35 weeks…35 WEEKS! Ahhh, that means that I’ve got only 5 weeks left to prepare for the bean to come home. I’ve really gotten nesty over the last week or so. I’ve washed and sorted all of the the baby clothes that we have bought over the months as well as started to put the baby’s room together. I have 5 million bottles left to wash and a middle name to pick out. At the beginning of the pregnancy I didn’t think this day would ever come. This has been what seems to be the longest pregnancy ever. But now that I have the clock ticking down and just 5 weeks left to go, I feel rushed and anxious. We pretty much have everything bought that we need to buy with the exception of diapers and formula, but those can wait till the last couple of weeks. I doubt I’ll be having a baby shower this time because with my first child no one showed up when I threw one so I’m basically not going to bother with baby #2. I just don’t feel like going through that again.

Back pain, oh the back pain is unbareable. I’ve never had such bad back pain before in my life. If I lay flat on the floor it is just absolutely excrutiating. You can see in the above photo that my tummy really does stick straight out. I’m sure that that whopping baby of mine has something to do with messing up my sciatic nerve. I just hope that it goes away after the baby is born. I can barely walk at times the pain gets so intense.

Can I really get any bigger? As I look at my stomach I just can’t imagine getting any bigger. But as I look back on past photos in my pregnancy you can really see the belly grown, especially in the last month or so. WOW! I know I’m stretching out further than I did with pnut because I now have some new stretch marks to add to the roadmap that was formerly known as my stomach. I keep telling myself, just 5 more weeks….5 MORE WEEKS!!!
