Week 34

week: thirty four

fruit size of baby:  coconut

cravings: lemons, grapefruit, limes (anything citrus), blueberries, lemonade

aversions: don't really have any aversions lately

weight gain: 26.5 lbs

exercise: walking two times a day on my breaks at work and prenatal yoga stretches. stairs are getting really hard to climb without taking a break.

sleep: i've actually been sleeping really well lately. i am so exhausted by the end of the day i fall asleep and barely wake up enough to get up and use the bathroom.

belly: continuing to grow each week! three tiny stretch marks on my left side, but they are very faint. 

clothes: i can no longer zip my winter coat and the two buttons i can button are about to burst open lately. i was able to wear a non maternity top this weekend... before i was pregnant it was a longer shirt to wear with leggings. now it's just a shirt.

movement: her movements are very visible on the outside now. when she hears andrew talk she will move to the side of my belly he is on.

gender: we are having a baby girl and i can't wait to meet her and see what she looks like!

names: we have a list that we are still narrowing down.

worries: that little lady will come early. hoping she at least stays in there until Easter.

what i love: how excited drew is for her to come and imagining with him what she will look like 

what i am looking forward to: my side family/friend shower next weekend, warmer temperatures, summer when drew and i will both be off work learning what it looks like to be a family of three

milestones: passing my glucose test finally!

best moment of the week: getting our insurance figured out after a very stressful couple months of them telling us we wouldn't be able to deliver where my midwife delivers. taking maternity pictures. can't wait to get them back and share them with you all!

amusing comments from the general public: people continuing to comment on how big my belly is. a guy i work with asked me how many weeks i have left. i told him about 6. his eyes got huge and he replied, "there is no way you are going to make it that many more weeks! there's nowhere for her to go but out (as in be born) at this point!"

baby mama drama: since september we had arrangements to get a crib, glider rocker, changing table and dresser from someone only to find out they sold it two days before we had arranged to pick it up. we are now in search of those items.
