Weekly Update

How far along? 35 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Up 28 per last Dr. Appointment. (yeah I didn't gain at the last appointment..the first time for me..I am SURE I gained this time though.
Sleep: Sleeping pretty good most nights. It does help that Sandro gives me a massages in my achy parts. (Feet, back, shoulders, tummy) He just ask what needs massaging today.
Best moment this week: The terrific shower(s) that where given to me. I feel so loved.
Movement: She moves around like crazy. Sometimes it sorta hurts and she is now in different parts of the body that I didn't think was possible.
Food cravings: No overwhelming cravings. I am looking forward to when I can eat as much pizza as I want without getting sick to my stomach.
Labor Signs: Nope..(5 more weeks)
What I miss: For everyone not to think that I am crippled and can't do what normal people do. Yeah I may be get tired but I can walk and do things I did before I was pregnant. Just not as quick.
What I am looking forward to: Being completely done with the nursery. I still have a few remaining things to purchase and some wall decorating to do.
Weekly Wisdom: Talk to your significant other about how you are doing and don't hold back just because you are trying so spare their feelings. Not communicating just makes it difficult for all those involved.
Milestones: One more week until being full term. From what I read all baby is doing now is gaining weight. Gain baby...gain baby...(just don't gain to much you here)

I think I am getting into the difficult stage of pregnancy being in the home stretch and all. Each day I am noticing a new issue with my body and I am just not feeling pretty anymore. When I was overweight I never really had any aches and pains so this is all a new experience for me. I can list my laundry list of complaints but I find that it doesn't really help at all. Lets just say I have to keep reminding myself that babygirl is just renting me out at the moment and will be vacating soon. Just have to pushing through and not let these things get to me. Sandro is trying desperately to make sure I feel pretty and make me feel loved so I just need to keep as positive as I can during this last month.

This weekend the shower was amazing that my SIL and MIL hosted for me. I had so many friends, family and coworkers come out and enjoy Croatian home style cooking. I haven't laughed and smiled that much in weeks. It was a full house and I am so thank full that so many people have so much love for babygirl. For a minute there I felt all my aliments disappear. I really appreciate all the love I felt and it was truly unforgettable for me.

Unfortunately my Stepmother Norma and Dad couldn't make it to the shower. But they did send me some amazing quilts all hand crafted by Norma herself. They where beautiful! Quilt # 2..She even put made especially for babyjuric on each of them. It was so cute.
Quilt #3 .. I can switch these out. They are so amazingly cute.
I think this bag holds all the quilts. It's really pretty as well.

She also made a tun of burp clothes that will come in real handy. Love them. New quilt on crib...with mobile. (Still have a ton of work to do in the room I feel like)
