35 Weeks Pregnant - Week by Week Pregnancy Calendar

Approx. 5 weeks left to run this race...the pregnancy race...man it takes alot of patience...patience through the bodily pain...patience through the mental strain...mostly now im just impatient to meet my little Lucy.Even though these last few weeks are flying day,the days seem to creep...its so weird...

These past 2 weeks have been particularly trying,not having my husband around...i lean on him greatly for emotional support,and look forward to his weekends so that i can have a repreive from the stress of being pregnant AND dealing with a two year old wild child.As soon as he goes on his weekend,i feel myself relax and thoroughly enjoy his days off.BUT he worked 5 nights straight,and then left for his sheep hunt almost a week ago...so i havnt seen him for about two weeks now,and the LORD has given me an amazing strength and patience through it all...i have even felt better the last few weeks than i have in months,and i know its the Lord's help in a difficult time.Josh should be home in the next few days,and i can hardly wait.

When he gets home he will be off work for awhile,maybe even until the baby comes,and once she comes he will be home with me for two weeks after...the Lord has been working things out and i THANK HIM for blessing me this way.Its been a long hard summer,and our little family is definetly ready for some relaxation and family time(:

Jenn made me this adorable blanket for Baby lucy,and i just want to share a picture with you all

she did red butterfly stitching around the edges which i thought was an adorable contrast

and this is the back side of it...i just love it(:

This is where im at as of Monday...35 weeks and counting down...ill try to post a new belly shot if i can get someone to take a picture of me this weekend

Gettin pretty cramped in there...shes moving less and less the past few weeks

35 Weeks Pregnant - Week by Week Pregnancy Calendar: "Your Baby in Week 35 of Pregnancy
Your baby is standing tall (so to speak) this week at about 20 inches and continues her steady weight gain (she’s about 5.5 pounds). While she won't get much longer, she will continue to pack on the pounds — including large amounts of baby fat — right up 'til delivery day. Something else that's moving at a mind-boggling pace these day: fetal brain development! There’s a lot going on inside that tiny head, which is, by the way, still soft to allow an easier exit through the birth canal.
Learn more about your baby in week 35 and fetal weight gain.
Your Body in Week 35 of Pregnancy
Now that your baby is head-down in preparation for delivery, chances are your bladder is feeling the squeeze, causing you to leak a little every time you sneeze (or cough or laugh) or making you feel like you have an urgent need to pee all the time. Whatever you do, don’t cut back on fluids! One way to improve your body's holding power instead: Do lots and lots of those pelvic-floor exercises called Kegels. They can help strengthen your pelvic muscles (important now and postpartum)."
