34 week update

34 weeks - maternity photos with my sweetie

 Belly shot - 34 weeks
 
How far along? 34 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Total of 16 lbs so far (gained 4 in 2 weeks). I've also been quite puffy, so part of that might be water. Still - not doing too bad.  

Maternity Clothes? Some of my favorite outfits are definitely too  tight to wear, so it's good I got some new maternity clothes because I just can't fit the initial maternity clothes like I used to.
Stretch marks? Yes - a little more noticeable this time around

Sleep: I wake up at least 2 times during the night, and I constantly feel congested. Maybe it's partially allergies (since I hear the pollen is out in full force now), but mostly it is pregnancy rhinitis. I really hope in about 6 weeks, this clears up :)

Best moment this week: Well always to hear Caleb's heartbeat at the Dr's. But it was also quite fun seeing him move my belly this week. He was so entertaining! I loved watching one part of my stomach go flat while the other side just became huge! It was fun watching and feeling his hand and feet move my belly all around.

Oh and our nursery is done! So I'm super duper excited!

Looking into Caleb's room - isn't that penguin just darling?!

Rocking chair in nursery - I love it! 


Miss Anything? I miss not having to wake up several times during the night, but even when Caleb is here, I guess it won't change. I've been thinking a lot recently about how I miss having a Cherry Coke (diet) or something like that without caffeine. Just makes me want one now. :)
Movement? OH YEAH! I thought he would move less because he is starting to get all cramped in there, but I feel him more. Either that or his movements do more because he is cramped in there. ;)

Food Cravings? hmmmm I still love Oreos, but not as much. I think I'm more hungry for mexican food this week.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Just when I get myself in a coughing fit in the mornings because of my pregnancy rhinitis. That's not fun.

Have you started to show? (see photos above)

Labor Signs? Not especially no.

Belly button in or out? In still, but it feels like it is less "in" than it was.

Wedding rings off or on? They are still on amazingly. But my hands are starting to swell more. I think they are going to be coming off soon :(

Happy or Moody most of the time? Pretty happy most of the time.

Wisdom: It doesn't take much to tire out a pregnant woman. Seriously. My husband did such an amazing job on our nursery last weekend and he did a good 80-85% of it, and yet I was the one that was worn out. I just feel so tired all of the time.

Looking forward to: Let's see - I am looking forward his arrival! :) 6 more weeks! But in the shorter term (though 6 weeks isn't that far away), I look forward to getting that hospital bag packed, celebrating Easter with my family, and having our last class (Birthing class) in two weeks.
 
Just for Fun: We had our friend Reva take some maternity photos of us - boy do I look BIG! :) But they are fun!
 
 
 Kissing my belly! 
 
All three of our shoes!
