
 Food cravings: still loving fruit 
 Food aversions: Still no food aversions
Symptoms I have: Nothing new… sleepy, achy, swollen and hot.  I a staying on top of schoolwork and I complete this term next week! I will be getting my first vacation from school since December and it will be a glorious 2 week vacation from school! I think I forgot to mention in previous posts that I have been having Braxton hicks contractions for the past few weeks.  Some days I have 10+, other days, I don’t notice a single one. 
Movement: baby girl loves to stretch
Belly Button: outie
Gender:  my little sugar girl
 Best moment of the week:  We should be getting settled into our new digs this week and couldn’t be more thrilled!  
What I miss:  Nothing.  How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.  I am working on focusing on stopping to smell the roses each and every day.  Time is fleeting and is so very precious.
What I’m looking forward to:  I am looking forward to every moment of the future…

 Additional Details:   Next week, we will be 36 weeks… FULL TERM!!! Eeep!
