35 weeks

Today : 35 weeks + 5 days

Weight Gain : 25 lbs, same as last week

Maternity Clothes : Yep

Stretch marks : Nope. Belly button is approximately 1/2 in and 1/2 out and I guess I'd forgotten to mention I got that weird dark line down my belly a couple months ago, it's hard to miss now that my belly is out-to-here. 

Sleep : Elusive. I try to sleep as much as possible, but I'm still waking up at the crack of dawn! Thankfully, my weekday no-work schedule allows Cash & I to take a nice long nap in the morning after Aaron leaves for work. 

This is Cash letting me know we have slept long enough.

Sickness : Nothing this week except for one night of crazy acid reflux and my usual carpal tunnel fun & games.

Movement :  Yes! Sunday and Monday Samson was moving around like CRAZY. I'm a little nervous that he was working on switching positions, but it feels like he is still in the same head down position. We'll have to see what the doctor says at my 36 week appointment on Monday.

Cravings : I have been feeling some serious urges for chocolate lately. Not sure if that can be tied to pregnancy, but I've only got one more month to play that card so we'll just pretend, okay?

Exciting happenings : We started decorating for Christmas this week. I'm really feeling pregnant in the way that prevents me from bending over to pick things off the floor, so watching me arrange the tree skirt had to have been hilarious. Also there is a loose bulb somewhere in the top 12" of the tree but there is no way I see it ending well if I climb up on a chair to try and fix it, so we'll just let it stay dark. We'll call it "ombre lighting." Also there is no tree topper yet for the same reason. Eventually I think Aaron will start to feel festive and help a preggo out. 

Bah humbug.

We are making some strides in the nursery and I have done three loads of baby laundry, which is probably one of the cutest things ever. I took the time to fold his clothes, but I'm fully aware that there will come a day that I will literally throw them in the drawers unfolded (or leave them in the basket?) and that's totally okay... I will look back at pictures of the stacks of tiny folded laundry and laugh (or cry) at how much free time I once had.

This was at the beginning when I started pulling out the tiny little moose clothes. SO CUTE!

I have been working on a cloth diaper post, or two, and I expect to have it up sometime next week. I'm not expecting to have a full nursery post up until after there is a baby to show off the space MTV Cribs style (literally) but I'll make sure to include a few early sneak peeks before D-Day, which as of yesterday is less than a month away!
