Baby News - 35 Weeks

I am now 35 weeks along and am definitely feeling ready to be done with this pregnancy business. The baby weighs approximately 5 1/4 pounds and is over 18 inches long! I am feeling the extra weight and it doesn't feel like it is possible for him to get any bigger or I might explode! But besides the aches and pains, we are really really excited!!! Just 5 more weeks until we get to meet our little man! I have been craving tuna fish again.... not sure what's up with that. Maybe I'm not eating enough protein? The new craving though has been chocolate. I always want chocolate and sadly for my waist line, I have been eating a lot of it. Work has become very difficult now that I am getting bigger and it is putting a huge strain on my back and poor swollen legs.

This was the baby bump at 32 weeks on our Anniversary Getaway.
It's hard to see the bump since I am wearing black, but this is the best most recent picture I have (34 weeks at my baby shower with my best friend Jura).
We have been working hard and saving up money for our house and new baby that should both be coming around the exact same time this summer! It will be so nice to have our own place again and we can't wait to finally have the ability to set up the baby's bedroom!

The baby moves around like crazy now-a-days and I have loved it....except when he decides to reach up into my ribs and start hitting things.... I think I liked it better when he was lower because the expansion of my ribcage has not been a fun feeling.

Sometimes the baby moves around so much at night that it has even woke Josh up! Josh has been such a sweet heart through everything and I love him so much. At night he curls up to me and puts his face by my belly and that's how we've been falling asleep. I love my boys so much already and I haven't even officially met one of them!
