35 weeks

35 weeks, 35 days to go (Sunday, 8/30)

How far along? 35 weeks.

Total weight gain: Holding even, I told my NP & OB today I no longer care and since I don't own a scale...

Maternity clothes? Shirts. Everything else is my pre-pregnancy clothes, under the bump.

Sleep: Insomnia has hit with the heat wave. I was up until 5am Sunday night/Monday morning because I could.not.sleep (even after 1.5 Benadryl), so I clean the guest room, researched things on the internet, made lots of lists... I felt accomplished.

Best moment this week: More GD diet experimenting... Kenos is good. Noodle House? Bad.

Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks contractions Sunday & all day Monday while out shopping, confirmed today that they're doing some good. 1.5cm dilated, starting to thin out.

Belly Button in or out? Flat.

What I miss: Cool weather. This is the first week I've seriously considered moving to Colorado.

What I am looking forward to: R no longer freaking out at my internal ("Did they hurt you? Are you bleeding? Cramping? NO MORE! I don't want you or Bella to get an infection!"). While sweet, I kinda want to bop him on the head.

Weekly Wisdom: I found GD-friendly chocolate. It is awesome. Diet Root Beer floats, while in theory sound disgusting (Diet Root Beer + Splenda low carb ice cream) are enough to take the edge off.

Milestones: 35/35, first internal.

And to not make this fully baby related, our new(er) foster puppy Sasha. We've had her for two weeks and I am in love. Pregnant women make for failing foster parents. R is not amused, he was attached to Trav and would have kept him in a moment if I had said yes (and we're not keeping this one, it'll just hurt to let her go).
