35 Weeks Pregnant
| | | Just another week as the baby boy gets bigger and heavier and makes it harder to move around. I did get a fever in the beginning of the week, but with Tylenol and lots of fluids, it has gone down. Hopefully, it’s gone for good. The cold still lingers, though. I hate not being able to breathe through my nose. What’s really fun is trying to eat with both nostrils stopped up. And since my lungs also have less space to exist normally, it’s just harder to breathe in general.
In other news, I absolutely HATE Braxton-Hicks contractions, and I officially look like Big Bird.

34 Weeks Pregnant
| | | As of today, I am 34 weeks pregnant. It seems like my uterus and baby went through another growth spurt, as I am getting more kicks in the ribs these days. Little by little, I am letting go of household duties as they become more difficult, and I am asking for help as needed. I’m glad I have most of my organizing done already.
I had my OB appointment today. I now weigh 142.6 pounds, blood pressure is normal. The baby is doing fine; his heart rate is good, and today he is head down.

33 Weeks Pregnant
| | | As of today, I am 33 weeks pregnant. This past week, I’ve been getting tired faster, and it has been harder to wake up in the mornings. I’ve been experiencing more random aches and pains as he continues to grow. Baby has had the hiccups more frequently this week. I know there’s nothing wrong with hiccups, but I don’t like it when he gets them. I think it’s because I don’t like when I get them. Yesterday I attended a breastfeeding class, which was nice, and very informative. As I sat there, I slowly but surely became overwhelmed at just how much work this is going to be (not just breastfeeding, taking care of a baby in general). |
32 Weeks Pregnant
| | | As of yesterday, I am 32 weeks pregnant. I started noticing changes this week. It feels as though baby is getting heavier. When I stand, I feel increased pressure on the bladder and all other organs down there. This, of course, means more frequent trips to the bathroom. Getting up, getting out of the car, and going up stairs takes more work these days. I feel like I’m crossing that line where everything becomes really uncomfortable. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not there yet, I just feel that transition coming. |
31 Weeks Pregnant
| | | As of this past Friday, I am 31 weeks pregnant. I forgot to mention last week that I passed my gestational diabetes test. That’s great news - it means I don’t have to alter my eating or take the 3 hour test!
This week, my baby is kicking even harder and more often, which is very amusing to me. When someone sings to him, it seems like he settles down and listens. We’ll find out if he really likes it or not when he gets out.
