34 weeks!

How Far Along: 34 Weeks and 3 days! According to my OB on Friday..."Only 6 more weeks to go or maybe 7 depending on Eleanor".  Are we seriously already having a discussion about how she may be late.  UGH!  

Size: Cantelope. 17.75 inches long and around 5 pounds!

Baby Development: Gaining weight and filing out due to increased fat layers. 

Maternity Clothes: Nothing new.  I have taken full advantage of warmer weather and have been wearing dresses and cardigans.  I am very much over pants in general. 

Weight Gain: 24 lbs.

Stretch Marks:  Still good!

Gender: Sweet baby girl!

Sleep: Getting more and more tired through out the day and sleeping like a rock at night.  Still only getting up once for potty breaks. 

Movement: Movements have slowed down.  She no longer is able to "swim" around in there.  Mostly she is just pushing out and making my belly lopsided.  She has hiccups regularly and I love feeling them!

Food Cravings: golden oreos, fruit, and apparently pizza since I had it twice over the weekend :)

Anything Making You Sick: the sushi rolls I ate last week did not sit well and I can finally say that I have thrown up during this pregnancy.  I know, I know.  I'm lucky. Getting sick with a big ole belly in the way is quite the predicament. 

Labor Signs: more and more braxton hicks contractions.  Also, some mild cramping here and there.  Although I am not getting my hopes up, I am interested to see where I stand when I go back next week. 

Belly Button IN or OUT: Very much an outie and people love to point it out. 

Wedding Rings ON or OFF:  booooooo.....they are off :(

My mom is coming next week and I am going to borrow one of her bands for the next few weeks so I don't feel totally naked!

What I Miss: my pre-pregnant body.  wine with dinner.

Symptoms: my ribs have been hurting.  I am assuming they are expanding because its an achey pain and not from her jabbing them.  Also, just plain uncomfortableness of having a large protruding belly. 

And yes, heartburn is still around and yes, I am dancing with fire by eating pizza but I was really craving the Cajun Pepperoni Pizza from a local sports bar. I took a Pepcid about 45 min before eating and it worked great!  I had a touch of heartburn about 4 hours later but nothing a Tums couldn't handle. 

Happy or Moody: happy and excited, but also anxious.  I am totally soaking up all the time that David and I have together before she gets here. 

Nursery: I ordered some new curtains because I felt that the ones we had were too shear and we needed a little more coverage from the morning sun that will be shinning in on her crib.  Love the new ones but they are about 1/2 a foot too short.  So now my plan is to add some pale pink fabric along the bottom of the panels since I don't want to make more holes in the wall by moving the curtain rod.

The old (but still new) shear swiss dot panels have found a new home as her shower curtain!  LOVE!

Best Moment of the Week:  Two of Eleanor's future friends were born this week and we are so excited!

We can't wait for Eleanor to meet Eloise and Olivia!
