All things lovely: 35 Weeks 4 days

Hiya! I thought I would do a little update to let everyone know how bump is doing. Well first of all, he is a still a bump. No sign of baby yet! They took out my cerclage at the hospital last Friday and I was told to expect a baby by Monday at the latest. Actually my doc said I would sneeze and he would come out {I WISH!! haha}. I was really excited as he is a good size now and if he is born soon it will clear Halloween Oct 31st, our birthday Nov 3rd and the house move Nov 14th. Of course, as it it always goes, when he is finally ALLOWED to come out...he doesn't. I think this is punishment for stopping him at 20 weeks and 26 weeks ;) I was booked back at the hospital on Sunday but they noted no changes from Friday.

I had another doctors appt yesterday and I am still 1 cm dilated {which I have been all weekend}. The top of the cervix is much more dilated though and his head is low. The OB is honestly amazed he is still holding on and even emailed a few doctors I have worked with over the pregnancy to let them know the "shocking" news. She is working the night shift tonight at the hospital, so told him to come then so she can deliver him :)

Anyways, I guess we will just see how long this little pumpkin holds on for. I honestly feel as if I will still be pregnant at Christmas but I know that he has to come in at least four weeks. So either way, its close!

How far along? 35 weeks 4 days

Total weight gain: 16 lbs

Maternity clothes? Nothing new considering I am told every other week he is on his way.

Stretch marks? I think that one is developing on my tummy. Right now it looks like a little purple vein but i'm pretty sure it's the start of a stretch mark. Wah.

Sleep: Good :)

Best moment this week: Getting my cerclage out!! First of all I have been dreading the procedure of removal and secondly, it was so painful by the end of it, I was worried it would rip through. That would have mean't no more babies...So I am glad it is gone now!

Miss anything? Not feeling uncomfortable when I eat. I get full soooo easily now! Having a baby of this size CONSTANTLY makes you feel as if you ate for a small village even when you have only touched a quarter of your plate. I guess there is not alot of room in there??

Food cravings: Not really

Anything making you queasy or sick? Onions and garlic

Gender: Little boy :)

Labour signs: Sadly, no.

Belly button in or out? In!

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy BUT very ready to meet this little thing.

Looking forward to: Using the new stroller my parents got me with an actual baby...instead of pushing around the cats haha.
