34 Weeks

How far along? 34 weeks

Total weight gain: 43 lbs.  To all of the loving men in my family that call me Judy...shut your face!

Blood pressure: normal

Baby's heartrate: 130-140 bpm

Symptoms: lots of pressure, cramping, sciatic nerve pain

Body changes: He has dropped therefore my belly has dropped and seems so much heavier now. My hands and feet swell at random times throughout the day.

Sleep: I have been watching DVR'd shows in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. It's a great way to catch up I guess!

Best moment this week: Taking maternity photos on Sunday. As uncomfortable as I am, I wouldn't wish this time away for anything and I'm glad that we have those pictures to remember it.

Movement: Still moving a lot and he is strong!

Food cravings: Caramel deLites

What I miss: I'm not supposed to pick Hayden up anymore and I already miss that. :(

What I am looking forward to: going to San Angelo one last time this weekend to see family and friends and my shower!

Weekly Wisdom: Just because you are pregnant does NOT mean you are not allowed to think or feel without being accused of being hormonal. Maybe people need to quit looking for something to blame.

Milestones: Baby boy is no longer in my ribs and I can breathe! I have started to dilate a little and we are ready anytime after February 18th!

Confessions of a Working Mom: I don't think Hayden's hair has been brushed since we went to church on Sunday. Washed, yes...brushed, not so much. And you have seen that child's crazy hair.
