week 34

Week: 34

Weight gain: I've been told that I look "great" and "all baby" which I guess translates into I haven't turned into a whale, so I consider that a weight gain success even though I've gained more that I would have liked (but not by much!)

Clothing: wearing anything comfortable! grateful it's not getting too hot yet bc I can't bare the thought of shorts...

Best moment so far: touring the hospital last week

Movement: I can now feel him move even when I'm standing up, he must be getting cramped in there!

Food cravings: no real cravings, just hungry ALL the time!

Symptoms: swollen feet, starting to get out of breath very easily, swollen hands, heartburn/indigestion, starting to feel some pressure down low as he settles into a head-down position, pain in my ribs as he kicks/pushes me

Feeling: excited! the car seats are installed and my hospital bag has been started

Sleep: I've slept pretty well this past week, thank goodness! grateful for that since I'm pretty much miserable during the day

Rings: still off until after baby comes

Things I miss: my ribs and back not hurting :(

Baby is the size of a butternut squash this week, 5 lbs and 18-19 inches long. I took out the tape measure the other day, that's long!! He's close to his "birth length" now and will just keep on adding weight until he comes.

Chris' bet is that he'll be here before Memorial Day- May 25. We'll see if he's right!
