35 Weeks...

Painting by my amazing and talented mother!  

Your Size: 6 ½ Pounds… The size of a small pumpkin.

 

Your Due Date: November 12^th… only 4 weeks left.

 

Maternity/ Baby clothes? I was good this week and haven’t bought any of the adorable Christmas & Winter clothes yet… I’m waiting to see how big you are going to be and then I can stock up on holiday gear for you!

 

Nursery: It’s almost done!!! I think by next week I may actually be able to call it finished.

 

Baby Gear: Luckily things have slowed down now that we have almost everything… well everything except baby!

 

Sleep: It comes and goes!

 

This week’s adventure: This week’s adventure was trying to get you to flip around. The doctor said it wasn’t likely. The specialist wasn’t too positive about it. Even the Chiropractor said that it may be too late… but we got you to flip! We did Webster Technique (with the Chiropractor), Moxibustion (with the acupuncturist), I played music, used cold packs on my tummy, tried hanging upside down… everything that was suggested on any website we tried. And happily it worked.
 

Miss anything? Being able to walk and not being in pain. You are off my sciatica but your head is pushing right into my cervix now- you are ready to get out!!!

 

Movement:  So much movement all the time!

 

Your favorite foods: At the moment nothing… but we made some super yummy cookies over the weekend with Lisa- Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Butterscotch. Which was only part of the crazy baking I did! I also made Pumpkin Nutella Muffins, Peanut Butter Pie, Nutella Roll Up Cookies and Peanut Butter Cookies!

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Everything seems to make me sick again.

 

Gender: Boy

 

Labor signs: They have started big time now! Though I’m a little worried since I’m already over all these contractions… I have 1 an hour now, and mixed with the fun lower back labor pain!

 

 Symptoms: Just the labor ones.

 

Belly button in or out?  Still in, it’s a miracle!

 

Wedding rings on or off? Still on!

 

Happy or moody most of the time: More happy!

 

Looking forward to: You! I’m looking forward to you!

 

Advice to my soon-to-be baby: Don’t accept that you can’t do something even if the odds are against you. People in life will tell you that you will not be able to do everything, that sometimes in life you will fail. And although technically this is true, never take no for an answer because if you truly believe in something you can make miracles happen.

 

P.S. The Notre Dame Scoreboard is now 5-0! But the last few games have been rough… and the one this weekend isn’t looking too good- they are going up against the #1 team!
