Week 34.... side view
Crazy hair week 34
And here is an extra one just for fun... a full view of mr. bump. I think I am trying to find my toes ;)
How far along? 34 weeks 5 days
Baby is the size of a(n): Medium honeydew melon. He is about 18.5 inches long and about 5 lbs.
Changes in me: Braxton hicks are occuring about once or twice a day now. Not too bad but I definitely notice them. The worse is when I am really hungry and trying to eat and my belly decides now is the time to practice. I love reading about braxton hicks in books and how they say things like "you won't even feel them" or "most women don't even know they have had one" ummm I dont know where these books get their facts cause I definitel notice and feel them.
Food cravings: Pineapple, chocolate, and mexican food. Great combo ;) I have been eating 2-3 pineapples a week. Me and my baby love them but my mouth on the otherhand doesn't. I wish someone would invent a pineapple without citric acid, then I would eat one a day. I also have been drinking alot of chocolate milk and the other day I had a moment of insanity at the store and bought chocolate soy milk.... it doesn't compare at all. I was quite bummed. So today I am going out to buy real chocolate milk.
Sleeping: I feel like this week I have been more tired than at any point in my pregnancy. I try to nap all the time but I soon as I close my eyes little man bounces on my bladder or shoots heels at my ribs. Oh well, I guess he is preparing me for when he enters our world.
Milestones: Little man can fully survive outside the womb now! He is just gaining weight in there and enjoying his time in the quiet of my womb...although it really isn't that quiet in there but at least he is protected from the crazy world we live in at least for a few more weeks.
Babies activity: He moves alot. A few nights ago he got the hiccups for like 20 minutes and it was really fun but it was right on my bladder. I think when he gets them that way I may just live in the bathroom. I never have had to concentrate so hard on not peeing myself as I do when he has the hiccups. And last night hubs fell asleep with his hand across my belly and baby boy decided to kick daddy until he moved his arm, after 15 minutes of it I decided to just roll away. I love the personality little man has!
Interesting things that happened this past week: Well this isn't the most interesting thing but it's the thing I have been noticing most. This week I have had numerous people come up to me and guess when I am due. It is quite an interesting thing to do. I mean I would never think to walk up to a wobbly pregnant woman and say "Oh looks like you are getting close to popping, you're probably due in the next 2 weeks or so right?" I normally just laugh it off and say no I'm not due til June 13th but I have loved being pregnant so he can stay in there for awhile. BUT in my head I am saying I'm not a turkey... I'm not going to pop and no I am not that huge to be due in 2 weeks. Please if you are ever with me and I see a pregnant woman and begin to predict when she is due smack me. Some people are really sweet about it and I know they are just curious but please refrain from guessing when I am due, unless you are going to say July or something ;)
You're getting SO close! I was one of those women who could never tell they were having braxton hicks. Matter of fact, I didn't even know what contractions felt like until I had to go in for NST's and they showed up on the machine thingy. Then, one day I had really bad lower back pain and went in and was having contractions fairly close together, but after walking they stopped. Just call me clueless! Now, when my epidural didn't work and I was in active labor...I felt those... ;)
ReplyDeleteMmmm, pineapple. I love it.
Can't wait to see that sweet baby boys face!
Cute blog, Kelly! I just read your comment about doing the gdiapers. I agree, they are super cute and I'm tempted to buy a few! I will also definitely check out diapers.com, thanks for the tip! I just had to laugh when I read that you eat 2-3 pineapples a week because I have been doing the same thing!! I get sores in my mouth because I eat too many, oh well at least it's healthy! It must be a weird pregnant thing. Good luck with the end of your pregnancy!!
ReplyDeleteYou ARE so close! Woohoo! He's going to be super cute! You look great and your hair doesn't look crazy to me. BH felt like period cramps to me. Not really painful but I totally felt them!
ReplyDeleteyou look so stinkin' cute!!! happy 34 weeks! we are very close... i'm 36 weeks! : )
ReplyDeleteI was just going to say that you don't look like you are 34 weeks! You look way too good! How is that even possible? I can only hope to look as good as you at 30 weeks! (When ever that comes.) Your jeans are crazy good.
