35 weeks

Things are going well here.  By well, I mean that I'm exhausted even with a good nap mid day.  I can eat, but not a lot at a time.  I grunt when I turn in bed and sometimes grimace.  I take up the majority of the couch.  Bella still fits with me, though.  Nick, not so much.  I find it really difficult to get out of the car when we are facing up the incline of our driveway.  In fact, I find it moderately difficult to get off the couch.  I've had a pretty good appetite and have been steadily gaining about a pound a week.  I'm still really enjoying my candy, although I do try to limit it a little (only 1 piece at a time, usually after lunch and dinner and maybe one before I go to bed)

 

LB is getting bigger and bigger.  He is about 18 inches and weighs about 5.25 lbs.  The size of a honeydew melon.  He's still moving a lot and tries to kick, but I think I get more heel jabs and slides.  Those tend to tickle more than the kicks do.  He tries to stretch out, pushing off either my hip or side and you can see his little but pushing out, usually on my right of my belly button.  Not the most comfortable, but kind of impressive to see.  I remember Brenna doing this too.  90% of babies survive if born at this time.  After another week, we're good to go.  We have another Drs appointment a week from Wednesday and then we start more frequent visits.  It's getting so close!
