35 Week Survey

All I've got time for right now. Dang it! Enjoy! ITS FRIDAY!

_________________________

Survey time!!

How far along?: 35 weeks!! and a few extra days now
How big is baby?: We have no idea. We've been told she's anywhere from 5 1/2 to 7 pounds. BIG DIFFERENCE!
Weight Gain?: Up 25 lbs... eek! Trying not to freak out by that number so let's move on...
Stretch Marks?: Hallelujah nope.
Maternity Clothes?: Dresses only - 24/7. I gave in and packed up all my pants during the move.
Sleep?: Well let's see. Between my nightmare last night of having a belly the size of the world's biggest freakin pumpkin (no joke) in the middle of a raining gun fight (bullets flying every which a way while I manuever my big pumpkin belly around hallways) and my getting up three times to pee.... sleep was umm not happening so well last night. Sadly, this is becoming routine. One more reason I say "Come on baby girl!" as if my sleep will improve once she's here- yeah I know, I'm dreaming.

Best moment this week?: MOVING!!!! And my husband's surprise fondue night in our new house. SCORE HUBS!
Food Cravings?: Ice. Ice. Ice. Mmm
Pregnancy brain?: I've cried twice today already. BOO!
Gender?: Its all pink.
Movement?: Con.stant.ly. Her daddy loves to feel her too. I caught little feet last night running along my ribs.
What I miss?: Everything.
Belly Button?: It is NOT an outtie- no matter what my cousin says.
Labor Signs?: Braxton hicks. We're working on that.
What I'm looking forward to?: My baby shower tomorrow! I'm so excited! Its my one and only being thrown by my mother-in-law and cannot wait to see my family at it. Sis won't be there (stupid San Fran being so far away, but I'm hoping we get Skype up during it so she'll still "be" here).
Milestone?: Well we moved out on our own finally so we're sortof adults again. TTL.

MIA explanation

Well, you may think I'm joking when I say we are a giant and a dwarf living a life of transition, but, nope. Transition is very real in our lives, especially right now. So, I'm alive. I promise. And am still very pregnant. There's just a LOT going on right now. Let's see.

At work, they've brough in a temp for two weeks for me to train. She will replace me when I'm gone so I'm cramming everything in so she is well prepared. But, that leaves me with a shadow all day long, so no blogging. I figure its probably not the best idea to teach her my "bad habits" of waisting time. HA! I don't think its a waist. Most days, my blog is the only thing I look forward to at work. Shh. And...

We moved! I say it was a split second decision, but it is a well thought out split second decision. We have a friend that has had his house on the market since February (he suddenly had to move to Colorado then and put the house up for sale. Well its sat there and sat there. So, we suggested we move in to it for a month to month agreement, helping out both sides. We pay a little towards his mortgage, he keeps it on the market, we have a place to live on our own for a while. WIN! So, Friday we decided. Saturday we packed up. Sunday we moved. Now, we have a little 3 bedroom house in a great location (with no internet :( )all to ourselves before Peapod comes! Its just temporary until the Giant gets his final leave orders, but shoot, it got us out and that's exactly what I- I mean we- needed. Its been great so far. We've missed our life alone together. And I think now more than ever we need that. Cause come a few weeks, we'll never be alone again! Speaking of which...

35 WEEKS! I am now 35 weeks. What does that mean? 35 days until our little Peapod meets the world and the world meets her! Holy Moly! I'm shooting for less than 35, so we're doing what we can to help her along... ;) Come along my little tiny dancer. We are excited to meet you! I've been paying close attention to every one of her movements the last few weeks. I don't want to forget this time. I will miss that the most, might be the only thing I really miss about this. Even with the oh-so-sore ribs, I know I will still miss the weird alien belly movements that have my middle jumping all day long.

I will do my 35 week survey the first chance I get, but unfortunately not now. My shadow is back. See ya!
