35 Weeks Already?!

I am now 35 weeks and feeling pretty good. I would feel amazing if it were not for this nasty cold I have had for the last two weeks. The worst part has been the cough. Coughing with an almost full term baby in your belly is quite interesting.

I am also happy to report that there are still no kankles. At this point I would be surprised to see them (knock on wood). I have also had very little heart burn. At this stage with David I was eating Tums like they were M&M's. Probably the best part of all is my weight control this time around.

I have been told that I am bigger than last time but I think that is because people are seeing more belly instead of a belly, booty, bloated face and thunda thighs! It seems like my belly is bigger this time because that is all you really see!

My total weight gain to date is 22lbs. I slipped up a little while we in NH. I blame my MIL for the ice cream place she introduced to us that has a yummy pistachio flavored soft serve. Ice cream has always been my pregnancy weakness. Now that we're back home and cooking our meals I should be able to stick to the pound a week that is recommended by the doctors.

It's been funny to go back and compare my pictures from last time and see the difference. We noticed that it's most noticable in my feet and face. I was impressed by just how bad my kankles were.

Kankles with David - GROSS!


No Kankles with Shaun!


This is my 36 week picture with David. Look how bloated and gross I was...The Doc and I agreed it's not my best look!


Still hard to believe the end is near. Part of me wants this to be over but then I get my reality check and realize that Shaun is much easier to care for right were he is! I just can't help but feel that he is going to make an early arrival. Any guesses?
