35 weeks!

OMG!!! Only 5 weeks left?! Scary stuff!! We;ve had a really nice Christmas with hubby's family, and then went to visit my parents yesterday, arrived back home today. I have to admit the 3 hour journey in the car up to my parents house, really wasn't appealing to me, as soon as I get into the car, baby curls up under my ribs making it painful and difficult to breathe! However, he/she was very well behaved on the way up yesterday, and most of the way back today as well. Clever baby!!

As usual, my only gripe is heartburn - I'm still feeling good. Braxtons have been piccking up a little the last few days, but nothing painful, just uncomfy. Can you believe my baby is almost 6lbs in weight? My bump is still really neat. I saw my aunty today for the first time in about 2 or 3 months, she said I looked great and can't believe I'm 35 weeks, my bump looks so neat! I'm at a weight gain of approx 21lbs (approx 1 and half stone), so I've done really really well. I thought I was closer to 2 st. It's completely all bump, all baby.

Time for JellyBaby's update!

Congratulations! You’re now carrying nearly 6 lbs of baby not counting their amniotic fluid, the umbilical cord, or the placenta itself. We’re impressed because that’s a LOT of work non-stop. Are you feeling proud of yourself yet? Well, get to it—you’ve done an amazing job! At this point, your little grower is almost busting out of the womb size-wise, which make their restricted attempts to move much challenging. Of course, your stubborn little sucker is still trying to move around as if they weren’t in a cramped space. And the accumulationg baby fat deposits are starting to level off so your little butter ball will be padded and warm when they head out of their super snug little home.
