34 Weeks!

How far along? 34 weeks. April is coming up SO fast. 

Total weight gain: I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. . . so we shall see! I haven't been very good at remembering what the scale says. It's not really that important to me. Unless my doctor is worried, I'm not worried and so far I've been with in a healthy range. 

Maternity clothes? Yep. I did get a couple of non maternity camisoles that were on sale at target this past weekend (but I did get them in a medium so they would cover my bulging belly). 

Stretch marks? Nope. 

Sleep: Still tricky. I'm slowly taking over the bed (sorry Dan!) with my belly, pillows, and attempts at tossing and turning. Rolling over takes work! 

Best moment this week: The baby shower my mom and sisters threw this weekend was great :) It's been warming up a little this week. 

Miss Anything? Sitting on the floor/getting up from the floor easily :) I sat on the floor today with the kids and then just stayed there for a while because it was just too much work to stand up again. 
Movement: Yes! And she is strong! The kids in my afternoon class have been really into feeling her move- it's pretty cute. As soon as one little guy gets to school, he asks me where my baby is and then pushes around on my belly until he feels her move. 

Food cravings: cold foods (frozen rasps, popsicles, cold water, custard, ice, etc.)

Anything making you queasy or sick: I'm still staying away from onions and garlic, just incase. If I go too long in between snacks/meals, I get a little heartburn going on. 

Gender: She's a girl! 

Labor Signs: I hope I have no signs anytime before I'm supposed to.  

Belly Button in or out? Still sometimes flat and sometimes popped. It's funny to watch her little body parts slide over the spot where my belly button is- it goes from flat to popped to flat again :) 

Wedding rings on or off? Still on. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Mostly happy. Sometimes I get stressed about wanting things to be just right for my little one. Like this weekend, I was diaper bag shopping and I had the hardest time making a decision on which bag to buy. Logically, I knew it wasn't a big deal. I knew I should just buy a bag that I liked and it would be fine. But, my pregnancy self was worried that it wouldn't be big enough or it would be too big, the zippers would break, the pockets wouldn't be easily accessible, I wouldn't like the color. . . I ended up choosing a bag and still liked it when I got home :) 

Looking forward to: Spring break still! It's getting hard to be active with the 4K kids and a week off of school before baby arrives will be much needed :)  The St. Patrick's Day parade is this weekend too! Hopefully the weather forecast holds up. I love parades and love St. Paddy's day :)
