35 weeks as of today. Meaning just 1 more week until my baby girl is considered “term” and it would be safe for her to come. yay!!! :) I’m so ready. I keep thinking she’s going to come early, but I’m trying to make myself not think like that since her big brother was 9 days late and we ended up having to induce him! It was miserable expecting him early, and then him coming late!
Baby’s growth – at this point she weighs over/around 5 pounds. Her kidneys and her liver are fully developed, and we are just pretty much waiting on the lungs to finish developing!
Sleep – Having some insomnia unfortunately. My dreams are weird and very vivid and for some reason my body keeps wanting to wake up and stay up at 4 am. all that along with contractions when I lay down is leading to not very restful nights for me : /
Craving – mexican food. always :) also milkshakes…
Discussion Question: What is the must-have item(s) that you pack in your hospital bag? – I learned from last time lanolin is a MUST (if you are planning on nursing anyway). They are supposed to give it to you in the hospital, but it took them a day or two for them to give me any (I don’t know why, I was asking for it!!). This time I am packing my own, that stuff is essential to life for the first few weeks of nursing! :)

Are you due July 24th??? If you were 35 weeks on Tuesday, then we are due at exactly the same time! I’m having a hard time with the “early” thoughts too. I keep thinking maybe, since my other 2 came before the due date, but I’m trying not to let myself think that way. I’m sure if I assume an early delivery, then the little bugger will make sure to come extra late for me, haha. The last few weeks are always sooooo slow though. We’re almost there!!! =o)
futurehope says
yes!! :) july 24th. hoping for EARLY here too though :P
ooooh that’s a good sign that your other babies were early though!!! maybe we will have them both on the same (early!) day hehehe
congrats!!!

Your belly is looking pretty low in the pic! Maybe she will at least come earlier than her brother!!
