35 Weeks

Yesterday marked the beginning of week 35, although it feels like week 192! The little girl is measuring in around 18 inches long and weighs over 5lbs! I’m pretty sure she weighs 40lbs though, sometimes that’s what it feels like! And I don’t know how she can still jump around like she does and be that big! She’s going to be an active little lady! Her kidneys are fully developed, and her liver is starting to process waste products – sweet! And yes, she’s still fattening up. As am I, I’ve taken a strong liking to my black yoga pants, I may wear them out over the next 5 weeks!

I had a doctor appointment on Tuesday and it was business as usual. Since this appointment was rescheduled, I don’t have another appointment until week 37! There’s all sorts of bloodwork and tests at that point!

I have been sleeping horribly lately thanks to frequent peeing, heartburn, and a small little cold I’m fighting off. I’ve shacked up on the couch the past two nights so that I can sleep sitting up and not wake up Brian every two hours when I get up and stumble around trying to make myself feel better. Last night, I broke down and took a Pepcid before bedtime and I only woke up twice to pee – it was amazing! A nice little birthday treat! Yes, today is my birthday – 27 on the 27th! I’m going to celebrate in style by driving up I-75 to Sylvania this evening, it doesn’t get much crazier than that! The weekend is full of birthday celebrations and a giant baby shower thrown by my momma! I’m looking forward to it!

But for now, I have to get through this last day of the work week. My cube at work has been festively decorated so that makes the day a little more fun!! And I get off one hour early as a birthday present – what could be better?!p-1600-1200-068ff55c-4a41-4467-92c0-4b3b0b5d31ca.jpeg
