35 Week Update

We had our growth scan last week and everything looks perfect with our little man. Definitely no IUGR issues so yay! He is measuring steadily along the 34th percentile and his estimated weight was 5lbs/2.3kg. I think if I go to 40+ weeks he will be a bit bigger than Leo, but still in the 7lb range. I have a feeling he may arrive earlier though :)
His head is measuring a lot bigger, but as Leopold was a big headed babe that does not surprise me in the slightest. Every day that goes by I am getting more and more excited to give birth and meet our beautiful bubba. I definitely need every one of the weeks I have left to get things ready for his arrival, but I am more excited than nervous.

Squishy Bub at 34w4d gestation. Look at those pouty lips!
35w1d
How far along?: 35 weeks
Total weight gain: +6.5kg from pre-pregnancy weight
Maternity clothes?: Not really, still squeezing in to all my normal clothes
Stretch marks?: No new ones surprisingly!
Sleep: It's not always comfy, but I seem to be getting enough
Best moment this week: Our growth scan results being all good and of course seeing Squishy Bub again

Miss Anything?: I miss not being pregnant! I'm still trying to enjoy it, but this is the hard bit now
Movement: I definitely don't experience movements slowing down like a lot of women do at the end of pregnancy, still as strong as ever
Food cravings: Cocoa Pops this week
Anything making you queasy or sick: Early mornings

Gender: Boy
Labour Signs:I get a very "real" contraction every day or so. It's intense and I need to breathe through it, it last about 1.5 minutes and builds to a peak then dies off just like a normal contraction. I have faith it's just my body preparing itself for birth and things are slowly happening
Symptoms: Pelvic issues are still causing me some grief. And my acid reflux/heartburn is awful, but an easier week this week
Belly Button in or out?: Outie all the way!
Engagement ring on or off?: On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Sore, sore and happy
Looking forward to: Wearing my Blackmilk clothing again haha
