Week 34 was a good one! We spent the weekend in Durango for snowdown, which is a really special event for us. Last years snowdown trip was when it started being clear that we were much more than casually dating. They say when you know, you know, and I'm a firm believer in that statement. We've both had previous relationships that were longer than ours has been, but were wrong in so many ways. It only took us a few months to know that our relationship was different, better, and for the long haul. Fast forward a year, and a baby about to make his entrance into the world, and these feelings are only solidified by our growing love. On the note of vacationing at the end of pregnancy.....lets just call it a going out to eat/nap-cation! We definitely didn't do nearly as much walking around/browsing as we usually do. We ate some bomb food, got some good mountain time in, and napped a lot. It was perfect! Recent developments in the pregnancy have taken me away from Clay quite a bit. Ex- I go to bed to lay down almost immediately when I get home from work.The only relief from the rib pain is laying in bed with a heating pad so that's where I camp out. Clay spends a lot of time with me, but your interactions when being in pain/immobile are definitely different than our usual goofiness/ quality time. We may live together, but I miss him, and miss being able to have pain-free/care-free time together. Baby boy has started to drop which is causing a lot of pressure/ heaviness down yander. I'm not waddling yet, but I feel like that may be coming soon. Ha! I've had the linea negra (line from your belly button, down) for a few months now. They say it goes away after child-birth. We'll see. Wives tales also claim that if it's a boy, it's extended up from the belly button, and that if it's a girl, it only goes down from the belly button. Mine absolutely follows the wives tail, and goes clear up to my chest. It also splits at the belly button which I find so weird! The top line is a little to the left, the bottom line is a little to the right?! It's weird, but I'm sure I'll want documentation to compare with my next pregnancy so there's a pic of it attached on this blog post. This weekend is our co-ed diaper party/shower, and is also the last of our showers. Clay's mom is hosting it, and I'm so looking forward to having this weekend with his family/ child-hood friends. It's been so wonderful getting to share this time with our friends/ family, and we're looking forward to getting everything settled/organized after this weekend. With that being said, Nursery pics should be coming soon ;-p

How far along? 35 weeks, 3 Days today
Total weight gain/loss? 26 lbs
Maternity clothes? Wardrobe is VERY limited now.
Stretch marks? None, but my belly is WAY more dry/itchy lately. I'm easily applying lotion 3x as often as I had been up until this point. Hoping to continue on with no stretch marks, but we'll see.
Sleep? Still sleeping great. Have started to get up once a night to pee, but fall right back asleep.
Best moment this week? Snowdown in Durango
Miss Anything? Rare Steak
Movement? He's a strong, fiesty one! His movements shift my entire belly. The only place it's started being painful is in my ribs, but when he kicks up there it knocks the breath out of me!
Food/Drink cravings? Anything sweet! Cookies especially!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Just when I over-eat, but i've been really careful to not do that.
Have you started to show yet? The only thing that hides it now is a sweatshirt!
Gender? It's a BOY!
Labor Signs? Braxton Hicks are getting stronger, and he's started to drop. This is all a slow process though, it'll still be a few weeks.
