Week 35

Week 35.  What can I say about this week expect that it was BUSY!  Our days were filled with taking Ariel to a vet specialist to schedule her surgery (which is this week), going to Meet/Greets to find a pediatrician, car maintenance, etc...  Our evenings this past week were filled with some fun things.  We had two dinners scheduled with two awesome couples we know!  I feel truly blessed in the friends area lately and these couples are some dear friends of ours!  It really meant a lot to me that they reached out to us and wanted to go to dinner with us!  It is nice to get away and have some adult conversation/fun!  We truly need that sometimes to bring us down to earth and remind us that life does not have to be full of stress!  I am not sure our friends knew how much we appreciated them but we sure do!
So on the bright side of all our craziness, we did go through with the option to move to a bigger place in the same complex we live in currently.  I know it is crazy but we decided it best to move now and take advantage of the more space we need!  So this coming week will be moving week and please pray that it goes as smooth as possible for us :)


View from our new place:

How Far Along? - 35 weeks  

Size of our BP - about 5 1/2 lbs and 18 inches long!

Maternity clothes - wishing I had more comfy clothes to sleep in! 

Gender - baby girl 

Sleep - still good as long as I can sleep through the night!

Food cravings - nothing out of the ordinary this week!   

What I miss -  my feet looking normal!

Symptoms - heartburn, swollen feet/ankles/calves, braxton hicks contractions (all the same)

Belly Button - still an innie and I am pretty determined to stay that way! Also can still see my toes!

Best Moment This Week - Had my last baby shower this past weekend and it turned a lot better than I was anticipating!  What helped the most is that I asked my husband to stick around and be there the whole time!  He is much better in a social situation like that than I am!  He also helps me relax and enjoy the moment!  It was nice to be surrounded by family and friends, of course there was a ton of good food there  :)
