Bump Report: 34 Weeks

Heeellloo! Well today has been about the longest day ever, at least that's what it feels like to me! It's pretty bad when you feel like you've reached the end of the internet and have nothing else to look at.  You can also do only so much online shopping before your card is hot to the touch! I'm also feeling like I'm coming down with a cold : (

So this past Saturday was the baby shower, and it was a blast! It was so fun to see friends and family who had traveled to be there. Awesome food. Awesome people. Awesome decorations. It was a definite success. Thank you to Hollis and my mom!

Here are just a few pics off of my phone and stolen from facebook!

Truly, thank you to everyone who came, and for all of the sweet presents you showered Bailey with.  She is one lucky little girl to have all you amazing people in her life!

When I got home from the shower, we all watched Home Alone and then Elf while my Aunt Marfi and I went through all of the presents and sorted everything out.  Bailey also received some hand me down clothes from Brooklyn (a friend she hasn't met yet!) and Lloyd freaked out on the clothes. He was rubbing his head against everything, especially this one pair of orange bloomers. It was hysterical, and therefore I had to capture the moment...

Everything is all put away in Bailey's room for the most part now.  Perhaps when I have more energy this weekend, I'll take some pics of her new wardrobe and other items now in her room! Seeing her room starting to fill with the essentials (diapers, wipes, baby wash) really made things real for me. Only six more weeks and this little girl will be here : )


Here is a bump picture.  Sidenote: I'm pretty sure my nose has changed shapes throughout this pregnancy. Apparently that happens to some people, lucky me.

How far along? 34 Weeks

Total weight gain: On track.  

Maternity clothes?  Yes. 

Stretch marks? No. My belly button is getting bigger though. It will never be an outtie but it's strange how big it's gotten. I hope it shrinks back to normal or else I'm going to have a permanent large belly button that is out of proportion with my short torso. 

Sleep:  So tired. All. The. Time.

Best moment this week: Putting Bailey's clothes in her closet. I also have another appointment tomorrow. Hearing her heartbeat is always awesome. 

Miss Anything?  Having energy. 

Food cravings: Nope. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Coffee has been sort of an issue this week. I think it gives me bad acid reflux, so I've laid off of it this week.

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms:  Some braxton hicks this week.  Yesterday she was quite the mover and managed to make her way, or some part of her, up into my rib cage. I was walking around/driving with my hands in the air just trying to make as much possible room in there for her. 

Belly Button in or out? In but again it's huge! Gross, I know.

Wedding rings on or off? on. They are starting to swell at night though. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Looking forward to: Hanging out all weekend and doing nothing. Won't have many more of those weekends pretty soon, so we've got to live them up while we can!

The baby is the size of:   A cantaloupe, weighing about 4.5 lbs and about 18 inches long.  She is just working on getting fat right now!    

Have a great weekend!
