how far along? | 35 weeks 

due date: january 14, 2016

baby’s size | baby is the size of a coconut and is around 4.2-5.8 lbs and 17.2-18.7 inches long 

gender | a baby boy! 

feeling |  now that the gout in my foot is bearable – all is good again. whew. thank you all again for the love and prayers. only about 15% of the pain is currently there- which i can totally handle. i would never wish this on anyone. it was an awful, terrible, real pain. i am so happy now and am feeling great. i have a lot of braxton hicks, some heartburn and get tired at night {even though i want to keep going} my body tells me ‘no.’ despite wobbling around, we were able to get so much accomplished this week, which makes me feel better about welcoming baby boy. we attended numerous classes {transition to motherhood, infant cpr, taking care of baby, breastfeeding, labor & delivery and have a labor support class and a hospital tour coming up} we also organized lots of his things last weekend, found a child care center we love {for lots of reasons}, lined up a very highly recommended pediatrician, the car seat is installed in our jeep, our friends loaned us their beautiful bassinet, and i started to pack the hospital bags. all of these things were not done a week ago so that feeling is wonderful~ knowing these are now checked off. 

movement |  he’s a mover and a shaker but also loves to sleep for long periods of time {sounds like his momma} 

sleep |  still crashing around 11 every night. 


miss anything | hot yoga and my family – my sibs are my best friends and sent me these photos this week… they both work at lululemon {this company is fabulous to their employees- i love their philosophy and am so glad that they both get to experience their inspirational atmosphere} this was after a class they took together. they are going to make the best auntie jess and uncle al – i love them so much and am so proud of both of them. namaste, loves. 

cravings | citrus is my true love 

fun facts | my uterus has grown 1,000 times its original size {for real.} and baby’s hearing should be fully developed; responding best to high pitched sounds. 

how’s dad? | he helped me BEYOND WORDS this week. and although he’s a great support system, the man needs some swaddling practice before baby comes… lol. he’s going to ‘daddy boot camp’ saturday so maybe that will give him some pointers 🙂  he tries and that’s all that matters. 

best moment of the week| getting relief in my foot tuesday- best.feeling.ever. decorating our house for the holidays was a close second ♥
