35 weeks

It is starting to set in that in a few short weeks, we'll be a family of four! Last week, Rob brought up boxes of baby clothes from the basement and I sorted through them and washed the tiniest little t shirts and sleepers. It's hard to believe that Jack used to fit into them. I have a long list of things to do before the baby arrives...mostly involving laundry, organizing and cleaning (nesting anyone?), but I've also been working on a DIY crib bumper and I am planning on making a crib skirt too. The bumper is almost done and once it is, I'll share some pictures.

Over the past few weeks, I've been having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions, which I don't remember having with Jack (I've read it's normal to have more of them with second pregnancies). It's crazy how rock hard my belly gets when I have one. I've been feeling great though, just a little more tired than usual. I didn't gain any weight over the last two weeks, which doesn't make a lot of sense considering I eat a huge bowl of ice cream (with chocolate syrup) every night around 9 o'clock! (I love not feeling guilty about that at all!) I'm up to 15 pounds total...the doctor reassured me not to worry about my slow weight gain. So I am not going to, and I am going to enjoy my evening ice cream even more.
