Weeks 34, 35, 36, and 37

How Far Along: 34 Weeks


Size of Baby: Baby Wilkins is the size of an average cantaloupe.
Maternity Clothes: Mostly maternity, some dresses still fit but I have made the decision to only wear maternity the rest of the pregnancy since I want to wear my normal stuff later on and not have people wonder if I am still wearing maternity clothes. :-)
Gender: It's a girl!!! Emmalyn Caroline Wilkins
Movement: Baby girl moves all the time! I usually feel her rolling around more than kicks or punches.
Sleep: Some nights are great; most are up and down then toss and turn.
What I Miss: Not being hot a majority of the time!
Cravings: Nothing in particular but seemed like if it was food… I wanted it!
Best Moment this week: This week I had two showers for me and went to a shower for Emmalyn’s cousin on the way Makenna! I had so much fun at both showers; we are so blessed to be loved by so many and have them want to participate in celebrating our little one’s arrival!

How Far Along: 35 Weeks


Size of Baby: Baby Wilkins is the size of a honeydew melon.

Movement: Baby girl moves all the time! Her movements are a lot higher than they have been and usually feel more like her rolling around than kicks or punches.

Cravings: Nothing in particular but seemed like if it was food… I wanted it!
Best Moment this week: This week started with a trip to Birmingham for GrandBee and me to attend the BabyPalooza presented by St. Vincent’s Hospital.
