34 WEEKS

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 34 Weeks

Size of Baby: Hardy is the size of a cantaloupe

(about 4 3/4 pounds)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 28 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Still love them, but this warmer

weather is really making me miss my summer wardrobe.

Gender: B-O-Y

Movement: In the beginning of my pregnancy I would

get so concerned if I did not feel him move after a while.

Now, I just wish the little guy would be still! It is

beginning to hurt when he moves around.

Sleep: Definitely lacking in my life right now,

but I have found that I sleep better in the afternoon

and that nap is helping me survive right now.

What I Miss: The ability to accomplish several tasks

a day. I am having a really hard time getting things done,

especially just simple household chores.

Cravings: Cheese and Crackers...The Laughing Cow

and I have become good friends recently!

Symptoms: Braxton Hicks contractions, heartburn,

nausea, and pain...my legs and back hurt so bad.

Best Moment of the Week: Surviving! With all

the bad weather that swept across the south, I am

just thankful that we are safe and alive. We also

got a few more things done in the nursery this

week and it's so exciting to see it come along.

I cannot believe that in a few short weeks

there will be a sweet baby boy sleeping in there.

My heart is overwhelmed with joy!
