36 weeks

How far along? 36 weeks 

Total weight gain? 23 pounds

Maternity clothes? Yes. Always

Stretch marks? I have some developing. 

Sleep? Still tossing a turning all night. I have restless legs at night. 

Best moment of this week? I had a dr appt today. The heartbeat was 134

Things I miss? Not having heartburn or restless legs 

Movement? His movements are more dramatic

Cravings? Sweets. 

Showing yet? Definitely. Around 33 weeks I feel he dropped some. 

Gender? Boy! 💙 Weston Hayes

Labor signs? At my appt today I was measuring a week ahead. He is predicting that he's going to be at least 9 pounds. He didn't check me. Going to have a growth scan done next week to predict how big he is. If he's already 7-8 pounds then we are going to schedule an induction at 39 weeks. 

Belly button in or out? It's flat and starting to pop on the top

Looking forward to? Going into labor. And getting to see him next week on the ultrasound

35 weeks

I've been working in this post for weeks now and just haven't taken the time to finish it. 

How far along? 35 weeks 

Total weight gain? 22 pounds

Maternity clothes? Yes. Always

Stretch marks? No. I have a couple red marks where they are potentially starting. 

Sleep? Still tossing a turning all night. Starting to have restless legs at night. 

Best moment of this week? I had a dr appt this week. More on that in a minute

Things I miss? Not having heartburn. Not getting out of breath so easily 

Movement? He's a busy boy. I feel like he stretches from my bladder to my ribs. 

Cravings? Sweets. 

Showing yet? Definitely. Around 33 weeks I feel he dropped some. 

Gender? Boy! 💙 Weston Hayes

Labor signs? At my 35 week appt today I was 2cm dilated with a soft cervix. He said he's still high and hasn't engaged yet. But is not predicting me to make it to even 39 weeks. Yay! So now I'm curious to see if I dilate more within this next week. 

Belly button in or out? It's flat and starting to pop on the top

Looking forward to? Him just being here. 

So my 33 week appt. of course was one I took Kenton to by myself. We had a little scare as Weston's heartbeat was running from 90-110. He decided to hook me up to their monitor which showed I was also having contractions every 4 minutes that I was not feeling. So he decided to send me to OB for monitoring, an ultrasound, and possibly fluids. My MIL came to the rescue and took Kenton to her house. He was so restless after being in the dr office for an hour and a half. Brian later met me at the hospital where they monitored his heart rate, my contractions, and did an ultrasound. By this time his heart rate was back up to 135 range and I was no longer having contractions but maybe 6 an hour. We were released home after about an hour. He went ahead and had me come back at 34 weeks. He found the heartbeat right away and strong at 135. He thought that Weston was in an odd position and possibly had the cord in his hand squeezing it.
