Week 35
Baby H is the size of a Coconut.

Sometimes I can't believe it is possible for my belly to get any bigger, and then it does! 

Max is the size of a large coconut!

Out and about on Sunday morning :-)

Look at these adorable shoes!

Our magnetic scrabble tiles got an update for the shower :-)

Seriously? All that is for us?!

This handmade sign is the perfect match for Max's room!

The spread-

Baby cakes!

How far along? 35 Weeks

Maternity clothes: Barely fit. As in three pairs of my maternity pants no longer work, and some of my maternity tops have become too short. Dresses that used to be an appropriate length for work (i.e. knee length) would now make A-list celebrities blush. It's maxi skirts and leggings from here on out...

Sleep: All I dream about is my pre-k class. I want to dream about Max, but I guess my day-to-day activities at school are more ingrained in my psyche than motherhood- for now. Between work and dreaming about my class, I feel like I'm doing a sixteen hour work day. Hopefully I will manage to get some rest before Mr. Max is born!

Best moment this week: My work shower!

 Our school's Sunshine Committee threw me a shower this Tuesday and it was absolutely lovely. Little Max and I were completely spoiled! The teachers got together and brought in a spread of treats, including these sweet fall cupcakes and a chocolate mini cake (which was absolutely delicious...in fact I may need to have the last piece for dessert tonight...). As you can see from the present table, the ladies of my school are an incredibly generous lot! I think it's safe to say that we are very well prepared for Max's arrival! Thank you everyone!

Miss Anything? Queso, and every other kind of cheese I've been avoiding this whole pregnancy. 

Movement: Max still loves moving all around. It's so reassuring to feel him in there. We still talk and/or read to him everyday, and I love feeling him move in response to our voices and touch.

Food cravings: Blueberry pancakes, pumpkin everything, candy corn (don't judge!)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.

Gender: Gentleman

Labor Signs: More Braxton Hicks. They've been getting more frequent and I am constantly wondering if they will turn into actual labor, even though we have 4 more weeks to go!

Symptoms: Fatigue, Braxton Hicks, back ache, restless sleep, increased hunger and thirst, occasional discomfort, and difficulty moving without feeling like I'm squishing Max 

Belly Button in or out? o - actual size. Isn't it supposed to be an outie by now? 

Wedding rings on or off? On for now. I hope my fingers don't swell so much that I have to stop wearing this ring too :-(

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and in love! 

Looking forward to: Maternity leave- I just had my last day at work yesterday! Time to relax and finish off that last grad course before Max comes!
