35 Week Bumpdate!

This is not the most recent photo, it was taken on Family day (About three weeks ago now) and photo credit goes to my talented sister Jessica Bakker (Jessy Bakker Photography)

Development

  Her kidneys are fully developed now, and her liver can process some waste products. Most of her basic physical development is now complete — she'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

Size

 This little girl doesn't have much room to maneuver now that she's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (about the size of a honeydew melon). Because she's so snug in your womb, she isn't doing somersaults anymore, but continues to kick away!

 

Weight Gain

 I might just skip this part this week! My increased appetite and lack of exercise may be making me gain a little faster then I should!

 

Symptoms

More swelling/water retention (which could be why I'm gaining more weight.. my body is holding onto way too much water making my hands, feet, and face swell!) 

 

I'm Craving

 I haven't had my doritos in a few weeks.. still craving them though!

 

I'm Avoiding

All the wonderful baked goodies I made with my sister and good friend over the weekend! Especially the delicious fudge! 

 

Good Things This Week

Always things to be thankful for! I had a good weekend with family, and have been productive with making new crocheted patterns! (As you can see with my previous post!)

 

Not So Good Things This Week

I've been having a headache stay in the background almost all week, and I've been constantly tired!

 

Looking Forward To

This weekend I'm both attending a wedding shower for a good friend, and my sister and mom are hosting a baby shower for me! I'm really excited for both!
