Baby's Size:  Honeydew (18.7" long and 5.8lbs)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 28 lbs 

Starting to Show? I feel like a whale and am waddling around everywhere. My feet are really swelling a lot lately.
Clothes: Maternity all the way, even those aren't super comfortable. All I want to wear are Evan's tees and comfy shorts!
Belly Button:Same
Sleep:Getting up to pee even more and it's excruciatingly painful when I roll over and attempt to get out of bed.
Movement? She keeps sticking her foot up under my right rib which is started to get uncomfortable and she's definitely doing a lot of moving still.

Food Cravings: I've had McDonald's more than I'd like to admit this week.

Queasy/Sick? Throwing up some liquid more often in the sink when I brush my teeth in the morning.
Miss Anything? Not feeling uncomfortable all the time.
Mood: Tired, Anxious, Excited, Nervous, Ready to go!!!!
Best Moment of the Week: Having a long weekend! Getting maternity photos done. Getting Ella's room completely done (other than the wall hangings). And shopping at Wrentham with Jen and getting some cute clothes for Ella.
Looking Forward To: Starting this labor process. I'm so done being pregnant and just want to hold our baby girl!!

35 Weeks (August 23-29, 2012)

I had my 36 week doctor's appointment with ultrasound on Tuesday! It was great seeing her on the ultrasound today. We could really see her face and the nurse said she has a lot of hair. The u/s nurse said she looks to be around 6lbs, but the midwife looking at the chart said she's 6lbs 10oz (yikes that seems big for a whole month left to go). They said she has gallstones but not to worry at all because they usually disappear during delivery. I'm not dialated at all yet, wishing I was a little bit considering she's bigger than I thought she would be at this point.

Baby's Size:  Coconut (18.2" long and 5.3lbs)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 28 lbs 
Starting to Show? My belly is huge, and wicked heavy
Clothes: Haven't really attempted any pants other than maternity or stretchy this week. The thought of being squeezed even the slightest bit while feeling this full is very unappealing to me.
Belly Button:Same
Sleep:Sleep is okay once I fall asleep. Still getting up every night to pee, once in a while twice which is brutal. Getting up is painful and a huge process.
Movement? She's doing a lot of moving, which can be a bit uncomfortable sometimes since she's so big now.
Food Cravings: I've been making a lot of casadillas this week.
Queasy/Sick? Other than dry heaving and a bit of throwing up in the sink when I brush my teeth, no.
Miss Anything? Not being pregnant.
Mood: Tired, Almost ready to be done with this, Getting really excited for her to come and I can't wait to meet her!! Got a little nervous after my doctor's appointment on Tuesday about how big she will be when I deliver.
Best Moment of the Week: Getting my new car!! Also Sunday was a nice feeling of everything seems to be pretty much in place for Ella to come and just being able to relax out in the backyard and not worry about what still needs to be done was such a nice feeling.
Looking Forward To: Going into labor! Seeing her! Getting her room and everything completely finalized

34 Weeks (August 16-22, 2012)

Baby's Size:  Butternut Squash (17.7" long and 4.7lbs)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 25 lbs 
Starting to Show? Belly is huge and it's really hard to move around
Clothes: I am getting sick of all my clothes that actually fit and nothing feels comfortable on other than Evan's tee shirts and comfy shorts which is what I change into the second I walk in the house.
Belly Button:Same
Sleep:Waking up to pee pretty much every night around 3:00/3:30am. I'm sleeping fine but finding a comfortable position is starting to become very difficult.
Movement? Always moving but as she gets bigger, the moving is starting to become a little uncomfortable. She's also been hiccuping a lot.
Food Cravings: This week I'm eating a mash-up of veggies, fruit, and one small baby red potato with cheese and sour cream. Still not in the mood for anything.
Queasy/Sick? No, just cramped feeling in my belly as Ella is running out of room.
Miss Anything? Feeling normal and not being uncomfortable.
Mood: Not great, I'm pretty uncomfortable and definitely getting ready to be done being pregnant
Best Moment of the Week: Getting Ella's room more together with the cubes, laundry and setting up the crib sheets & bumper!
Looking Forward To: Seeing Ella one last time before we meet her in the last ultrasound on August 28th. I really want to see what she looks like and am almost ready for her to come out!
