How Far Along: 35 weeks
Total Weight Gained: 14 lbs
Sleep: I was sleeping great but now I’m back to waking up once or twice a night to potty.
Best Moment of the Week: Getting to hear TM’s heartbeat at the doc. I love that sound! Her heart rate is always random. It was 135 this time and 156 last time.
Food Cravings: This is not actually a food but I have gone to Sonic every morning for the past week for a Route 44 water.
Belly button/stretch marks: Keeping my fingers crossed and praying that I can make it without any stretch marks.
The belly button has popped and you can officially see the bottom. It’s nasty!
Symptoms: Braxton Hicks. Some intense vag pain. Leg cramps and back pain.
John Paul’s pregnancy symptoms: He has a new work schedule. I haven’t seen him this week so he’s doing great I’m sure! *Although he did mention that he “couldn’t wait for me to have this baby.” – Like that’s gonna make me less of a bitch or something.
Movement: Homegirl is officially head down and I feel her feet in my ribs all the time. You can visibly see body parts sticking out of my belly.
Gender: Girl – Turner McCartney
Milestones: 35 weeks! It’s craziness!
I went to the doc yesterday. This was my first time to be checked and I had my Group B strep test. Let’s just say – if you’re pregnant be prepared to be violated at your 35 week appointment. And I don’t mean your hoo ha. :)
I’m dilated 1 cm and I’m 70% effaced. She’s head down and apparently really low which explains the pain and pressure. Now I wish I knew what this means but honestly I wasn’t expecting to hear that and I forgot all the questions I wanted to ask. So basically I know nothing and I go back on Monday. I mean surely it’s a good thing that I’m effaced?!

You are looking great! I can't believe you are 35 weeks! Oh and when my pregnant friends throw around the word effaced, I just play along like I know what they mean... I really don't have a clue! Maybe I should google it.
it IS a good thing that you're effaced and (not to get your hopes up or anything), but you can be effaced/dilated for weeks and nothing change. Hopefully that's not the case for you. The lower she is, the better!
I remember when I was in the hospital and ready to push and they made me wait because she had to slide down more.
Keep hoping she keeps moving down & you keep dilating. If you didn't know- contractions cause you to dilate..so bring it on!!
Effaced means your cervix is softening so that's good!
Sorry if you already knew some of this...trying to help :)
Look at that cute little belly!
Another friend of mine had her group b strep test Monday also!
My bday is Thursday the 10th... Maybe you will have her then! =)

Your pregnancy is SO similiar to mine, except I gained about 60 extra pounds to your 14! ha BUT i had all those pains and stuff and I thin a lot of that is from our body type being pregnant! and ... everyone will tell you something diff I am sure but i can tell you what that meant for me, it meant a good quick labor! All that pain and effacement and dialation so early... she is gettin ready momma! Good for you! I absolutely can not wait to hear your blogs from the other side of motherhood!
