35 Weeks

the hits to the body just keep coming....some tough days this week!  Worked on my laptop from bed on Wed, feeling muy, muy uncomfortable....swore I was going to go into labor that night.  Jay being the smart man that he is asked if I already had a bag packed.  But of course,  my bags have been packed for my luxury 'C' cruise for a couple months now.....because I prepared for the worst, assuming I would deliver early.  Thankfully that has not been the case and we have ourselves  a Klingon, who seems pretty content w/ his tight quarters.    Today is Thursday and I  have not ventured outside of the house the last 2 days, because I don't feel I can do it...sad  :(    I'm passing the torch to Jay...to walk the dogs, figure out food, etc.
Though I guess I should mention, on the positive side of things, I have not developed the 'pregnancy mask' (melasma) and my hair is as thick as a horses mane...I NEVER lose hair in the shower.  Of course, all good things come to an end and I am prepared for the mass fallout that will come after baby has left the building, via postpartum alopecia.

How lovely:
A note to new moms with long hair: Strands of hair can end up tightly wrapped around your baby's tiny appendages, including his fingers, toes, wrists, ankles, and penis. This is called a hair tourniquet, and it can be quite painful for your little one. If you find him crying for no apparent reason, check carefully for tight bands of hair.  This still would not give me clearance from the hubs to cut my hair short.

Weighed in at 158 w/ the doctor this week....Jay better watch out, I'm catching up to him.  Things still look good, had  Group B Strep test done at this visit...guess I will soon learn if this is on my skin or not.
Need to find a cute baby memory book for those first foot/hand prints  :)

Picture was taken on Monday, before I felt too heinous to move or walk around much.  Least we forget, I am not the only one who is tired, this pregnancy has really tuckered Bohde and Brie out too!
