Another week pregnant and another week behind on this post because technically today I'm 35 weeks - AHHH. But I meant to post this earlier this week. However, Jimmy Jam was out of town for work and that made for one tired "single" mama each night. So I went straight to bed (well really studied first, then bed) every night. Better late than never!
How Far Along? 34 weeks
Size of Baby: about the size of a pineapple (4lbs)
Gender: Little baby GIRL
Weight Gain: 32 lbs
Maternity Clothes: yes ma'am. I'm starting to get sick of them too.
Nursery: I finished the garland for over her bed!! It was super easy and I just used all the extra fabric I had and added in some sparkly silver ribbon!!
I'm waiting for a coupon at Target to buy a couple more things to finish it up - but it's done enough, right? Have all the essentials and just need a few small wall pieces to finish it up. It's funny with the second how I don't feel like it needs to be "all done" because really - she won't be in there the first few weeks!

Movement: Oh baby. She is moving and shaking and kicking and moving. I'm not sure if it's the caffeine I have had (limiting myself to one pop a day most days...but somedays I struggle!). But she sure is making it known that she's in there!! As much as it does hurt sometimes, feeling her is something I will miss when I'm not pregnant. It's just the neatest feeling.
Symptoms: Swelling is creeping up but I don't think it's as bad as it was last time. Not sure if that's because I'm trying to avoid salty food or just because I don't have to walk as much and as far at work (from my car, to meetings) this time.
Cravings: I feel like I have none - but I need to start making stuff up and take advantage of this. I did eat some premade cookie dough that we bought from Charlie's school fundraiser that tastes oh so good.
What I Miss: I could have drank a few beers at the PV art fair on Sunday. #summertimerpregnantproblems
Best Moment This Week: Charlie has been loving on his sister (aka my stomach) a lot. It's so cute when he points to the baby. However, now he has started pointing to my boobs and saying "baby" as well. I couldn't decide if I needed to correct him or not - so I told him they were "boobies" and not "baby" so now he yells "BABY" and also "BOOBIES". Oh sheesh. Sarah - I might as well get used to that, right? Sounds like Brantley does that too!!!
Panic Moment This Week: I surprisingly haven't had a "PANIC" moment this week. Very excited for this little girls arrival - the countdown is on!!
Looking Forward To: Her arrival! It's crazy that it's just a month and a half away. Where did the time go?
Haha, yes! Proud dads they have!
ReplyDeleteAhh I'm so sick of maternity clothes as well. I pretty much rotate between a couple outfits!! And have you tried peppermint foot lotion?? Seriously the best thing ever at night for my swollen feet/ankles!
