35 Weeks

EXACTLY one month until Little Nugget's ETA!

Home Alone

When I think about the time remaining in this pregnancy, I waver quite frequently between the above reaction and one of serene contentedness.  I am ridiculously excited to meet this little guy, but absolutely, and I think rightfully, terrified in a very respectful kind of way.  It is obvious that our lives are going to be changed completely by his arrival, and while I know it's going to be a great change, I have this weird, abusive, love-hate relationship with any type of change.  I'm sure that we will figure things out along the way, and I'm also quite sure that this blog will turn out to be quite comical throughout the experience.  I just hope that I can keep up posting so that I have some record of our crazy existence!

For now, I continue to document the easy part of parenting!

How far along: 35 weeks, 4 days
Gender: Boy!
Weight gain: +28
Maternity clothes: Definitely the only thing (other than dresses) that I will fit in at this point!
Stretch marks: Nope, and I'm really hoping that at this point they just never show up!
Bellybutton in or out: In, but definitely not by much this week.
Wedding rings on or off: On
Sleep: Last night I was a bit restless, but I'm hoping that was just a fluke.  I've been sleeping so soundly so far that I really would hate for the last few weeks to not be good in the sleep department.
Best moment this week: Finally clearing all of the boxes out of the nursery and having it look semi-presentable.  Also, narrowing down what else we still need and ordering it when my "completion discounts" kick in for my registries! :-D Also, dinner with some of my favorite people tonight!
Miss anything: Not so much this week...well, I guess I miss being able to breathe after I eat...my stomach is definitely squished.
Happy or moody most of the time: Pretty happy...
Movement: The movement has started to feel like more rolling and less distinct kicks.  Except for last night, the hubby and I were snuggling on the couch, and hubs definitely got a swift kick to the side of the head!
Queasy or sick: A bit yucky feeling off and on, but nothing terrible.
Looking forward to: Ordering the last few things from the registries and of course this little nugget making his arrival in a month (or a bit less)!
