34 weeks

 

 

How far along? 34 weeks.

Baby Hart is the size of:  A cantaloupe.

Total weight gain/loss:  Didn't change at all from this appointment and the one a couple weeks ago, so still at 19 gained.

Maternity clothes?  And even they are getting tight. Ah, home stretch ;-)

Stretch marks?  Pretty sure yes, a couple.  Relieving in a strange way to see since I've felt like my belly's about to bust ;-)

Sleep:  So awful, so so awful.  Lots of pee breaks.  Lots of waking up in absolute pain, no not discomfort, pain from being in the same position for too long (even though it's only been like an hr since I last woke up and moved positions).  Then the roll of death to get on my other side, that takes way more time and energy than it should haha ;-)

Best moment this week: Celebrating Jason's birthday- both he and Silas' birthday celebrations this year have been super simple and laid back, and it's honestly been really special and extra fun to celebrate them more "creatively";) and with less stress and business:)

Miss anything? Raw cookie dough.  Having energy.  Being able to sleep.  Caffeine in unlimited quantities.  Being able to bend. 

Movement:  Lots still, though not quite as much as has been- not in a bad way, just in a I-think-he's-getting-crowded way;)

Food cravings:  Pepsi- During the move I may have gotten a couple fountain drinks (crazy, cause I'm NOT a soda drinker), and now I'm stuck with Pepsi cravings;)

Symptoms:  Can spilling things be a symptom?

Showing?  I don't know why but little kids always seem to have to say something.  And for some reason it always bugs me;)  This week, a random strange lil girl looks at me and out of the blue goes "So, I take it you're pregnant."  I was like "I hope so."

Gender:  Boy!

Belly button in or out?  Out.
Wedding rings on or off? On.

Adjustments?  Adjusting to the bigger belly- I may be bumping the lil guy into stuff frequently:P

Emotions: Freaking out.  Jason and I had a moment of complete panic attack last Saturday morning at breakfast at how much we have to do before the mister comes.  Since Silas was 2 weeks early, we're trying to be more prepared for an early arrival ;)  So we made a to-do list for each day this week with the most important things to get done each day.  Let the "nesting" aka "yikes, holy cow, we're having a baby soon" mode begin!

Learned this week:  I feel like I just "learned" I'm pregnant.  Like, I've known it to this point, sure.  But now that the move and certification test are behind me, I feel like I really just "learned" that I'm pregnant.  Time to get busy;)

So thankful for:  A college friend and her mom came last Thursday to help me clean/unpack and she even brought some freezer meals!! Such a blessing and SO neat to catch up again with her!!  I also got to see a friend I knew from childhood and her family!!  So neat to reunite, and see our kidlets play together!!

Looking forward to:  Getting the nursery set up!

Week 34

How far along? 34 weeks.

Baby Hart is the size of:  A butternut squash.

Total weight gain/loss:  2 more pounds this week for 23 total gained.

Maternity clothes? Yes, and I'm finding myself wearing the same few comfortable things over and over and....

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: Been sleeping super, which seems strange, but I'm not complaining:)

Best moment this week:  When my hubby got back from his LAST- thank goodness!- business trip before baby:)

Miss anything? Had to miss my hubby AGAIN because of another business trip.

Movement: Yes he's still quite the active guy- it's so fun at this stage to be able to figure out his napping/playtime routines:)

Food cravings:  Just still having a very big appetite.  

Symptoms:  Overall feeling very super, though the lower back is definitely starting to take a toll.

Showing? Umm YES and I love how random strangers in public feel like they can tell me how huge I am :P  Nice.

Gender:  Baby Harts a lil boy:)

Belly button in or out?  It's pretty much an outie now;)
Wedding rings on or off? On.

Adjustments?  Adjusting, still ;), to the ever-growing belly.  Sorry Baby Hart for the times I've underestimated it's size;)

Emotions: Been getting out of the freak-out stage and into the just plain stinkin' excited phase:)

Learned this week:  That Target gives you a "10% off whatever's left on your baby registry" coupon- wooooot!  I knew Babies-R-Us did, but did not know Target did too!  YAYYY blessings!

So thankful for:  Getting such 10% off coupons in the mail this week:)  

Looking forward to:  Using said coupons ASAP to get everything else we need from our registries!:)

Other highlights:  Running through this pregnancy may end up being one of my proudest accomplishments ever- it has not been easy, but only a lil bit left to go!

Several weeks ago on the way to an ultrasound I heard a song on the radio that made me think of Baby Hart; and I then proceeded to cry throughout it;)  I tried and tried when I was home then to find the name and singer online, but couldn't even remember the specific enough lyrics (ahhh pregnancy brain).  I eventually gave up hope of finding it; but this week as I was listening to Pandora I heard it again!  I then proceeded to of course get the name of it, look it up on YouTube, and listen to it several times through more said tears:)
