Week 35

35 Weeks: 8/29/2012

How far along? 35 weeks
Maternity clothes?  I'm still wearing them!
Best moment this week:  Nothing beats a good doctor's appointment or two.
Sleep:  My sleep has been pretty good.  It seems like the bathroom breaks might be increasing in frequency, but I can usually fall back to sleep very quickly.
Miss anything? Being in good shape!  Or at least sort of good shape!
Movement: He is moving nicely!
Food cravings:  No cravings, just a hefty appetite.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Labor signs: No way.
Exercise: I am mostly just walking, but I did do the stationary bike at the gym the other day.  I (still) miss really working out.
Happy or moody most of the time:  Happy!
Looking forward to: We are celebrating my mom and sister's birthdays this weekend!  (2 of Baby Fish's hugest fans!)  We should also find out Baby Fish's OFFICIAL c-section date this week!

Week 34

34 Weeks: 8/22/2012

How far along? 34 weeks
Maternity clothes? Still wearing them, of course.  Wondering how long it will be until I don't need them anymore...
Best moment this week: Again, I love a good doctor appointment!
Sleep:  I just realized that I must have accidentally deleted the sleep category.  Sleep has been pretty good.  Aside from waking up to go to the bathroom, I have been sleeping quite well.  I have a body pillow that seems to be working for me.  Occasionally waking up with right leg cramps.  I can't complain though.
Miss anything? Working out.
Movement: He continues to move a lot!  I love that I can pretty much feel him move within a minute any time I want to.
Food cravings:  Nope.  I still eat a lot, but it has been several days since I have needed a midnight snack.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Labor signs: No way.
Exercise: I'm just walking these days.  I miss working out, but less than 3 weeks to go.  (Although I suppose I can't REALLY work out for another 8 weeks after that...sigh)
Happy or moody most of the time:  Happy!
Looking forward to: Meeting our baby boy!!

Week 33

33 Weeks: 8/15/2012

How far along? 33 weeks
Maternity clothes? I've got to get in all the maternity sundress wearing that I can!  Fall is just around the corner and I CANNOT wait!
Best moment this week: I think I could mention the "having a great doctor appointment" for every week since we have weekly ultrasound visits from now on!  So happy that everything is going well!  His bday will likely be September 13!!!  I also should mention that I am having a PERFECT 30th birthday! :)  Farmer's market, sidewalk sales in the Third Ward (found cute deals at Broadway Paper AND Anthropologie), lunch at the Milwaukee Public Market with my dad and hubby, dinner tonight is still to be determined but life is good!
Miss anything? Working out.
Movement: Lots of it!  Some of his kicks are super powerful. :)
Food cravings:  I think the extreme appetite may have subsided a tiny bit, but I still need my midnight snack prevention program.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Labor signs: No way.
Exercise: Just walking these days.  It is finally getting cool enough to walk the dog!
Happy or moody most of the time:  Happy!
Looking forward to: The baby being here in 26 days!

Week 32

32 Weeks: 8/8/2012

How far along? 32 weeks
Maternity clothes? Still wearing them but trying not to buy too many more!  Gotta find something cute for the bump pics we are having taken this weekend!
Best moment this week: Having a great doctor's appointment this week!  Having a good appointment makes my day, week, time to next appointment!
Miss anything? Being in shape, not getting winded taking the stairs at work, decreased lung capacity, etc.  But I'm not complaining!
Movement: Lots and lots of movement and I LOVE it!
Food cravings:  Again, just hungry all the time.  I'm still needing the occasional 4:00am snack and I'm still doing my midnight snack prevention program.  How I haven't gain 100lbs is beyond me.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Labor signs: No, thank you.
Exercise: Just walking these days.  I missed the last 2 weeks of yoga.  They probably think I had the baby!
Happy or moody most of the time:  Happy!
Looking forward to: A baby shower for Baby Fish today! :)  I am also hoping that we pick a c-section date for baby soon! :)

