Sooo hot.

How far along?: 35 weeks, 0 days.
Total weight gain/loss: +1.5 lbs this week, so +24.5 lbs total.
Maternity clothes?: So, very little of my clothing fits now. And I'm talking maternity clothes. I'm down to about 4 dresses and half a dozen tank tops (but those are slowly creeping up the belly) that fit. In an attempt to not look like white trash with my belly hanging out below my shirt, I may have to invest in 2 or 3 more tank tops to get me through this last month. (Yes, more tank tops. Just the thought of wearing sleeves, even short ones, makes me sweat.) 
Sleep:  :(
Movement: Rolling, rolling, & more rolling. In a semi-painful way for me.
Labor Signs: Lots of pelvic pressure. Lots. Does this mean the baby's dropping? Eh, I'm not convinced. Also a fair amount of BH contractions.
Food/Cravings: If that whole "you crave sweet if you're having a girl, salty if it's a boy" thing is legit, there will be another little lady in the family soon :)
Gender: I think we have names locked in. Yay! And I love them both so much that I don't even care what pops out!
New w/pregnancy #2: ...
What I miss: Being cool. (In a damn-it's-hot-outside kind of way. I've never been cool in a people-wish-they-were-me kind of way.)
What I am looking forward to: September. There will definitely be 2 Reeder kids in this house in September. Maybe not by the 1st, but surely by the 30th. (Oh my god, can you imagine if I stayed pregnant until the 30th? ::shuddering at the thought of an extra 4 weeks::)
Best moment this week: Naming this baby! So, so excited...can you tell? It really has given me a second wind for the pregnancy. Being able to put a name (well, technically 2 names) to this little thing that's bouncing around in there makes him/her so much more real.
Weekly Wisdom: Pregnant women really do melt. On a similar note, it's ridiculously hot out.
Milestones: 35/35, kids! 35 weeks down, 35 days to go. For some reason, "5 weeks" seems like a lot less time to me than "35 days". But really, no matter how you say it, it's really not too long now :)

(Nope, this isn't deja vu. Pretty much looks identical to the 33 week pic.)
