Week 34

 

May 12-18, 2014

How far along: 34 weeks  

Total weight gain: Unknown, but I will find out next week at my now weekly doctor appointments (eek!).

Maternity clothes: I have a couple of sundress that are non maternity that I can squeeze into, but other than that all I wear are maternity clothes, and even those clothes are starting to feel more snug (thanks growing belly).

Stretch marks: After my sister-in-law inspected my belly she was able to say n o stretch marks for me!  The coconut oil and belly butter are doing the job.

Sleep: Well I am going to the bathroom 1-2 times a night, and most nights I am able to fall asleep.  And yes I am still lucky to have one night a week were I am up for an hour or two.

Best moments this week: My mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and nephew came to visit for my other sister-in-law’s college graduation this weekend and we had so much fun playing with Finn and getting our baby’s clothes washed and organized. 

Truly best moment is we finally bought a DRESSER for our baby!  I feel relief that we can finally start transforming our guest bedroom into our baby’s bedroom.  The dresser is perfect and we already have way too many clothes for our boy but yet so excited to dress him in all of them.

Miss anything: I miss not getting tired easily.

Food cravings: I love fruit, and this weekend I ate about half of a watermelon.  The sweet and juiciness tasted oh so good!

Pregnancy symptoms: According to my loving husband my belly is starting to get more round around the sides.  I hope this baby is getting comfortable while there is still room in my belly.  I hate to admit it but I am slowing down.  My feet not only are swollen all day everyday but they hurt throughout the day.  Will has been a great help in trying to help out more around the house (yes I am spoiled he make dinner every night so I can just rest on the couch) and tries to force me to slow down and relax- something I am not use to doing.

Gender: Baby boy!

Labor signs: BH especially after a long day and week at work.

Belly button in or out: My belly button is out and stretched that it looks like a scar instead of a belly button.

Wedding rings on or off: Wedding rings are on but I am thinking about taking them off in June in preparation of going into labor (I do not want to be in the position that they might have to get cut off).

Happy or moody: This week so happy and excited to have family visit and beyond excited we found a dresser.

Looking forward to: I am looking forward to my next doctor’s appointment with my favorite midwife.

The long awaited dresser!
