35 Weeks

My weight gain: 20 Lbs

Craving:

Still Ice but I like to pour some Simply Orange with Mango over it....YUM!

Feeling: 

Pretty good! My morning sickness is pretty much gone now and I just battle the indigestion every afternoon and evening. I think the lack of morning sickness has helped with the weight gain..also the baby is getting big! My only complaints are her getting into the ribs in my back. That's usually how I wake up because it's so painful. I'm still not sleeping more than 5-6 hours but that's just the way it is here at the end.

Baby’s gender:

GIRL! :)

Baby’s size:

Baby Isla is over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds – about the size of a honeydew melon.

I had my 35 week appointment this morning where they did the Strep B test (yall know how fun that is). Baby Isla is doing great and I so am I. My blood pressure was a little high for me but that's to be expected in these last few weeks. It's nothing like it was when I had preeclampsia with Avelyn.

I've been nesting pretty hard lately and decided yesterday morning that I would redo the grout in our master shower. The previous owner had let it get moldy and then put caulk over the mold making it impossible to clean it. That shower grosses me out so bad that for the longest time, I would only shower upstairs. Anyway, I got this crazy idea in my head to redo all of the grouting and went straight to Lowes to buy $110 of supplies. I got home and got to work. About 2 hours in, I realized there was no way I could do all of it. If it was straight grout work that would have been easy, but removing all of the old caulk from the grout and then still removing the grout was taking a lot out of me. Thankfully, my husband had a sense of humor about it. I returned all of the stuff to Lowes and got a referral for a professional to come finish the job. He should be here any minute and I am soooooo excited!!! I will do a before/after post when it's done!
