35 weeks pregnancy update

July 11, 2018

How far along:

35 weeks

Baby is the size of a:

Honeydew Melon or a kids backpack

Total weight gain:

Up two pounds this week, total weight gain is back to 36lbs

Maternity Clothes?

All the way.

Stretch Marks?

No! Will I make it four more weeks without getting any?

Sleep?

Some nights I have to use the restroom twice per night now, which is exhausting. Rolling out of bed or simply turning over is a chore for sure and apparently baby only likes me to lay on my left side, because every time I switch to the right, he kicks like crazy until I turn over. Getting way more tired during the day now too.

Best moment of the Week:

Katie gave me some alone time this weekend to just relax and to tackle my to do list, so that was nice.

Movement:

All the time!

Food Cravings:

Nothing unusual.

Belly Button in or out:

Pretty flat

Gender:

Sweet baby boy!

Symptoms:

Backaches, Rib Pains, getting out of breath and exhaustion. I also get a lot of bloody noses and my feet and hands started to get swollen this week. My wedding ring always used to be pretty loose and now it fits perfectly. My shoes however are a struggle to put on and I go barefoot whenever I can, even at work.

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?

Nothing.

Have you Started to Show yet?

Yes

What I miss:

Having energy and sleeping comfortable. My back is starting to hurt more and more and I can’t even sit on the floor with Fox for very long anymore, which makes me sad.

What I'm looking forward to:

Nothing special planned this week, since it’s Home Show week once again.

What I'm not looking forward to:

I’m working 11 days in a row and following that, Katie is going on a 4-day solo trip to Hawaii, so I know I will be super tired for the next two weeks.

This week it also hit me that I will have major surgery in four short weeks and I remembered all the unpleasant details that come with that (I will spare you with the specifics), so I started to freak out a little.

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget. Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place. Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology. I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit. The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house. We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
