35 weeks: Stress overload

How far along are you: 35 weeks

Total weight gain:  +0 lbs,  27 lbs total

Stretch marks: I just don't care!! lol

Sleep: Ya, no way. Finals this week and all I've been doing is waking up here and there thinking about the information.

Best moments of the week: I wish I had a moment but the distraction of these exams took me away from enjoy this week. Just need to get through this so I can REALLY focus on him.

Miss anything: The lack of feeling overwhelmed! But I guess this is good practice for when he arrives. I am sure this whole motherhood thing is gonna be a doozy. 

Movements: Surprisingly not too much this week. Or he has and I just didn't notice. Stupid stress.

Anything making you sick:

Have you started showing yet: 


Food cravings: Cereal is back in the mix. But I've luckily been indulging on other healthy items =) For the most part!

Maternity clothes: I'm so so grateful that my friend gave me a bunch of her maternity clothes! Since school is about to end, I won't be wearing my scrubs every day so a little style will be needed. It was so nice to hear my husband say "you are one stylish pregnant mama" lol! Made me feel pretty.

Gender: Future Movember supporter. Yes, these were purchased for our little man =)

Mood: Stressed... Look at these wrinkles and bags under my eyes!! 

Looking forward to: For these exams to end and doing absolutely nothing this weekend! Maybe tackle my hospital bag and finish up the babies room.

Husbands feelings: ?!!?

Running: Even though these exams have taken over my life... I'm still fitting in my workouts. Since my pace is rather slow, I was able to run and study on the treadmill at the same time which has been a HUGE lifesaver.

Photo(s) of the week: I am very proud to announce that I finally packed my hospital bag for the big day! You just never know when you are going to go. I like to be organized and stay on top of things. Yes, I know I can't control everything but this is something I know I can manage. After chatting with some friends and searching through Pinterest (especially this one site), I was able to narrow down the key things I will need at the hospital. 


Baby Bag: the bag for the baby consists of the following. Yes, I know that the hospital will be providing me with a bunch of items but I rather be prepared

  • 2 swaddle blankets
  • 2 newborn onsies, panst, jacket, hat set
  • 2 0-3 month size onsies, pants, jacket, hat set
  • Newborn pacifier
  • Destin diaper cream
  • Nail clippers
  • Hand mits
  • Nose cleaner thing
  • Teddy bear blanket <3
  • A few diapers
  • Baby wipes 
  • Burp clothes


Mamas Bag: I still have some things to add but as of now I am packing the below items.
  • Flip flops
  • Boppy pillow
  • Socks
  • Compression socks to wear during labor
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Toiletries 
  • Stay Free overnight pads
  • Snacks, GU, stingers, lollipops, gum 
  • Nipple cream
  • Pillow
  • Sweatshirt blanket 
  • Nursing bra
  • Sports bra
  • Full coverage underwear
  • Going home outfit
  • After delivery outfit
  • Chargers for electronics
  • Maybe an iPod radio

I might have to wear THIS to the hospital. It's the shirt I
made to announce our pregnancy and what I wore
when I was racing during this pregnancy. Barely fits
but I think thats the point =)
