35 weeks - baby #2

So I'm officially 35 weeks. Baby boy doesn't have much room to maneuver now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds.  I supposed Because it's so snug in my womb, he isn't doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks remains about the same. There are lots of movements, sometimes like there are waves in my stomach. He is definitely more active than how London was.  According to babycenter, his kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products (OMG 😱😅)  Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight. I have gained almost 30 pounds. And with 5 more weeks til due date, I guess I will finish at 35 pounds ??

That is how big he is now in my belly. 

I have used up most of my maternity clothes and now recycled a few items just because I don't see the point of getting new stuff when I'm only a few weeks away. Today, I was wearing a shirt with  buttons and my stomach just busted the buttons lol. 

There is a huge difference in being pregnant in the summer vs the winter and I really prefer the summer minus the puffiness. It's a lot harder in the winter bc you have to be more careful with the snow and when I'm walking. I gotta wear more layers and it's just more work than the summer time. 

This is how I looked this morning.

This jacket is 2 size up my normal size and I still cannot zip it.

Can you see Deonn in the background ? :)

Here comes the belly.

This was New Year's Eve. I was trying to be a social butterfly: out and about with the belly.

Can't really see the bump with all those layers. But it is there.

Only 5 more weeks to go. I hope we can make it and the baby doesn't come too early. We are not ready yet.  I tell baby boy everyday that he needs to wait. It's too cold to come out now.
