how far along: 35 weeks...only 35 more days until her original due date!!! (only 2 weeks left until she is full-term!)
Madelyn’s size: somewhere between 17.2-18.7 inches, 4.2-5.8 (She weighed 5 lbs. 5 oz. at our appointment last week)… about the size of a coconut
weight gain: 4 pound this week, 33 pounds total (Not that I'd be surprised to gain this much from eating fast food and being on bed rest, but I do think at least a little is due to water retention)
maternity clothes: Yes
stretch marks: None
sleep: Finding it difficult to get comfortable most nights, due to reflux and upper back pain.
best moment this week: Going to our first birthing class. Definitely looking forward to learning a lot the next few weeks!

food cravings: Halloween candy!
symptoms: Terrible reflux/heartburn, Braxton Hicks contractions, edema (probably from the Nifedipine), crazy/out-of-control emotions...thank you pregnancy hormones!
Update: At our appointment Monday my cervical length had increased, from 1.5 cm last week, to 1.9 cm this week! Only about a week until I'm off of bed rest!!!
gender: Precious baby girl!
belly button in or out: Just barely in
movement: She is very active and moves a bunch, which I love, except when it feels like she's punching me under my pelvic bone or head-butting me in the cervix.
what I miss: Being comfortable and not being on bed rest
what I'm looking forward to: Not being on bed rest next week, hopefully making it to full-term, and meeting my baby girl oh so very soon!!!Update: At our appointment Monday my cervical length had increased, from 1.5 cm last week, to 1.9 cm this week! Only about a week until I'm off of bed rest!!!

DeleteAnother week closer to meeting your baby girl. All those horrible symptoms and mood swings will all be worth it. Let's just keep telling ourselves that. You look great btw and I love your costume! Next year we will get to dress up our babies! FUN!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I keep having to remind myself of that, Joanna! I'm just ready for the pay-off...I cannot wait to meet her! I am definitely looking forward to all the fun things we're going to be able to do with Madelyn next year!
