smuggling basketballs

35 weeks along, just a few weeks to go! my husband said it looks like i am smuggling a basketball-- he's so nice. maybe a few basketballs-- this belly is getting BIG!

how far along? 35 weeks

weight gain? ugh. 35lbs. i can hardly believe it. it's not like i'm packing in Big Macs and french fries. oh well, what do you do? just keep exercising and try to make good food choices and hope it's all water weight, ha!

maternity clothes? absolutely. it's getting a little boring. i still wear "normal" clothes to exercise and for sleeping, but pretty much living in maternity jeans and the same few favorite shirts. thank goodness for accessories!

stretch marks? no, thankfully.

sleep? it's rough. even with my awesome zebra print body pillow, sleep is very uncomfortable these days! my poor husband, i'm sure he's not getting much sleep, either, with all my tossing and turning!

best moment this week? seeing our baby boy on ultrasound and finding out that he is in vertex position (head first), no longer breech! such an answer to prayer!

movement? lots! i love how wiggly this boy is, just like his big brother was!

cravings? not really.

gender? it's a boy!

labor signs? i have had some Braxton Hick's contractions, but nothing regular or painful.

belly button in or out? borderline on an outie, especially by the end of the day. when it pops out, i'm done, right?

what i miss? real exercise. don't get me wrong-- i love our daily walks-- but i am getting excited about working out post-baby and recovery!

what i'm looking forward to? holding sweet Levi!!! less than 33 days!
