34 Weeks

Size of Baby: According to Baby Center, about the size of a cantaloupe…  about 4 3/4 pounds and 18 inches long!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Up about 21 pounds now.

Maternity Clothes: There are probably 4-5 things that fit me right now…partially because I’m big, and partially because it’s warm outside and I don’t have too many warm weather clothes. 

Gender: It’s a GIRL!  Emma Ramey

Belly Button In/Out: Definitely flat…not sticking out out yet though (every once in a while, but mostly just flat).  I do have to share this – I went through a phase when I was 18 that I thought belly button rings were cool, and have the scar to show it to this day…I know.  The part that was pierced is starting to stretch a lot…like to the point where it looks like 1 big scar instead of the normal 2 little scars.  Scary looking!

Stretch Marks: Besides the tragic belly button ring thing, nothing!  I’ve been really lucky.

Movement: Still lots of big movements…there are nights where I think she’s trying to bust out!  I can definitely still tell she moves more when I have sugar (note to self…), and much more at night.

Sleep: Not bad…I just miss sleeping on my stomach…I feel like if I could just turn over I’d sleep so much better!

What I miss: Moving, sleeping comfortably…I love being pregnant, but I will like to function again. 🙂

What I am looking forward to: Maternity pictures are next week, and we start having weekly check-ups to see how I’m progressing!  I can’t wait to see what these Braxton Hicks have been doing for the past couple of months!

Cravings/Aversions: Just still SO thirsty!

Symptoms: Still stronger Braxton Hicks, waddling, back aches and leg aches, especially at night.  And the ankles…they have decided to start doing this in the past couple of days…

Please ignore the toes that are in desperate need of a pedicure.  My fingers are doing it too, but not as extreme.  Makes walking very uncomfortable by the end of the day!

Best Moment This Week: Our shower…this is one loved little girl!
