35 Weeks!

...and 34 days to go. WHAA. Im dying at how fast these past few weeks have flown. I had a BIG growth spurt and I hear these last few weeks he just about doubles in size so I'm a little nervous at the changes my body will go through in this next little while ha. Things are going well though and we are just keepin busy getting ready for this little guy to come. I've finally finished most of the blankets I wanted to make which is a big relief and I'm pretty happy how they turned out!


I still need to make one more using these two fabrics...


...and then we should be pretty set on blankets since I have some more that my mom gave me. I also made this SUPER easy nursing cover that I love. I'm not a huge fan of normal nursing covers because they dont have a back to them, so if you have a shirt that you have to pull up you're pretty much showing your back to everyone in the room. So, I turned to pinterest and found this awesome tutorial, bought some fabric for $4.00 and made this beauty!

I don't know why stores don't make more like this. They seem so much more practical and they are surprisingly cute for just being a big piece of knit fabric. It seriously took ten minutes and is really easy. Here is the tutorial for anyone who is interested:

Until Wednesday, I'll be done with sewing projects because Im waiting for my carseat cover fabric and rocking chair slip cover fabric to get here in the mail. I found an awesome sale on ALL premier print fabrics (ilovethem.) so I bought both fabrics from then. I'll post next week on how those projects are going! Anyways, as far as the pregnancy is going, things are....well. Just well. Not terrible, not great. I definitely don't think I'll be sad to not be pregnant anymore. Anywho, heres a little update.



Haha I thought this was a funny view

Ready to POP

How far along? 35 weeks
Total weight gain: 22 lbs
Maternity clothes? Seriously? 
Stretch marks? None on the belly. Five more weeks to go, I can do it!!
Sleep: Between the potty breaks and racing mind I haven't been getting great sleep. I wake up and usually feel like I just got hit by a train. And its only gonna be down hill from here...
Best moment this week: Just savoring these last few weeks with my hubs. Its so weird that it won't be just us anymore! But we're excited for the change.
Miss Anything? Sleeping through the night with out b-room breaks. Rolling over. Standing up without assistance. oh and fitting into my clothes.
Movement: Yes. I wouldn't call them pleasant movements. More like elbow jabs which is really comfortable when I'm trying to sleep.
Food cravings: Water. Water. Water. I can't get enough. I know I'm dehydrated but its hard to keep on top of it and drink as much as I need!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Thankfully no.
Gender: baby boy
Labor Signs: Occasional braxton hicks 
Symptoms: back pain
Belly Button in or out? In!
Looking forward to: 35 week midwife appt. on Tuesday! Hopefully they will check me even though I doubt Im dilated to anything. But ya never know!
