35 weeks - Happy Birthday to Matt! and Nursery Pictures!!

How far along: 35 weeks and 5 days. Fruit/Vegetable Comparison and Size: Coconut - I'm guessing this is in comparison to the weight? - About 18.5 inches long. Total weight gain: 29 lbs.  Exercise: 1 day prenatal yoga, 3 mile walk to Chestnut Hill with Sheryl, 5 mile kayak trip with Matt for his birthday. :) Maternity clothes: Everything is just tight these days, my smalls and mediums even in maternity clothes are getting stretched to the max. Only a few more weeks left! Sleep: Still sleeping well, multiple bathroom breaks, but luckily I am able to fall back asleep quickly... However, Matt woke up this week in the middle of the night, and I somehow also woke up to see him sitting upright, and I asked him what was going on, and he said, "I'm just being a turtle." He then laid down, rolled over and didn't wake again until the morning, where I then proceeded to tell him about the nights events... and he never remembered a thing. Maybe too much time with our almost 3 year old niece? ;) Best moment(s) of this week: Celebrating Matt's 29th birthday today with a 2 hour kayaking trip at Green Lane Reservoir and U-Pick Strawberries at Long View Farms. - What a year! Full of many transitions and celebrations, struggles and joys - There is no one else I would rather share life with than Matt. 

Miss anything: Nothing is really slowing me down at the moment, my energy level has remained strong in the last week, so I will continue to ride this wave! Movement: Sometimes he feels like a little frog in my stomach, bending his legs and straightening them constantly. I'm hoping he will be able to walk (after all of his leg strengthening exercises) when he comes out. :) Food cravings: English muffins with raspberry jam and butter every night for dessert.  Symptoms: Leg cramps at night if I flex my toes - ouch! - nothing else, just a growing tummy!  Gender: Boy - We have settled on a middle name! Hooray! That's all for now... Belly button in or out: Popped out.  Wedding rings on or off: On, I'm determined to keep them on! Looking forward to: My next baby appointment on Wednesday - it's always nice to hear a little update on my progress. Then I'll be going weekly from here on out! Woo hoo! He's almost here!

**And last but not least, here are the nursery pictures as promised! (A few photos missing from the walls still, but overall complete!)**
