35 Weeks

Hello 35 weeks! Hello not being able to breathe regularly anymore....haha. People at work are commenting on how I am always breathing heavily lately. Yes, always when I walk up the steps but even worse is that I still breathe heavily when just sitting at my desk working on grading papers. Darn baby needs to get his/her feet out of my ribs/lungs. Baby is the size of a coconut. He/She is literally crazy in my belly. Nonstop movement and rolling. I am hoping that means he/she isn't very big. Otherwise I keep thinking how does he/she have that much room anymore. My upper back has been killing me and my right side is still swelling up most days. It is weird to think that my due date is only 5 weeks away. I saw the dr this week and she said my belly is actually measuring 34 1/2 cms, so a bit small. Baby's heart-rate was a shock for us all this week. Every time we have gone in it has been around the 150s (one time is was in the 130s) but at today's dr appt it was in the 170s! WHAT!?! I thought baby's heart-rate was supposed to slow down as he/she was getting bigger. It also makes everyone who said "boy" all along start to question their guess. Can you believe in 5-6 weeks we will finally be able to know if you are a boy or girl baby? I can't wait!
