35 weeks...& photos of nursery!

I think I'm going to start doing weekly updates as it's getting closer now. My next appointment is June 8th and I believe after that I'll have weekly appointments, so I'll potentially have more info to update with.

Ok, so...35 week photo. Mirror shot this time (and since it's a mirror shot, I flipped it).

Yep...ALL belly! (Really, I'm basically 35.5 weeks...)

Size of baby: According to the web, about 18 inches and about 6lbs, give or take. I always measure in the normal range...at every appointment. So no, I don't know if he's gonna be a big baby.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: You know, I think I might skip this category from now on. My OB always says I'm in the normal range, so I might stop trying to keep track of it.

Movement: He's active off and on. I have to confess that movement is the #1 thing I worry about, so I could use prayer in that department. It's so hard not to worry about it and obsess about whether or not he's moving enough! I feel lots of stretching...mostly pushing into my ribs.

Sleep: Still not a huge issue, but it's no cake walk either. I have to sleep on the couch now. Sleeping on my side = waking up with bad hip pain. So I sleep sort of in a reclined position, propped up with a bunch of pillows.

Symptoms: Here goes...heartburn, back pain, joint pain in general, Charlie horses, cramps in the arches of my feet, still some fatigue, moodiness, pelvic pressure, tail-bone hurts, and now nausea (to name the non-TMI ones). Seems like a mild form of that first trimester morning sickness is back. Nesting has kicked in, but I don't think I'll really be able to do too much until school is out (June 15th). I'm not as tired as I used to be, but I'm still pretty wiped out by the time I get home from work.

Baby's position: Head down. I think he might be posterior (his back is facing my spine)...which could mean back labor.
  

Best Moment this week: Yesterday for Memorial Day, we had a cookout with Sean's dad, siblings + their significant others, and our 3 year old nephew. After eating, Roan was moving a ton, specifically on the right side of my tummy. So I had Sean put his hand there and he felt him move :) That's the 2nd time this whole pregnancy! Usually whenever Sean tries to feel him, Roan gets shy & stops moving. I love it when Sean can feel him :)

Aaaaand nursery photos!

I know a lot of people participated in painting the letters at my shower, so I thought they would want to see them in the room :) I didn't have enough room for his middle name on the shelves. I still have those letters in the closet cause they could still be used in the future. 

Soon we'll have a hamper next to the dresser/changing table...once I get around to ordering it. 

I made the artwork above the changing table. I copied things I liked online. Way cheaper than buying prints off Etsy! The one on the far left says "I am a child of God" and the blue one is a big bird + a baby bird and it says "Mon petit" - translation: My little one.

His closet :) All his clothes are in the dresser...and there's still plenty of room in there! It's quite a spacious dresser.

The clock doesn't have batteries in it yet. I might wait till he comes home to do that...don't want to waste the batteries now. 

My mom bought this for my nursery when I was a baby :) Now it's in Roan's nursery and hopefully someday it will be in our grandchild's nursery.

That's it for week 35!
