| I can't help but notice my shadow on a sunny day! Daddee helped me capture it! |
 |
| My view at week 32! |
 |
| Yep, I wear the same dresses over and over and over and over... |
  |
| We finally picked up our rocker/recliner for the nursery! Purchased with help from donations from Will's Dad and My Mom :) |
 |
| Week 32: Takin a break from boogying at Natalie & Devon's wedding! |
 |
| 35 weeks: making a mold of my belly at our Centering Program! |
 |
| YAY! my own walk in closet!! How's a girl get so lucky!!!??? The closet walks in from my bathroom, inside of our bedroom upstairs. It's definately a better use of space! WORK IN PROGRESS! |
How far along? 35 weeks!
2 weeks till “full term”!!!! But,
could have wait to meet baby burns until 42 weeks…7 weeks from now. Right now, that seems like a LONG time!
Total weight gain/loss: According to my last check up, I’m up 23 total lbs. My arches are hurting… my feet have finally started to swell. My hands are swelling too. My body swells the worst when the weather is hot and humid outside. When it’s a nice cool day, I have an easy time! Fundal height is measuring on track with my week, my last appointment on 9/3 I measured 36cm!

Maternity clothes? My friend Emily had her baby to an adorable baby boy, Hudson! And she donated some of her maternity clothes. Boy are they helpful in this last month!!! My mom bought me some nursing clothes which are also super comfy!
Stretch marks? Nope!
Highlights:
Everything is going well! A lot of time has passed since my last post. I’ve included some pictures that may highlight the highlights ;) Turned a birth plan into my midwife...although I'm flexiable...whatever it takes to get the baby out healthy! And, we chose a lady to help us with daycare when I go back to work. She lives not even a mile from us and is licensed by the State of MI. She is also very affordable, is open to managing cloth diapers and any other unusual requests we might have ;)
Brittany and Tesia threw me a big family shower, in which Baby Burns became more spoiled! Here is the link to all of the pictures on Facebook:

We have TWO more showers to look forward to! One on 9/14 and one on
9/15!
New baby items: lots and lots! Too many to list… All of this will be documented in the NEW baby book we received from someone special! J

Movement? Tons still! I’m wondering if this means that baby still
has room to grow, and won’t greet us until mid-October?
Miss anything? Mobility mainly. Wanted to walk the Mackinaw Bridge over Labor Day but we decided not to due to lots of Braxton Hicks contractions, and a feeling that I just should stay home this year. I also feared dehydration, which would be the only thing that might cause pre-term labor… just didn’t want to take any chances. I heard it wasn’t the best weather to walk the bridge this year, so maybe we lucked out not going.

Food cravings? Chocolate is my only main true craving. Ice cream (with some sort of chocolate in it
of course) is also a preferred sweet!
Healthy foods have been what I’ll choose otherwise. So, I guess it balances out a bit ;)
Gender: I’m still pretty
confused. However, if I had to pick, I’d
say that this baby is a boy. I’m not
exactly sure why… just a hunch. I just
know that I can’t really rule out that baby Burns is a girl.
Belly button in or out? This
week, 35 I’ve actually noticed my belly button pop out a bit!
Wedding rings on or off? I
took my ring off at 35 weeks … in fear that I may need a C-Section and I can’t
get my ring off because my hands are swollen.
I’ve had a couple of times where my ring was stuck on my finger due to
swelling. It normally goes away in the
morning so I can easily slip my ring off.
But, didn’t want to take any chances here. My ring will be in one piece this way! I do miss wearing it.
Mood/How are you feeling? A
bit tired but good! I’m so anxious and
excited for the end to come, simply to meet this little one.
Looking forward to: a couple
more showers! And, of course meeting
baby Burns very very SOON!
Fitness Report: walking, stretching, squats
What I’ve learned: I
learn new things every day! The funniest
of which being if you “Shhhhhhhhhhh” really loud in a newborn baby’s ear they
actually find that comforting! I’ve
been reading Baby 411 and the Business of Baby.
Lots of great and surprising info in the books! I've learned that pregnant brain is REAL! A couple instances in the same week happened where I ordered a beverage from Starbucks, drove up to the pay window and reached out for my beverage. It didn't cross my mind that I had to actually PAY for the beverage first! I also start something and forget what I was doing...A LOT. I get some good laughs at myself lately!
***You'll have to forgive this mama-to-be for the delayed post, and how sloppy, un detailed, and unorganized this post is! It will probally get worse after the baby is born!***
