34 Weeks


Baby Size: Baby is as big as a pineapple this week, and poking around like one too.
Total weight gain: Not positive, I think it depends on the day and how much water I am holding on to.
Maternity clothes? Same few outfits 
Stretch marks? Nothing new
Sleep: Sleep has been the worst it has been in a while. Tossing and turning from side to side mostly and if I wake up my brain doesn't shut back off.
Best moment this week: Finally went out with my mom and grandma and got a few baby things. Now we can get some bags packed.
Miss Anything? Sleep
Movement:  Yes lots!
Food cravings:  Just one time things, this week was Chicken Alfredo, ate it and now I'm over it.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Coffee is still not great and I can't eat anything to sweet for breakfast.
Gender:  Still mostly think girl but I don't feel solid on either gender anymore.
Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Heartburn, general discomfort.
Belly Button in or out? Mostly out.
Wedding rings on or off? On but I can definitely tell when my fingers are puffy.
Looking forward to: Weekly doctors appointments now, not particularly excitedd for that part but hearing the heartbeat and seeing how this belly is growing.

33 Weeks



Baby Size: Baby is the size of a butternut squash.
Total weight gain: About 18 pounds at my appointment on Tuesday.
Maternity clothes? Yes, pants. All uncomfortable at this point.
Stretch marks? Nothing new.
Sleep: Sleep is on and off.  Sometimes great sometimes terrible
Best moment this week: We painted Blake's new bed so we could convert hers back into the crib.
Miss Anything? Comfort. And the ability to just stand up from the floor.
Movement: Lots of movement but also I have noticed a slow down.  I think between running out of room and a more consistent sleep wake cycle baby is just moving at certain times of day.
Food cravings:  Cookies! But I had some and now I'm over it.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Coffee still.
Gender:  Still mostly think girl.
Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Heartburn, braxton hicks, round ligament pain.
Belly Button in or out? Inish outish .
Wedding rings on or off? On, but my fingers have been more swollen this week.
Looking forward to: Getting the diaper bag I ordered and getting some things around. Its hard to think about packing when you don't know if a boy or girl will be coming home with you or if it's going to be a nice fall day or a blizzard.

30 and 31 Weeks





Late to post last week as usual.  We got home late from camping on Monday and then it was a scramble to get the kids clean and back to school ready. Kindergarten is really taking it's toll on this Mom's routine. YEESH! 

Baby Size:  At 30 weeks baby was about the size of a big bunch of broccoli and at 31 about the size of a coconut.
Total weight gain: I was at the doctor on Thursday and dropped a little of I was sitting at a total of 16 pounds.
Maternity clothes? Yes rotating most of the same outfits around now.
Stretch marks? Nothing new.
Sleep: Sleep is okay. Not always great, but not always terrible either.
Best moment this week: Hearing that heartbeat and getting to see Mark for more than a couple sleepy hours.
Miss Anything? A really good sweaty hard workout.  I've really had to watch the heat at the gym this summer.
Movement: Yes lots. 
Food cravings:  Some chocolate cover raisins!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Coffee as been a little meh lately. 
Gender:  I honestly don't know anymore. Most of me still feels like it's a girl but I've wondered more and more lately.  Plus baby had a super low heart rate so if old wives are true it might be a boy.
Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Some heartburn, round ligament pain, late day swelling, irritability...does that count as a symptom??
Belly Button in or out? Half and half.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: Tomorrow we go for a 3D/4D ultrasound. It will be fun to see that sweet face.
