34 Week Bumpdate

34 Week Bump Shot

How far along?  34 weeks- 8 months- 3rd trimester  

Total weight gain: 148 lbs, up 1 lbs from last week... puts me at 23 lbs total so far. Feeling SO HUGE, even though a lot of people at work keep saying I look small to them (I don't know how!). But the Dr. told me yesterday I'm right where I should be- phew! 

Maternity clothes: Yes- wearing another ASOS maternity dress in this picture (I think this one was only $30). I love their maternity clothes- inexpensive and actually pretty comfortable and still stylish. What a pregnant mama wants! 

Stretch marks? Still nothing- feeling so lucky. Using Palmer's every day! 

Sleep: Same as it's been- tough! And everyone is saying "Sleep now, while you can" but that's nearly impossible between work and being uncomfortable. Oh well- all worth it for this Little One. 

Best moment this week: Landon's nursery is officially finished!!! (You can check out pics here.) Adam and I changed around our family room to be more "baby friendly." We put our TV above the mantle, and we got two storage shelving units (soon to hold a ton of baby gear and toys, I'm sure!). We also moved around our couches and got rid of a table and an old organ, so it opened up a lot of space. We also got a rug for in front of one of the couches, so Landon doesn't have to learn to crawl on hardwood floors. Priorities have sure changed! :)

Miss anything?  I've been dying to drink pop, and I'll try to just have one glass, but I swear I want to drink the entire 2 liters! haha

Movement:  Yes- the doctor said his head is down, and I can feel his sweet little bottom popping out at the top of my tummy above my belly button. He shifts it and his arms and legs from side to side throughout the day, so sometimes I feel his kicks on the right, and sometimes on the left. He's got to have some long legs though, because I swear his kicks are all the way down my side and into my back. I hope he hasn't popped open my womb in there! haha 

Food cravings: Popsicles (thanking Auntie Rachel for making me buy a big box when she was in town), pizza, chicken fingers, and cashews. The other day, I made a ziplock bag full of cashews before work. So crazy how you just want something so bad! 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Still seafood. My husband had a seafood feast on his NYC business trip, and even reading his texts about what he ate grossed me out, lol. 

Gender: Still BOY! 

Labor signs: Nesting, wanting everything clean and put away so bad! And definitely feeling every now and then an achy, almost period cramp like pain. But it goes away right after I move or change positions or go to the bathroom. They say a full bladder can make you cramp, so I'm trying to go as much as I can to prevent that feeling! 

Symptoms: Heartburn, frequent urination, exhaustion, backache, for the first time some leg cramps, acne (have a nice pimple on my forehead, which they say is to be expected this week since baby's testicles are dropping, so I guess your hormones rage!)

Belly button in or out? It's totally popped out! EEK!!!

Wedding rings on or off? Still on! I feel really lucky about that too! 

Happy or moody most of the time: This week, happy. Time is flying. I cannot believe how soon he'll be here. I told my husband today, what makes it super real is getting coupons in the mail that expire AFTER his due date. Like, this will actually be happening in about 5 weeks now (sorry, this post is a few days late). WE'RE SO EXCITED!!!!
