34 weeks

How far along? 34 weeks

Baby Bump? Yep.

Maternity Clothes? I am getting tired of rotating through the same 5 outfits every week. If I’m not at work I’m usually in pajamas.

Best moment this week:  My cousin had her baby boy this week, which makes me really excited for our baby to get here. It is fun seeing other people announce that their little ones are here and it makes me excited knowing we only have about 6 weeks left to wait. 

Belly Button in or out: It is still in but is look funny. The top of the belly button looks like it wants to pop out but the rest is still in. Scott finds this very funny.

Miss anything?  How easy it used to be to change positions. I feel like every time I need to stand up or sit down I have to exert so much more effort than I used to.

Food cravings: Nothing new.    

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy (and anxious for this little girls due date to come)

Gender: BABY GIRL! 

Symptoms:  Some heartburn, crazy dreams(every night), some back pain, HUGE belly.

Wedding Ring on or off: It's still on. I haven't noticed any weird swelling unless I am outside or walking around for a long period of time.

Sleep: It’s been difficult getting to sleep, but it isn’t too bad once I actually fall asleep.

This week baby is the size of: A cantaloupe, a little over 4.5 pounds and almost 18 inches long.

Baby’s development this week: I learned that babies born between 34 weeks and 37 weeks may need some time in the NICU but the stay is usually pretty short if they have grown the way they are supposed to and don’t have any major issues. That is good to know. From here on out she will be starting to build up her fat.

New Baby Items: Nothing that I can think of. We are waiting for our baby shower before we go out and buy too much more.

Looking forward to: My shower in a couple weeks. I am anxious to have everything ready, and once the shower is over I can make sure we have everything that we need.

Anything Else Going on: Not really, just waiting for our little girl to come join us.
