Size of baby: My little guy is the size of a coconut.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I have gained 3 more pounds this week. I am up to two pounds gained over all!!!
Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity clothes but am able to fit into my regular scrub pants and scrub tops. I definitely am able to wear less scrubs now and find myself wearing t-shirts with my scrub pants. I am wearing some normal/maternity clothes to work at least 1-2 times per week because I am just running out of scrub tops that actually fit. At least I have a great job where I can do either scrubs or regular clothes. Plus I guess if I get really huge I can always wear OR scrubs.
Gender: A little boy!
Movement: My little guy is very active. He rolls and kicks quite often. He actually had a moment on Monday (day 1 of 35 weeks) when he was moving so much for a couple of hours.
Sleep: I am sleeping the same. I wake up at specific times to potty...about every 2-3 hours.
What I miss: At times I miss sweet things or french fries and mashed potatoes. Good thing is I can eat 1-2 fries or a small spoonful of them and that satisfies my cravings.
Cravings: I still am loving my Fruit Loops and apples. I have added Frosted Flakes. I have also started taking antacids twice daily and this has helped tremendously.
Symptoms: I had a moment on Monday (day 1 of 35 weeks) where I was having contractions every 2-3 minutes for about 1-1:30. Of course my OB told me to go to the maternal observation unit. I continued to have contractions for hours but was not dilated. Because of that they sent me home contracting. GRRRR....it was so frustrating and I left terrified because I am scared I won't know when I am actually in labor. My legs and ankles are so swollen now at the end of the day despite wearing my compression socks. I have contractions often and am almost done packing all of the bags.
I also had two baby shower's this past week and we got lots of things for the baby.
