5 weeks to go!

How far along? 35 weeks and 1 day

Total weight gain/loss? Up 3 from last week, up 14 total

Maternity clothes? Every thing full time now.

Stretch marks? :( Yes. More than 2 now, all near my belly button. They no longer hurt, but man does my stomach itch like crazy! Nothing seems to help!

Sleep? I went back to waking up every 2-2.5 hours. Thankfully, it doesn't seem to take me long to fall back asleep.

Best moment this week? Finding out I am 1cm dilated and about 80% effaced. We're making progress!

Movement? He can't really kick now, he'll just stick a random body part out and I feel like I have to push it back in! And, hiccups.

Food cravings? Ice cream. That's pretty much it. Yup.

Gender? It's a BOY!

Labor signs? Yes. I'm having contractions now. Didn't realize on Monday I was having them, but they were 6 minutes apart. I had to go back to L&D last night due to more contractions. I'm home today and tomorrow taking it easy as it's just a little too early for them.

What I miss? The cooler weather, sleeping through the night, no heartburn, and still sex.

What I'm looking forward to? My childdbirth prep class on Saturday. Not a moment too soon too!

Weekly Wisdom: Don't be scared about calling wolf. You never know what's going on.

Milestones: I guess having possible signs of preterm labor.

Emotions: Good, I survived week 34 (and so did my dad). Now, I'm mainly nervous about all these contractions and know that I'm clueless right now if he were to come. I'm relieved that the childbirth class is on Saturday. I also have to finish packing my bags!
