How Far Along? – 34 weeks and 2 days.

Total Weight Gain? – 44 lbs since my last appointment.

Stretch Marks? – none on my belly..

Sleep? – Back to the recliner and it’s better again.  I wish my body would make up it’s mind sometimes..

Best Moment This Week? –  The past few weeks have been pretty busy.  We finally finished the dresser for the baby’s room and for our room.  They look so good and it cost us about $60 total!  Way better then buying new furniture.

After!

After we glazed it and we painted the old knobs black!  I love how it turned out!

After!

With the glaze you can really see the wood grain.  It just gives it so much character.

We have a new car seat and stroller that we finally took out of the box.  I can’t wait to use them! 

I’m finally down to seeing the doctor every two weeks.  It makes me feel like time is going to fly now.  And it has the last two weeks! 

We finished our Lamaze classes.  I’m so glad we took them.  We both feel so much better, having an idea of the things that will happen in the hospital before, during, and after labor.  And knowing our options.  I highly recommend taking the class even if your not planning to have an all natural birth.  Which I’m not!  I’m to chicken..  Give me the drugs!

John has been interviewing and testing for a lot of departments.  I’m so proud of him and all the hard work he is doing!  We have faith that he will get a job soon!

Today we got to have another ultra sound.  This time just for fun.  And we finally got that classic profile picture.  She is so big now that she almost doesn’t fit in the picture.  I’m so glad I finally got to see her cute little face.  I think she is going to have chubby cheeks!

Miss Anything? – My small and uncracked feet.  They swell up so easily now.  That’s probably my biggest complaint right now.

Movement? – Well her kicks don’t tickle anymore.  Now sometimes they just hurt.  She is already head down and she loves to kick especially my ribs.  I think she thinks of them as a punching bag sometimes.  She gets the hiccups every day!  Sometimes twice a day.  Usually when I eat spicy foods.  Her hiccups are so strong they almost feel like little kicks.

Food Cravings? – ICE CREAM!  Any cold treat but mainly ice cream.  Especially cherry chocolate chip it's my favorite right now!  I love it!!

Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick? – not really

Gender: - GIRL!

Labor Signs? – no, but I have started to feel some braxton hicks contractions every so often.

Belly Button in or out? – in and its almost smooth but I’m thinking it might not ever pop out.

Wedding Ring, On or Off? – I now can’t wear any ring at all…

Happy or Moody most of the time? - Happy & anxious..  Very anxious..  Now excited and feeling a little rushed to get everything done in time.

Looking forward to – My baby shower is this Saturday!  I'm so excited to see my family and friends!  I have been holding off on getting baby clothes and a few items.  I can’t wait to see what we get for her. 

How big is baby? – Should be about 4 ¾ lbs and is almost 18 inches long. Like the average cantalope.

Baby's development this week – her lungs are still developing.
