35 weeks


Today, I'm 35 weeks, which means I have 35 days left until my due date. Only 5 more weeks, so, if I happened to go a couple weeks early (ha ha), then that would be only 3 weeks away! (Trust me- I'm not that delusional... I really don't expect that to happen.) As of this week, if I go into the labor, the doctor said that they won't try to stop it. Yikes! The baby should be 5-5.5 pounds this week.

Today, I decided to take a picture with just my camisole, instead of a shirt that doesn't really show off how big I really am. I did this since numerous people have said I looked really small... I beg to differ! I think it looks like the baby is still pretty high.

I slept terribly last night. No matter which side I laid on, it seemed like the baby was trying to poke through my stomach and into the mattress or something. Or, he'd be up under my ribs. I hope it's his butt (and not his head) that I'm feeling up so high. I also kept having dizzy spells this weekend. Even just sitting on the couch, reading a magazine, I'd suddenly get dizzy and feel like I was going to faint. I haven't had any more spells today, so hopefully that has passed. It was a little scary!

Clay put the carseat base in the car yesterday. He said it was pretty simple. But, we'll have it checked to make sure it was done correctly. The manager at his office actually is certified to check carseats, so that's convenient. Also yesterday, I went through all the baby clothes that we have, and sorted them by size. I made lists of everything that we have, so now I have a better idea of what we still need to buy. We also still needs lots of other non-clothes baby items too. Luckily, I got a big Target giftcard from a friend this weekend, so that will really come in handy.

I'm so excited that it's Thanksgiving this week, and we're not going anywhere! We will both work Monday through Wednesday, but then we'll have a four day weekend. I can't wait!