Week 31

31 Weeks: 8/1/2012

How far along? 31 weeks
Maternity clothes? I I invested in one more maternity skirt for work, well, make that a few more things.  (I forgot I ordered some stuff from Gap.)  I am trying not to buy too much more maternity stuff, but being comfortable is just so darn important to me!
Best moment this week: Again, finding out that baby boy is doing well.  We had a biophysical profile and a non-stress test yesterday.  Thankfully he is going to stay put for now!
Miss anything? Running and sleeping through the night.
Movement:  Yes, thankfully.  I wouldn't mind feeling some more though!
Food cravings:  No cravings, I'm still just hungry all the time.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Labor signs: No, and they can stay away.
Exercise: I'm doing less and less it seems.  Yoga once a week!
Happy or moody most of the time:  Worried!  I am happy but I just want this little babe to be healthy!
Looking forward to: My friend Stacy's wedding!  I'm a little nervous to drive 3 hours there and back, but the doc said it was OK as long as I'm feeling OK.

Week 30

30 Weeks: 7/25/2012

How far along? 30 weeks
Maternity clothes? I found a few clearance skirts at Target!  I don't think they are actually maternity and they are not as professional looking as I would have liked, but they are comfortable which is my priority these days!  Now I am thinking I may need more tops as my tummy continues to grow.
Best moment this week: Finding out that Baby Fish is doing well!  I had quite a scare on Tuesday.  He wasn't moving as much as usual, so I ended up going in to the doc and they did a biophysical profile test.  He got an "A+" thankfully!  My amniotic fluid level is a bit high, so that could be the reason I am not feeling as many movements as I would like!
Miss anything? Not really.  I do miss sleeping through the night, I suppose.
Movement:  Yep!  He has perked up a bit since Tuesday and has been moving like crazy!
Food cravings:  No cravings, just hungry often.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Strong odors are not my thing!
Labor signs: No, and I think the Braxton Hicks contractions have decreased.
Exercise: I'm still doing yoga, arm weights, and dog walks!
Looking forward to:  We have another fetal/maternal doc appointment tomorrow, but since we just had an appointment on Tuesday, I'm not too anxious for this one.  SUPER excited for my friends Jen and Tyler's wedding shower this weekend in Lake Geneva!  I haven't seen them in way too long!

Week 29

29 Weeks: 7/18/2012

(**Docs said I would deliver at 39 weeks at the latest!!**)

How far along? 29 weeks
Maternity clothes? Slowly but surely, my clothes are getting a little more snug.  I may need to invest in a new maternity skirt or 2 for work.  I have been wearing a non-maternity skirt with an elastic waist, but even that one is not as comfortable as it use to be.
Best moment this week: I had the most beautiful, thoughtful, and creative baby shower!  It was seriously the cutest shower ever!  My fabulous hostesses (mom, mother in law, sis Anna, cousin Maria, and amazing friend Maggie) planned out every last detail just perfectly. I wish I would have taken some better pics, but I'll try and post a few.  Everything from the food to the decor and of course the company was just perfect!  Not to mention, Baby Fish was spoiled with wonderful gifts!
Miss anything? Working out more intensely.
Movement:  Swimming along nicely. :)
Food cravings:  Just food in general!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  I am getting a little more sensitive to smells again.  Ick.  Easy on the perfume/cologne, people!
Labor signs: No, just those Braxton Hicks contractions.
Exercise: Yoga and arm weights these days.  We also go on walks when it is not too too hot!
Looking forward to:  My friend Amy had her baby today!!  We had yoga last night, and then what do you know, the little man decided to make his debut a month early.  Thankfully mom and baby are doing great!  I got to meet him already too and he is such a sweetheart.   I'm looking forward to Baby Fish meeting him as well!   I'm also excited that we are going to a wedding this weekend!  I hope it isn't too hot since it is going to be outside on the rooftop of the Milwaukee Athletic Club.  It should be fun though!  :)
