35 Weeks - WOW!

Had an appointment with our midwife yesterday. She did a bedside ultrasound and baby is facing up. Hopefully by doing cat cows every day I can get her to turn and face the other way.   Labor and tearing will be worse if she doesn't. So that was really discouraging. Also it took every ounce of energy I had to not bawl like a baby when I saw that I'd gained another three pounds since my last appointment. I was not expecting that - I've been eating so much better and getting in great workouts!
I'm wearing thin. And I have so many more weeks left... 
How far along: 35 Weeks

Total weight gain: 30lbs -and that's after counting my calories and watching what I'm eating! Eek! Maybe I'm still eating too much??

Maternity clothes: Yes

Stretch marks: No

Sleep: I wake up often to switch sides.. and rolling over hurts my lower abdomen :/ I had some weird dreams last night, too!

Best moment of this week

Miss anything: BEING SKINNY. Being able to move like a normal person.

Movement: Yes

Food cravings: not really

Anything making you queasy or sick: No

Have you started to show yetYES.

Gender: girl

Labor signs: no

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: off

Happy or moody most of the time: happy, yesterday I was very moody, though, and weepy!

Looking forward to: being skinny again!!!

Exercise: Most days - I haven't been lifting regularly, probably should be.

additional symptoms: I've been taking prevacid for heart burn and that's helped. Getting menstrual like cramps more often and I think they're getting a little worse. Still nothing like while I'm on my period, though. Lots of round ligament pain. Also I get occasional pressure/pain in my crotch - very different than round ligament pain. I forgot to mention this to my midwife. No clue what it means, if anything. From what I've read, it seems like it's just baby getting lower and ready for L&D.
