34 Weeks


Week 34

Size: a cantaloupe 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +32

Maternity Clothes: Maternity pants, regular tops and maternity tops.

Stretch Marks: None... Lathering up with lotion. 

Gender: GIRL!! 

Movement: Lots.  I still feel her kicks but now it's more of big movements.  

Sleep: Much better this week.  Sleeping with a wrist brace has helped tremendously.  

Cravings: None.  

Aversions: 
None.  

Symptoms:  Nausea, back pain, swelling, lots of lower stretching pains and stiff joints.

Labor Signs: None. Keep cooking baby girl!

What I Miss: my ankles

What I'm Looking Forward To:  Our final ultrasound on Friday, I can't wait to see how big she is. 
   
Best Moment This Week: Hubs put together lots of her stuff this week while he was off work.  Her stroller is ready to go, car seat and bases are installed, pack and play is in our bedroom and play mat is also ready to go.  We didn't plan on getting so much but he was on a roll! 

Thoughts:  It's crazy to think that in just over two weeks we will be considered full term.  That tells me that I need to be ready for anything, which is why we're trying to get a lot done around the house.  I was finally able to make 4 freezer meals and 1 bread this weekend.  I'm hoping to do a few more before she arrives.  I'm trying to take it easy because I know my body needs it and I also know I won't have this much down time once AG arrives.  On the other hand, I want to be very prepared.  I want the house in order, meals ready, all her stuff situated, etc.  Taking the time to prepare now will hopefully help us after she is here.  We will see but that is how I'm justifying it when I get lectures from hubs and friends.
