34 & 35 weeks (Madeline)

How far along?: 35 weeks, 5 days. The photo is from 34 weeks, 6 days on Christmas so it can work for both weeks, right? ;)

How big is baby?: Approximately the size of a Butternut squash (@ 34 weeks) & a Coconut (@ 35 weeks), between 17.2-18.7 inches in length & weighing between 4.2-5.8 lbs.Yep, I believe it.

Total weight gain/loss: +23 pounds as of this AM. I'm not sure how we've only gained this little other then the heartburn that renders eating as not an option. =(

Maternity clothes?: Tanks (just for length) & a mix of maternity & non-maternity shirts. I need the Bella band all of the time now, but still wearing my regular jeans. I have one pair of maternity pants currently that I HATE & will only wear if everything else is in the laundry. I have one pair of pants that I like & a few others that I tolerate at this point. But seriously? If I could just wear PJ pants every day from this point on...I would.

Symptoms: Heartburn, back pain, hip pain, uh...just pain in general. =( Insomnia is full-force, still getting nauseous & headachey on occasion. Feeling huge & uncomfortable. EXHAUSTED. Is being "Done" a symptom because I am officially there at this point.

Stretch marks?: Still just the ones from H thus far, BUT they are definitely more noticeable this week. =(

Sleep: I'm tired. ALL THE TIME. This is probably the story of my life from now until FOREVER. I also now have insomnia regularly that is quite annoying. I was up from 4-6:30AM the other morning for no reason. Not pleasant.

Movement: She has her slow days here & there, but she's mostly just crazy now & her movements are bordering on massively uncomfortable/alien-like.

Food cravings: I don't have as many aversions, but still lack of appetite. My stomach fills quickly with small amounts of food & nothing sounds particularly great still. Not really sure at what point this is going to change, but whatever...I'm used to it at this point.

Gender: Sweet baby girl. <3

Labor Signs: Nada, thankfully.

Belly Button in or out?: In & I'll be surprised if it doesn't stay that way. I have yet to ever "pop" with any pregnancy. It's starting to get flatter, but it's still an innie thus far.

What I miss: Not being pregnant at this point. =( Maybe it's just this week or maybe it's just today particularly, but I am definitely feeling done being pregnant. Sad, since we have potentially another month + to go. =(

What I am looking forward to: Having a baby? lol Seriously though, finishing putting the nursery together & gathering the last few necessities for baby girl. Non-baby related? Getting the house back in order after the holidays & back into our normal routine.
