October 5, 2012- 35 weeks

October! It's amazing that Baby Cloud could be here in five weeks! I just had my 35 week appointment and we are both doing well. The midwife said it feels like he is laying on his side with his head down (which explains why I have been feeling more kicking on my right side!) Next week we will have another sonogram to confirm if his head is down. I'm excited to see him - He is so big now! Apparently he is over 5 lbs and 18 inches long...There is definitely not a lot more room for him to grow.

I am doing pretty well. The past few weeks have been up and down as I've been feeling more uncomfortable with back pain and my skin feels really tight (because it is!) I am still sleeping well and grateful for that, but I feel tired and hungry most days. Last night I had a massage and got to use a special prego pillow that enabled me to lay on my stomach and back - it was such a nice change from lying on my side!

Brandon and I are getting more excited about his arrival and thinking about bundling him up for the cooler weather. Brandon is already planning out what he is going to wear for our Christmas photo! I am starting to think about everything I need to make sure I have before he gets here (It is amazing how much a tiny baby needs) and getting things organized at work.

I'll post some photos soon - Thanks for being excited with us!
