35 Weeks - 5 Weeks To Go!

I am 35 weeks pregnant! I only have 5 more weeks! It is so crazy.

Alden should be weighing in around 5 1/4 pounds and 18 to 20 inches in length. His basic physical development is complete, now he is just gaining weight each week. It makes me feel much better knowing that if he was born today, he would most likely be okay. He isn't "Kicking" as much anymore. I get a foot or knee sticking out of my side or in my rib every once in a while, and he adjusts his body more, but no more karate kicks.

I am still having Braxton Hicks contractions. Surprising! They are still mostly in the evenings after a day of doing lots. I am completely exhausted and uncomfortable. I'm not sleeping at night anymore. My hormones, I think, I switching. I am more emotional this week. It might be from being uncomfortable and tired, but tears are showing up more often.

We were supposed to have our ultrasound and 34 week appointment last week, but we were snowed in, so this Wednesday at 1:30 PM we are going to our ultrasound and a 35 week appointment. Then, we are starting to go to the doctor every week from now on. It is coming quickly!! I can't wait for my little bundle of joy to be here. Lyndon is getting excited and can't wait!!

Until next week,

Lyndon, Stacy and Alden
