My baby bump at 35 weeks from the side:
And from the front:
Total Weight Gain: I am up a total of 13.5 lbs. (I lost about a pound this week.)
Movement: Cullen is still moving quite a bit. I know he has to be squished in there and is constantly trying to stretch out.
Boy or Girl? Boy!!!
Food Cravings: No cravings this week, I just want to eat a lot!
How I’m Feeling: A little overwhelmed. We only have about 5 weeks left until Cullen’s due date, and there is still so much that we need to get done. I have to finish his quilt, make the crib skirt and curtains, and we need to finish organizing the nursery. I’m hoping I have the energy to get it all done before he gets here.
Other than that I feel about the same as I did last week. Like just about every other woman does in her third trimester.
Size of Baby: Large Cantaloupe (19 – 22 in, 5.5 lbs)
Baby’s Development: Most of baby’s growth over the next month or so will be in weight (with a gain of anywhere from one pound to several), not height. Baby’s weight is now made up of about 15 percent body fat and will continue to increase to 30 percent at term. Also continuing to grow at an amazing pace is your baby’s brain power.
Best Part of this Week: My good friend hosted a Very Hungry Caterpillar themed shower for us at church yesterday. She did such a great job! It was so cute! And Cullen got lots of cute things from friends and family.
What I’m Looking Forward To: Christmas!!! I still have a lot to do to get ready, but I am very excited! And then Corey and I both have the week after Christmas off, so we will have some time to spend together and finish getting everything ready for Cullen.
