Hi! I'm Caitlin, wife of James and mama of Maxwell. I am a proud USCG wife, former ballerina, photographer, and retail manager. Being a working mom isn't easy, and this blog gets {seriously} neglected now and then {most of the time}, but I keep up with it when I can.

35 Weeks


35 Weeks


Maxwell's size: Over 18 inches long, and about 5 1/4 lbs, about as much as a honeydew melon.
How far along: 35 Weeks, and only 35 days left til my due date! 
Total weight gain:  26.5 lbs.  Only half a pound this week!
Sleep: Sleep has been a little better now that I've figured out that I need to put a pillow under my hips.
Stretch Marks: Still none, we're getting close to the end, so I'm really crossing my fingers now!
Symptoms: Hardly any Braxton-Hicks this week, really only when I'm getting dressed or undressed.  Heartburn has been BAD this week, I've actually had to go back to using Tums.
Movement: He's still moving quite a bit.  I keep waiting for it to slow down as he runs out of room, but he hasn't so far.
Belly Button: It's still hanging in there, but only by a thread.
Nursery Update: I still haven't done either of the last 2 projects (dresser drawers & painting shelves) and now I have some more laundry to do because we bought a swing (used) and we got some more hand me downs from a friend of James' at work.

Sneak Peek from my Maternity Session

Thanks to the lovely Sheena Been, of Photography In the Light, we had our maternity photos taken yesterday at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens.  Less than 3 hours after the end of our shoot, she already had some photos for us to peek at!  We are so thankful for these beautiful photographs and can't wait to see the rest!
