35 Weeks



  • According to my app, Carter is the size of a large cantaloupe and is weighing around 5.5 lbs.  While every baby is different, I think this is pretty close.  I can tell he has pretty much ran out of room because I can feel elbows or knees or possibly even a heel every time he rolls around.
  • I am up 2.8 lbs for a total of 22.8 lbs.  I often wonder how the amount I gain each week fluctuates the way it does.  I continue to eat around the same stuff and continue to exercise around the same amount.  One week I barely gain any weight and the next weeks its almost 3 lbs!!  I am well within my target weight gain so no complaints, but I am totally puzzled by this.
  • Carter is still moving around like crazy and at times he seems to be wadding up in a ball.
  • My sinuses are a mess.  Half the time I can only breathe out of one side of my nose and this always seems to happen at night which results in my sleeping with my mouth open which apparently results in snoring and a sore throat the next morning.
  • Only 35 days to go!  How is this possible?!?!  I am gotten to the point of extreme excitement and I am very anxious for Carter's arrival.  I am trying to just enjoy these last few weeks and ensure we have everything we need.
  • I had a doctors appointment today and Carter's heartbeat was good and strong.  It was in the 140's.  My blood pressure was low.  They took it twice and finally got it to 119/52.  I felt good so they weren't extremely worried about it being low.
Happy Valentine's Day!
