At 35 weeks, I forget what it’s like to fully be able to bend over.

Loving: When my husband lays his head on my belly and talks to our boy. I love it even more when he nudges him right in the head. I just know they are going to be buddies. Can’t wait for my man to have his little sidekick!

Hating: I’m fighting some feelings of sadness. At times I feel alone and miss my mom so much. She died when I was a little girl. I have done really well as I’ve gotten older to be thankful for the life I have, to be ok with how it turned out because my God is good. But there is something about becoming a mom that makes me miss my mom so so much.

Weight Gain: Dr. Appt next week to check the baby’s position (my sweet mother-in-law is going to come, excited for her to see the little man!) and will post how my weight is doing after that.

News: This week, on the 21st of January, that will be my one month mark to my due date. Technically I’ll only be 35.5 weeks, but since my due date is on the 21st of February, we’ll be one month away according to the calendar. Eeeek!

I’ve been reading stories about women having their babies at 35 to 37 weeks and that’s me! It’s freaking me out but also making me think this little guy could come early.

I experienced my first, legitimate Braxton Hicks contractions. Wowza – those were painful and consistently on and off for quite a few minutes. I think I had about 5 of them. They passed and all was well – but I told my husband I wasn’t sure I wanted to do this anymore. haha! There is no turning back now!
