THIRTY......five

It's coming. The date is getting closer. Next week I'll go in for my first check and I'll be praying that things are starting to happen.

I've got quite the waddle, I can tell, I can feel it...but I can't help it. I swear sometimes he is falling out.

His kicking is starting to be sort of painful. He shoves a {fist?} into my hip bone and a {foot?} into my ribs. This goes on through most of the night.

I'm not sleeping very well. I toss and turn and wake up to any little noise. I am very careful when I rotate positions, so I don't wake him up...usually doesn't work. He doesn't do much of his sleeping during the night...or the day? I don't know when he finds time to sleep. Let's hope this changes QUICK after birth.

He is still doing major tricks in there...so he's either REALLY talented or TINY. I can't believe the things he is finding room to do. Although, he doesn't seem to worry much about what he's kicking out of his way. I don't know where my internal organs could possibly be at this point. Maybe in my throat?

I'm having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions and some that are getting more painful {this is good...hopefully moving things along}

I pee at least every hour.

My feet swell every evening.

I had my first REAL bloody nose last week. {never had one in my life} It was dripping and everything...crazy

I've had two major meltdowns in the last two weeks {bawling like a baby} ... I think my brain is finally giving up. IT just doesn't know what to do with these hormones!

I washed some of the baby clothes and blankets. And picked out some tiny jammies to take to the hospital with me.

I still haven't decided what to bring him home in {like that even matters...honestly}

Names are narrowed down to 2 or 3 {although I'm pretty sure my favorite and RJ's favorite aren't the same one...dang it}

I'm thrilled to be at 35 weeks...because at this point the baby will almost positively be born healthy! He's fully developed just in there getting fatter! {or so my weekly email from babycenter.com says}

So, anytime baby...we're as ready as we're going to be!

5 weeks to go! {pray for 3...}
