Bumpdate: 34 Weeks

How far along: 34 weeks! Actually, 35 tomorrow, because I am putting this up so late.

How big is baby: Fruit and veggie scale says cantaloupe.

Weight gain: Eh.  Fine I guess.  I feel bigger every day and this was confirmed at my doctor's appointment.  I have gained 4 pounds since my appointment last week.  I did keep my boots on when I weighed myself, so I am telling myself that is why and not because I am eating pints of icecream for dinner.   My mom saw me Thursday and thought I looked bigger than when she saw me on Sunday.

 Sleeping:  I am exhausted and have fallen asleep very early several nights this week.  I am not resting very well but it could be worse.

Food Cravings: McDonald's.  Gross I know but I want it.

Food Aversions: Anything from the deep fryer still.

Other symptoms: Pelvic pressure and achiness.  Braxton hicks contractions.  Absentmindedness (I left a ricecooker on last week and left for Scouts.  When Ryan came home the house was filled with smoke and the smoke alarm was going off.  Scary!).  Weird dreams-- I dreamed one of my parents at school stole the baby.  Moodiness, tearfulness, etc.

Miss Anything? Energy.  Bending in half.  I'm a broken record I know but that is life right now.

Doctor’s appointment: I had one yesterday.  Not too exciting.  I have also started seeing a chiropractor to help with the painful "locking up" thing that keeps happening each night.  She adjusted me and I felt instant relief.  I had some stiffness that night and the next morning but definitely improved-- no more Frankenstien walk.  I go back next week for another adjustment.

Wedding Rings: Off.  I am scared to put them on now.  

Clothes: Same boring five outfits and I don't even care.  Cuteness is no longer a consideration.  Is it clean?  Does it cover the belly?  That's really all I need.

Movement: Lots but it feels more like squirming and less like kicking.  She is cramped.'

Best moment of the week: Lots of nice moments this past week but the best would have to be getting some spa treatments as part of my Pregnant and Glowing spa treatment my sister so sweetly arranged.  It was such a surprise to open that gift card in the mail.  She is the SWEETEST.  The massage and pedicure were heavenly.  I am saving the facial for closer to the baby's arrival.

What I’m looking forward to: some time with family for the holidays and a few days off of school!

What I did / Got for baby:   I got started packing my hospital bag.  It isn't finished, but I could survive off of what I packed I think.  It made it seem a lot more real!  Baby girl will be here one month from today!
