35/35.

How far along?: 35 weeks, 0 days
Total weight gain/loss: Oh, like it matters.
Sleep: Still going strong.
Movement: All day long. And none of them are cute and gentle. It's all huge movements and giant kicks. My ribs are starting to take a beating.
Labor Signs: Lots of contractions this week. And the pelvic pressure has really kicked in as well. After 90 minutes of walking around the outlets with the husband yesterday, I was experiencing very sharp pains that were stopping me in my tracks. I'm pretty sure that was my wake-up call - I can't keep moving like I have been... 
Food cravings: Cereal. It has moved into serious craving status. 2-3 bowls a day. There are about 5 or 6 kinds that I rotate between, but Special K Cinnamon Pecan seems to be the big winner most days.
Gender: I'm torn now. This pregnancy is so similar to Brooke's, but at the same time, I can't help but think it's a boy.
New w/pregnancy #3: I've hit the D-O-N-E point in this pregnancy, which is just a tad bit sooner than #2 and much sooner than #1. I had to browse previous blog posts to figure this out & was quite surprised actually. I really didn't like Joe's pregnancy; it was really painful and uncomfortable and I found myself not enjoying being pregnant at all (I had morning sickness forever with him & then the back pain started much earlier, too.) I haven't felt that way this time around; I've actually been enjoying it overall (I strongly believe that all of this sleep I'm getting is the main reason). But I am reeeeeally uncomfortable & it's really difficult to take care of 2 young kids being this pregnant. So I'm done. These 5 weeks can't go fast enough (on that note, feel free to come up with ways to distract me so time goes by faster!)
What I miss: Wine.
What I am looking forward to: Working out. I know, hilarious. But I was in a good groove with running just before getting pregnant. I mean, I ran a 10K about 37 weeks ago; now, at 35 weeks pregnant, I can barely stand up. I'm so ready to get back into shape.
Best moment this week: Joe was laying on my belly at one point this week & got kicked by the baby. He thought it was so funny - "the baby kicked me in da face!" After that, he tried to get the baby to kick him in the face multiple times throughout the week. I certainly didn't mind the belly snuggles :) 
Milestones: 35 weeks down & only 35 days to go!!
