35 weeks, Braxton Hicks, and Hot Chocolate

I'm now officially 35 weeks and a day along in this pregnancy, and it's turning  out to be WAY different than my first pregnancy. Last time around I didn't really get any contractions or Braxton Hicks until I went into labor... Now I have Braxton Hicks ALL THE TIME and intermittent contractions. In fact this morning while I was walking with Jax I had one long Braxton Hicks through the entire walk, talk about uncomfortable! I don't know if that means that I'm going to go into labor early or what, but before all this... activity... I fully expected to go until my due date like I did with Jax, but now I have no idea.

Also, I have a really hard time sleeping now. Last pregnancy I just needed to sleep a lot, but now I wake up around 3 am and can't go back to sleep. Luckily I've found that getting up and taking a shower helps me get back to sleep... except this morning... which was lame. I read an article about sleeping during the last trimester and they recommended drinking a hot drink before bed, so I've been on a strict regimen of drinking a mug of hot cocoa before bed :D. Now that I think about it I didn't have any last night, which may be why I had a hard time this morning. Well I'll definitely have to get back into my regimen tonight and see if it helps.

I've still been nesting like crazy, which of course is taken out on sewing... And I must say I'm pretty impressed with myself, I'm getting to the point where I can wing it pretty well. Here are some pictures of the things I finished last week!

Of course I only saw the light was wacky after I got it loaded on my computer : / Anyways this is everything from last week, 2 dresses, 4 pairs booties, 2 skirts, a pair of boots and a jacket. 

 Here are the dresses, I found a tutorial online and adjusted the sizing. I decided most of the things I was sewing were for spring/summer weather (which doesn't fly in Utah) so these are supposed to be more for the winter...

This is the jacket and pair of boots, the jacket I made without a pattern and it's lined in fuzzy cream fabric. The boots I made by altering the pattern I have for the booties and winging it. They're also lined with the fuzzy cream fabric... Again, I'm aiming for winter.

This dress I made the week before, but couldn't take a picture of it to share, but it's one of my favorites! It was a more complicated pattern than I was normally doing but I'm so pleased with how it turned out!!!

Ya, besides chasing my insane toddler around, this is how I've been filling my time. I have so many more ideas but I'm also needing to make Christmas presents and a quiet book for Jax. It's so hard to divide up my time for these last few weeks before the new baby, but at least it's all fun stuff :)
