How far along? Yesterday marked the 35/35 milestone: 35 weeks along, with 35 days remaining. In my case, though, we're counting down to a scheduled c-section at 39 weeks, so it's even less than that! 29 days remaining now. Wow.
Due Date: January 6, 2013, but Reid will be evicted by December 31. :)

Total weight gain/loss: I actually lost a pound this week, so about 19 lbs gained so far.
Maternity clothes? Today I made the mistake of wearing a non-maternity shirt because it seemed roomy enough, but I'm going to be tugging at the bottom all day to make sure I don't flash anyone the bottom of my belly! LOL.
Sleep: I haven't been sleeping so great lately, between the frequent potty breaks and this little boy who kicks me constantly! I've also started getting muscle cramps in my calf muscles at night. OUCH!
Best moment this week: This past week has been pretty uneventful, which I will count as a good thing. For once we haven't had any sickness in the house, I'm not having many Braxton Hicks contractions, and we're enjoying the Christmas decorations around the house. I think this may be the calm before the storm. Although, yesterday was a tough parenting day that exhausted both the hubs and myself. Colin was more "tantrum-y" than usual and we barely made it through the flu shot clinic at the pediatrician's office.
Movement: All the time. You'd think he'd be running out of space in there by now, but this baby is still doing some sort of yoga in there, I think.
Food cravings: Hot chocolate has really hit the spot lately. 'Tis the season!
Food aversions: Nothing in particular.
Gender: It's a boy! Reid William Vaughan.
Labor Signs: Still having Braxton Hicks contractions, but less often this week.
Belly Button in or out? It's still an innie, y'all! It looks pretty funky though.
What I miss: Being able to keep up with my very active toddler. Colin has been climbing everything lately and regressing a little with his tantrums, and it's more than a little exhausting sometimes!
What I am looking forward to: In the immediate future, I look forward to my OB appointment Wednesday. I'll get to hear Reid's heartbeat, which is always wonderful, and I'll have a quick internal exam and be tested for Group B Strep.
Of course, I am also looking forward to Christmas, and seeing my family again! They will arrive here on Christmas Eve, stay for Reid's birth, and my mom will stay a few weeks after that to help out. She's so awesome!
