35 weeks

35 weeks today, 35 days to go, 14 days til full term.

We have another growth scan today, to check on his .. growth lol. It will be so fun to see him again!

I think I'm officially DONE with enjoying pregnancy. I will hang in there as long as he needs, but not without complaining and whining along the way.

New complaints to add to the old:
No more numb hands when I sleep, replace them with swollen hands.
Tree trunk ankles.. or 'cankles' as they are called.
The feeling like my pelvic bone is about to break in half.
Dull lower back/sciatic/pubic area pain.
A return of a myriad of digestive issues, that I wont go into detail about.
I guess my heartburn was really lonely and needed a friend, now we also have some acid reflux to add to the mix.
Frequent urination has taken on an all new meaning.. I laugh that I used to think I had to go all the time. Every 45 min or less at the moment, and especially at night.
I have to add 'snoring' here, not that it's new, but apparently I'm snoring way louder. This is Jason's complaint, not mine.. but I figured it's new and worth adding.
Braxton Hicks contractions when I have to pee too bad, bend over, stand up from sitting.. though they aren't really a bother.
The feeling of an alien inside my tummy. Gone are the cute little bumps and jabs, now are the bony feet/knee/elbow/hand moving across my belly and it is NOT a good feeling, it actually freaks me out a little.
Constant baby hiccups, but I love that.. it's always a nice little 5 minute reminder that all is well in there.
I can't breathe. No need to expand on that.. my lung capacity has to be minimal at this point. I've become one of those people that have to take a big deep breath after barely doing anything. I feel like I'm trying to breathe on top of Pikes Peak after running a marathon to the summit.
Apparently my rib cage is very flexible, and as cool as that is.. it's as uncomfortable (painful) as it sounds. Nothing like having a little person pushing your ribs out from the inside.. yet another thing that kinda freaks me out.

I better go.. I have to pee.

Hopefully the next 5ish weeks go by fast, mama's getting miserable and grouchy.

See you soon, baby :)
