Baby Bennett Update! {+ Maternity Photos!}

Baby Bennett Update

35 Weeks!

How far along? 35 Weeks. Starting the count down {if he is on time} 35 Days!

Total weight gain: Honestly have no clue! If I had to guess I'd say.. 30lbs.

Maternity clothes? Some regular and some maternity. I love dresses!

Stretch marks? One for now.

Sleep: I sleep and I've been sleeping great! Go to bed around 9 and I wake up at 5:30 wide awake! Then come 9:30am and I'm ready to take a nap again. About 5 pm... get out of my way because I'm doing everything I have to do as fast as I can so that I can get to that couch and heating pad!

Best moment this week: Taking time to be still and feel all of Bennett's kicks and punches and stretches. Just really soaking in what it feels like to have him squirming around, because before I know it I will be chasing him around the house!

Miss anything? Shopping for 'me' clothes. And having that huge wardrobe that I always complained about because I 'didn't have anything to wear'. 

Movement: All the time! He's an active one.

Food cravings: I scream, you scream.. Bennett screams for ice cream!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Dried pork chop.

Gender: Boy!

Labor Signs: None yet.

Symptoms: Back pain and exhaustion. Lots of it.

Belly Button in or out? It's just flat! Not really in or out.

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: STRESSED OUT.

Looking forward to: Baby shower in two days!!!!

Other Bennett Updates:

Nesting. I hate it. Don't dare send me to Hobby Lobby until after Bennett gets here. There is no self control. I also am not a fan of nesting, because even when I am dead tired I get these crazy bursts of energy to clean or do chores and then I end of even more exhausted when the burst of energy is over. CRAZY. 

My to-do list is growing and nothing is getting checked off. By the time I get home, cook dinner, do whatever chores need to be done, it's 8:00! I'm so slow these days, which is so not like me. Very frustrating. And by 8:00 my mind is completely shut down.
I also can guarantee you that Brandon wishes I would get off pinterest and quit making his to do list grow...

I did just get some nursery artwork ordered from Holly Winchell Creative -Check! :)

I finally got in my nursing cover that I ordered from Udder Covers

And the baby sling I ordered from Seven Slings

I had free coupons for each! I had to pay shipping & handling and pay for the monogramming, but I got them at a great price regardless! Mom already bought me a nursing cover, but I figured it would be nice to have an extra to keep in the diaper bag when I'm out and about!
