35 Weeks

How far along? 35 weeks
Total Weight Gain? 28ish
Stretch Marks? no new ones since Nolan
Sleep: a LITTLE improvement on the comfort aspect because I found a 3 pillow method that is working for me currently, but still having MAJOR sleep issues with both kids. Nolan is still waking up in night meltdowns, and Stella is waking up crying because she hasn’t figured out how to pull her blankets up and some bad dreams.

Best Moment this Week: Mother Son Dance. It was great dancing with Nolan and spending time with him.

Miss Anything? I wish I could hold Nolan for longer and dance with him how he liked without it hurting my belly.
Movement: Lots still
Food Craving? Eating a lot of chocolate
Anything making you queasy or sick? it pops up randomly and if I get too hungry
Bellybutton in our out? out
Wedding Rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time? very much up and down but I think that is my life more than my hormones.
Looking forward to? seeing baby on the ultrasound next week.
Labor Signs? contractions can get up to be every 5 minutes lasting 30-55 seconds for 2ish hours, but they go away when when I sleep and start over after dinner the next day. They are getting a little stronger too.
Anything Else? I am working on a birth/induction plan that I feel more comfortable with so I can discuss it with my doctor. I am also working on writing up the plans for the kids and dogs for their care givers. Alex got off work for the induction and following week. Maternity photos clothes are picked!
Nolan was 40 weeks.
