35 weeks--one month to go!

How far along? 35w2d
Total weight gain/loss: +45lbs--holy smokes, I'm getting so big!
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Yes, I've been sleeping pretty well actually. The secret is to fall asleep before Chris...either on the couch or go to bed earlier--> certainly not hard to do anymore!
Best moment this week: Work baby shower!
Movement: Yes--she's doing a lot of rolling
Food cravings: nothing in particular
Labor Signs: Starting to notice some more BH and occasionally menstrual like cramps when I get up from sitting or laying down. Not sure if those are "labor signs" but they are there.
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Aside from my family, nothing really
What I am looking forward to: definitely the 3 day weekend, my doc appt tomorrow, getting my hair done on Saturday, working more on my to-do list, my birthday, June ;)
Milestones: Started packing hospital bag, picked out coming home outfits for baby, started labor playlists

I'm just trucking right along with my apparently ginormous belly. People think I'm going to go into labor at any minute...you should see the look of horror on their faces when I say that I'm due June 23rd. It's like they are afraid of how much bigger I'm going to get. So super annoying.

In one of my daily chats with my mom, she told me that my aunt (her sister) had found pictures of when my mom was pregnant with me. My mom has barely any pictures of this time period b/c she really didn't like the way she looked. Thankfully though, she sent a bunch of pictures to her family in Croatia. After seeing my shower pictures they said that I look and am carrying exactly like my mom was when she was pregnant with me. I love that.

So I just found out my tentative IVF # 2 schedule. It looks like we will be doing to Embryo Transfer right around the time your baby will be born!!!

So Cool!
