Pregnancy: 35 Weeks Bump Update

This week we got to see our baby on ultrasound and for the very first time, he was not shy and we got the most beautiful photos of him. We even saw a video of him sticking his tongue out and caught an image of that. We were also told that we had the chance to induce a little early if we wanted so now we decide. I cannot wait to meet him.

How far along? 35 weeks

Baby size: Honeydew melon

Total weight gain: 32lbs – 160lbs total weight

Maternity clothes? Yes! For the most part. Its hard to wear normal jackets now that its winter lol.

Stretch marks? None that I can see but I never got them before.

Sleep: I dont know if I am still adjusting to the time change from Hawaii but I am SO TIRED this week. I feel like I should be nesting but I am just way too sleepy.

Workouts: Going steady and well!

Diet: I have been loving some cereals and oranges this week. Last week it was all abou the Hawaii pancakes.

Best moment this week: Seeing little man on ultrasound sticking his tongue out and looking so cute. We got THE BEST ultrasound images. We were also told that we could be induced early… such a big choice. He is weighing around 6lbs and I think he has dropped because I can finally breathe.

Miss anything? Being comfortable LOL.

Food cravings: Not much at all. Fruits. Baby food puree lol.

Anything making you queasy or sick? No but I have been feeling a tad bit nauseated this week.

Gender: a BOY! 🙂

Labour signs: No!

Symptoms: Lots of heartburn but we saw on ultrasound that baby has SO MUCH hair. Rib pain. I think I can breathe better though. I get full easily.

Belly button in or out? In! It never popped out the last 2 times.

Wedding rings on or off: On

Notes:

I found out I was pregnant at just 3 weeks of pregnancy after we did our frozen embryo transfer. If you haven’t followed my IVF journey, check out my frozen embryo transfer blog and my egg retrieval blog. Long story short, my husband was infertile due to the structure of his reproductive system-his vas deferens were missing so IVF was the only way and it worked the first try!

I have not been pregnant in 8 years almost so it is wild that I am doing it all over again and hope to do it only fourth and final time in another two-three years. Wish us luck and love! I will be doing these pregnancy progression bump updates weekly so you can “grow” with me along with a bump photo + questions about my pregnancy.
