35 weeks, 35 days to go

This was one milestone I was excited to get to, 35 weeks pregnant, with 35 days to go (as of Monday the 14th)! I love coincidences like that.

This week I finally gave in and bought more maternity clothes. I was getting so sick of my 2 pairs of jeans and about 4 shirts.  Lucky for me I have a loving sister in Calgary who sent me a gift card to buy myself something at Thyme Maternity!  Well I spent it (about 5 times the amount actually.. it was a big money drop). I bought 2 tops, jeans and finally gave in and bought maternity & nursing bras.  I almost had a freakout when I got measured for the bras, I’m a WHAT?! Mom also made me another maternity top which I love.

I’m also not really sure how really skinny people find maternity clothes. I consider myself an average sized girl and I easily fit into a size small maternity pant. Talk about making a pregnant girl feel good!

Scott and I finally registered this week, as my shower is coming up (January 3rd) and I was dreading having to suggest to people what to buy me. We went with a checklist and Scott made sure that we registered for everything we think we might need (he’s very organized).  We ended up registering at Babies-R-Us, it’s tricky though because who knows what raspberry will actually like. Maybe he (or she) will hate everything… lets hope for an easy baby!

Heartburn has been my enemy lately, waking me up at 3 am feeling horrible, so I take some Gaviscon and struggle to get back to sleep. I’ve been having back pain, but nothing unbearable.  And I’m really starting to have to slow down at the barn, can’t quite climb over gates like I used to be able to.  I took a little fall at work last week on a really icy day, I wasn’t hurt at all but it made me realize I need to be more careful.  BTW only 6 more days of work!  Raspberry has been having little bouts of the hiccups! I think it’s so adorable feeling my stomach pulse in even increments. Plus I love the hiccups so I hope little baby is enjoying them too.

My next doctor’s appointment is on Wednesday (aka today because it’s taking me forever to get this posted), and after that my appointments are weekly.  Wow time flies.
