Week 35 and 36

Hello - yes, this is 2 weeks behind, that's all - Enjoy!


How far along?  35/36 Weeks

Feeling: Resting more during the day, but not so much at night.

I am noticing that I am having a hard time: bending down to pick things up, getting out of bed quickly (I have to roll off sideways), getting into small cars, doing the dishes with my big tummy in the way (unless my arms are stretched out), putting lotion on my legs and feet (unless sitting and doing it one leg at a time), playing with Kona (too tired), or even showering and drying off (might start using the bigger guest bathroom).

Best moment these last few weeks: Having my good friends host a shower for me. They had yummy brunch foods, great punch, fun games and prizes, and also a card for people to fill out that had wishes for baby (pictures to come soon).
Also, my sister had her baby on Wednesday, August 1st. She was a week early and had a baby boy. A few hours later on the same day, my good friend Katie delivered her son! These two boys are actually cousins too! So exciting!

Miss Anything? Let me rephrase the question - What I won't miss: HEARTBURN or acid reflux after eating different foods. 

Movement: His shoulder or something is always jabbing out on my right side. I gently pat/push it back in and he nicely moves it. 

Food cravings: Lots of them. Since my blood pressure has been higher, I have been trying to stay away from foods high in salt. Sodium is in almost everything.

Looking forward to: Fixing the nursery, buying things for delivery day and packing my birthing bag. We also will be installing our new car seat this week! That will look different in our car.

Firsts: Started the "24" TV series. Started half days at work. Having to do some days of bed rest. Made a long long list of "To Do's"before baby comes.

Other: Part of a Facebook forum where people post questions, advise, free stuff and things to do with baby in Denton. I have gotten some free newborn diapers, a diaper genie and discounted breast friend pillow from it!

Birthing class: Is over, but we have started meeting with our Doula Heidi. She is going to be my birthing "maid of honor" on baby's birthday! 

Baby room: We finally have a paint color! Brown- calm down, not the whole room, just an accent wall. We started to build our crib (well opened the box) but found a gash in it from shipping. Be careful FedEx. So instead of building the crib, we put together the pack'n'play for our room. 

Our other child- Kona Baby: She loves going in the baby room and exploring. Haven't gotten a baby doll for her yet to practice being around, but very soon.

Where you find me and what I usually am doing. 

Resting more.

Shower game time! Love games! 

Game for me to play: I had to guess what each gift was and what to do with it. 

"Awe, I love this, thanks Kathryn!"

My beautiful, lovely friends who gave me this wonderful shower. So thankful for each of these ladies who are part of my life. Look forward to them having babies someday too.
