Kelly Belly-34 weeks

This is two days late....I'm tired and lazy :)

How Far Along:  34 weeks!  That mean only 6 weeks left...OMG!  So much to do!

Size of Baby: she is the size of an average cantaloupe and is getting close to 5 pounds

Maternity Clothes: always

Weight Gain:    +25 so far.  I go back in a week so we will see...

Sleep: ya just never know how sleep will go.  Some nights I sleep really hard and other nights I stay in the living room for three hours unable to fall asleep.

Best Moment of the Week:  Collier and Syble (niece and nephew) came to our house this weekend and that was fun.  My husband has been taking really good care of me this week.  He gets me water so I don't have to get up, runs me a bath when I am having contractions, rubs my back, etc.  I love him so much!

Movement:  yes...all the time.  I seriously love it and I know that I will miss it so much when she gets here.  But I'm thinking snuggling with here will be more fun :)

Symptoms:  Holy Reflux Hell...that is all I have to say about that..

I am exhausted most of the time.  I have a few good hours in the morning and then it is time for me to take it easy.

I swear my belly button is going to pop out at any second.  It was stable for a while but this past week it is looking really funny!  It is basically flat.  When I have a contraction or when she pushes really hard behind it it sort of pops out.  I'm interested to see what happens....

I have had two not so fun little episodes this week.  One was last Saturday night.  I was making dinner and I just all of the sudden started having contractions.  They were more than I thought I should be having so I went to lay down and started timing them.  They were very irregular but I had about 12-14 in an hour and a half.  I couldn't decide whether to call the dr or not.  Thank goodness they went away just as fast as they came on.  This same thing happened last night.  Only this time they were more regular.  I had about 6 that were 5 minutes apart...I was on the verge of freaking and calling but then they just stopped.  It is so weird!  I think that I just need to realize that I am over 8 months pregnant and I need to be resting.  So that is what I am trying to do.  One of these days very soon they aren't going to just stop and it will be time for her to arrive!  

What I Miss:  nothing really...I wish my esophagus wasn't on fire but I was used to that even before pregnancy.  

Food Cravings/Aversions: I still love fruit.  But this week I have had WAY too many of those pillsbury orange danishes....Oh my...they rock!  Other than that I am just really hungry all the time. 

Gender: Little Miss B

What I'm Looking Forward to:  I have a busy weekend ahead!  Tomorrow morning is maternity pictures, then Saturday morning I have another shower, and Sunday evening I have another small shower.  I am going to try to rest in between all of that!  

I am also looking forward to getting her bedding in.  I got the email yesterday saying that it had shipped!  Should be here on Monday...WOO HOO!!!!

Weekly Wisdom: Ask for help if you need it.  

Milestones:  making it to 34 weeks is HUGE.  I can't believe we are this close.  I am getting so excited to meet her and see her little face!

Here is a belly pic from this week.  I feel like it is expanding on the sides....

And these are in my bathing suit.  We didn't go on the boat while the kids were here but we did go down to the dock and let them swim.  I actually went outside this weekend because it wasn't 115!!!!
