34 Weeks

How Far Along:  As always (lately) I am posting this a week late, 34 Weeks Along. Baby girl should be close to weighing in at 5 whole pounds and 20 inches long. She is the size of a cantaloupe.



How I'm Feeling: Mentally and Emotionally, I am ready to meet our little beauty.

 Physically, As I've said before I have had a pretty "easy" pregnancy with no serious complaints, as the countdown gets closer to the BIG day I am having some uncomfortable moments so I'll just share what I'm experiencing maybe you'll be able to relate...
  • Braxton hicks (STILL painless and spontaneous).
  • Back pain (possibly the way she is positioned)
  • VERY Itchy Belly (Due to a growing baby but I am using lots of coconut oil as moisturizer)
  • Midnight and 3AM bathroom runs.(Which I think is preparing me for feeding times)
  • Heartburn, I've had the entire time. (Hopefully she is born with hair, according to an old wives tale)
  • Her movements are much more noticeable which I believe is because she is starting to run out of room in there. (Which would cause me to become anxious and move a lot too)
  • INSOMNIA, Pinterest has become my best friend when I can seem to get back to sleep after those bathroom runs or just have trouble falling asleep.
  • Vision problems :: Holy crap I though I had blurry vision before pregnancy (which I wear glasses for to drive) but now its all the time, THANKS HORMONES! (The doctor said it will return to normal after she arrives.)
  • Leg cramps (YUCK!) I hate these with a passion. ( My friend recommended that I DRINK COCONUT WATER and let me just say if you are getting these go get some... its helps so much!!)
Weight Gain/Loss: I weighed myself on the scale at work last week and it said I am up to 20lb weight gain... (we shall see at my next appointment).

My little baby bump!!

Cravings: No crazy cravings this week...

Gender: Baby girl!

What I Miss: I miss... my body, sleeping comfortable, not having back pain... the list could go on forever but the truth is I wouldn't have it any other way!!!

What I Am Looking Forward Too: Our 35 week sonogram on FRIDAY!









Other News: Our 2nd and last baby shower was this week. It was ABSOLUTELY beautiful and perfect. Charlotte is beyond loved and spoiled already... I'll be sharing more pictures from the shower soon, but here are some highlights!!
