34 Weeks

34 Weeks

I am so excited to be getting down to the end of this pregnancy!  Each week that gets checked off makes more and more excited to meet our Sweet Girl!  This last week we were able to spend a lot of time together as a family which was great because starting next weekend J will be doing a 40 day project at work that will keep him there for late nights and weekends.  I'm not sure how G is going to do without his daily daddy time.  He absolutely lights up when J gets home every night and it is so cute!

These two melt my heart!

On the nursery front, this last week I finally got the curtain sewn!  I still have to attach the tabs to hang it by but the panel is now sewn which means that all of my big nursery projects are complete!  I was also able to go to a consignment sale where I got a bassinet to put Baby Girl in when she is hanging out with G and me in the family room.  I really needed to find something to put her in that was high enough that G wouldn't be able to reach in and hurt his sister.  We are working with him on the concept of being gentle but he just doesn't get it quite yet so I'm happy to have a place to set her that he can't get in to.  When I brought it home, G immediately climbed in to the basket on the bottom of the bassinet and has continued to do so every day :)

34 Week Update:

How far along: 34 Weeks

Gender: Girl

Baby is the size of a: Pineapple

Maternity clothes: Yes, I'm wearing a combination of maternity clothes and stretchy dresses.

Stretch marks: None yet!

Belly button in or out: In but SO stretched out.

Sleep: Sleep was so much better this week!  I bought a sound machine with a night light for the nursery and G seems to be sleeping much better.  Hopefully sleeping through the night will continue!

Best moment this week: I started nesting a bit and got all of Baby Girls clothes washed and organized by size.  I also got my suitcase mostly packed for just in case and it was fun to do that because it means she will be here so soon!

Worst moment this week: Just the persisting back pain.

Miss anything: Having a waist!  I can't wait to fit in to most of my wardrobe again soon!

Movement: This Little Lady is constantly moving!  My belly is so stretched out that you can really see her moving around now.  

Cravings: Chick- fil- a Lemonade.  I bought a whole gallon of it this week so that I could have it any time I wanted :)

Symptoms: Back pain is still my worst symptom.  I have had just a little bit of swelling mostly at night but it's not bad at all.

Labor Signs: Just lots of Braxton Hicks contractions!

Looking forward to: Having an ultrasound at my doctor's appointment this afternoon to check for position!  It's been a long time since I have been able to see this Little Lady!
