34 weeks

 

How far along: 34 weeks, 3 days
Mini is the size of a: a pineapple (19-22 in. 4.9 lbs.)
Maternity Clothes: oh yes!
Stretch Marks: must admit that I am pretty impressed with my belly for looking awesome. I will thank my mom for her genes on that one!
Sleep: Still pretty good. I have started to sleep on a towel just in case...
Symptoms: Shortness of breath, TMI but got a UTI over the weekend (baby is sitting right on my bladder and in effect not allowing me to properly empty it), tired, bending over is HARD.
Best Moment of the Week: Oh I have had a lot of great moments this week. Got to see my sweet little girl's profile and hear her strong heartbeat. Also been cruising around in my new car and still can't get over that it's mine!
Movement: On and off, little babe is running out of room!
Cravings: still watermelon (David cannot believe how much of it I can take down in a sitting!)
Gender: all girl
Belly Button In or Out: In and flat
Wedding Ring on or Off: On!
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick: nope
What I Miss: The 4.5 inches of hair I cut off...
What I am Looking Forward to: I have two more baby shower's this weekend and I am excited to celebrate with more friends and family.
Labor Signs: None...yet
Nursery: Ordered the rug and cannot wait to receive it! David is building me a ladder to hang blankets on in the corner of the room. After that all we need is to hang the mobile and other items on the walls. Time to start snipping tags on clothing and washing!
Emotions: Happy and so excited to begin maternity leave next Friday. In California we are lucky enough to get 4 weeks off prior to birth (paid out by disability) and I can't wait to spend time with my mom and go crazy cleaning the house. And sleep...lots of sleep before baby.

And I was in Trinity so no 33 week update but I did manage to come home from our trip and snag a photo at 33 weeks, 6 days. All for the purpose of documentation. Woof to that photo! haha

  13. Your hair looks amazing! I don't know if it's safe with baby, but taking Biotin makes it grow back super fast. And that is SO nice to get a whole month off to prepare!

  15. You are looking so cute girl. Almost there! Watermelon sounds so delicious right about now, especially with the hot weather, but I bet it makes you pee like crazy?! Good to hear about the stretch marks, it gives me hope!

  21. Getting closer and closer! Can't wait to see the nursery progress! And omg I've always loved watermelon and my ILs kept telling me not to eat it while pregnant (too much cold Qi, they said), but I couldn't stop myself. And wouldn't you know, Kaitlyn is a veritable watermelon eating monster! :p
