Monday Morning Pop Tart

Week 34: Had a rough start to the week... several days of sickness and just overall not feeling well. The good days are definitely becoming fewer and farther between but when one does come around, it’s that much more of a welcome gift! =) I’m starting to get a bit nervous about getting things done before you arrive. And boy does everyone seem to have a thought on when that might be! ha! Your mama is big so that is warranting all kinds of comments about you coming today. I know when it comes down to it, you’ll be here when you get here and it will be just the right time. BUT - it wouldn’t hurt my feelings any if you just hang in there for these remaining six weeks. No need to rush! =)

Highlights

How Far Along: 34 weeks

Size of baby: Butternut Squash

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  Second verse, same as the first...

Maternity Clothes: Yes - what few things are still covering the bump. (Is it ok to still call it a "bump" at this point? It's more like a boulder...) I officially live in my maternity yoga pants and cute shoes are beyond non-existent at this point.

Gender: Still don't know.

Movement: Yes - lots of stretchy-type movements. Must be crowded in there... haha

Sleep: I've been doing a combo of a couple hours in the recliner and the remainder of the night in bed. It helps ensure I don't get as uncomfortable as early. I'm doing lots of flopping from side to side and taking plenty of pee breaks.

Symptoms: Nausea - especially at night, hip/back/pelvis pain, swelling, heartburn.

What I miss: Still having "plenty of time" to get things done before the baby comes.

Cravings: Cereal, muffins/breads, ice cream

Best Moment this week: Time at the salon.

What I am looking forward to: Fatty Arkalalah food and seeing friends.
