35/35!!!!

35 weeks...35 days to go!!! I cannot believe how close we are to meeting little Luca. We are both so excited. I had another biophysical profile yesterday (I am having them twice a week now) and my fluid levels were up to 14! This is a big improvement and I am sure my doctor will be happy. I get to see her again on Wednesday. Luca is still a little peanut. He is weighing in at about 5lbs right now, and he is in the 25th percentile. He has been very active in the last 24 hours, and it is the best feeling in the world.
Now that I am out of school, having all this extra time on my hands makes the waiting really drag on. I have tried to keep myself busy by spending time at the pool with friends, cleaning, organizing, and next week I am going to go into school a few days and clean up my room a little.

And since it has been awhile...the pregnancy survey:

•How far along?: 35 weeks!

•Total weight gain: I don't know if I want to divulge this information anymore. Let's just say I think I surpassed the recommended weight gain...

•How big is baby?: The size of a honeydew!

•Maternity clothes?: I have reached the point where I am wearing mostly Santi's clothes around the house. And I hit the pool shamelessly in my bikini letting it all hang out:)

 
•Movement: He has been doing a lot more rolling and stretching now. It is clear that he is running out of space. 

•Stretch marks?: Yep...but not on my stomach. 

•Sleep?: Sadly I think I will be sleeping in the recliner for the next 5 weeks. I cannot get comfortable in bed anymore. I can't breathe, I have a pinched nerve in my back, and rolling over is torture. Poor Santi, he just follows me out to the living room...

•Symptoms?: Last night I woke up with serious nausea and heartburn...I hope that's not a sign of what the last 5 weeks will entail. 

•Food cravings: Vitamin Water lemonade, and because of my low fluids water, water, and more water. I also made some delicious brownies the other day. 

•Belly button in or out?: It's officially out.

•What I miss: Being able to sleep in my bed:(

•What I'm looking forward to: Luca's arrival of course! And our 4th anniversary is coming up next Thursday. Santi and I are planning a nice romantic date to The Tortilla Factory in Scottsdale and possibly a comedy club. We figure it will be our last big date night before we are parents! YIKES!!!!

•Best Moment this week: Chilling in the pool, and not having to get up early on Monday morning for work!

•Milestone:  Hmmmmm...I am two weeks away from full term! 35 weeks, 35 days to go!

•Nursery Progress: It's actually pretty much ready! We washed the clothes, blankets, and bedding last weekend. We just need to make the bed and finish organizing. 


I am going to *try* really hard over the next few weeks to do more blogging...I have been slacking lately. I am going to try some new recipes for my 101 in 1,001 so I will try to get some of those on here. I am also still tweeking the layout. I have had somewhat of a mental block lately as far as blogging is concerned.
