35 Weeks Pregnancy Update: We’re Just Trying to Make it to the End of the Month

Our 35 Weeks pregnancy update with Baby #3.  Follow along as we prepare for our third baby and becoming a family of five!  You can see all our pregnancy updates for baby #3 here.  

A new year and a new pregnancy update for you all today!  35 weeks plus with our third baby  and it is REALLY starting to hit me just how close we are to becoming a family of 5.

Now that the new year is here, I am feeling all the rush to get things done.  I’ve had several people ask me if I’m just SO READY to have this baby, and the truth is, as excited as I am to meet our newest one, we still have so much to do this month that I’m hoping he holds off just a bit.  

At least until his big brother’s birthday.

35 Weeks Pregnancy Update:

How far along? 35 weeks + 4 days.

Still guessing that we won’t make it to our due date in February, but hoping that we can wait at least until the end of January. 

Maternity clothes? Yes.  If it’s stretchy, soft, comfy, and fits – that’s what I’m wearing. Also, this cardigan with leggings over EVERYTHING. 

Sleep: Still not enough.  The past couple of weeks were mostly due to holiday travel and a couple nights at home with a fussy toddler – still not sure what was exactly disrupting his sleep, but man.  We’ve had some sleepy days over here. 

Best moment this week:  We spent a lot of family time last week and it was so much fun.  We built gingerbread houses on New Year’s Day while Hubs was off of work (we didn’t get to them before Christmas).  And we had a few fun family game nights, too.  It was the best.  

Movement:  Still depends on the day.  Some days, I feel him moving and grooving all day long in there and other days, I really have to make myself be still and pay attention.  

Food cravings:  Still eating everything around here. 

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Still battling heartburn many days, but nothing that’s actually making me sick.  This boy better have a head full of hair. 

Labor Signs: Nope.  And hopefully not for several weeks. 

Other Pregnancy Symptoms: Really, the same as our last update.  Varicose veins that don’t cause so much discomfort as much as they do unsightliness, and uncomfortable joints – mainly my hips and tailbone that actually do cause a lot of discomfort as each day goes on.    

Wedding rings on or off? Nope.  I took them off over Christmas because they were feeling so tight.  I’ve been wearing a couple of these silicone rings in their place and I like them a lot!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Mostly happy.  Focusing on creating boundaries, being present and preparing for baby. 

Weekly Wisdom:  I’ve got nothing this week. 

Milestones:  Moving to weekly check-ups.  This is when I know for sure for sure that baby is coming soon.  Weekly visits make everything move more quickly.  

Looking forward to: Marking things off of our to-do list before baby comes.  2nd birthday party (which I still need to start actually planning), painting our master bathroom, packing our hospital bag, getting little bitty diapers and putting them in the diaper bag, organizing baby clothes.  You know…just all the things.    

I think we have just a couple more of these pregnancy updates left!  How did that happen so quickly?!
