I know where round ligament pain can go...

Round ligament pain is the pitts. I experience it every night now and it's so much worse than ever before. I move carefully as it is to prevent leg cramps or braxton hicks or the dreaded subject of this post, but it hits me when I least expect it. I get it low on the right side and it's quite the blinding pain.

I'm already starting to fantasize about being able to sleep without these pains. I know sleep won't be peaceful with a newborn around, but I'm looking forward to my hips and belly feeling normal again. But then, of course, my boobs will probably hurt. Ha.

How far along: 35 weeks, 1 day

Total weight gain: 14 pounds. Yeah, that's three pounds in two weeks. At first it wasn't coming on fast enough, now it's coming on in waves. Joy.

Maternity clothes: Yes

Stretch marks: Still none that can be attributed to pregnancy

Sleep: Um, no.

Food cravings: Lucky Charms. They're magically delicious.

Labor signs: False labor signs abound. Lots of braxton hicks, lots of cramping, lots of fun. Also, I'm not sure where this topic fits, but I feel like my bump is different. Lower, but not super low like I've dropped and am terribly uncomfortable or waddle. Just different all of a sudden. I'm getting fewer instances of baby-foot-in-mama-ribs, although that still happens often enough.

Belly button in or out: Flat and getting bigger. My husband says my belly button is determined to stay an innie. And there's a funny voice involved and I find it quite hilarious, but I suppose that doesn't translate well to the blog.

What I miss: Rolling over in bed without blinding pain.

What I’m looking forward to: Meeting BabyZ! It's getting less anxiety-ridden and more exciting now.

Milestone: We've checked off tons of items on our big to-do list and finished our prenatal breastfeeding and childbirth class. There's just over a month left to go. Ah!
