I've seen these on a number of different blogs, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Sorry there is not an accompanying picture. You should know by this point that we rarely photograph anything other than Sullivan and scenery.
How Far Along: 34 Weeks
Size of baby: About 4 and 3/4 pounds; almost 18 inches long. This means that she is almost done growing length wise, and just needs to pack on a few more pounds (please, not more than a few) before birth!
Maternity Clothes: Oh yeah. I can get away with a lot of summery, flowy-type dresses, but otherwise it's pretty much all maternity.
Gender: Girl! Although I do have recurring visions of hearing "it's a boy!" when she is born...
Movement: Homegirl is super squirmy pretty much all the time. She is especially active in the morning and at night. She is head down and I can typically tell where her back/butt are and where her legs are. Pretty stinkin' cool.
Sleep: I am wearing a tread in the carpet between our bed and the bathroom, but other than that, sleep is pretty good.
Cravings: It depends on the day, but on the whole, I crave ice water, chocolate, potatoes and citrus.
Symptoms: Rapidly expanding belly, check. Teensy tiny bladder, check. Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions, check.
Milestone: I think we have decided on a name! We still have part of the baby name book to go through, but I am 90% sure that we are set on a name. And I love it! I had been wondering throughout the pregnancy if there would be a magical "AHA" moment when we stumbled across THE name, and I am happy to report that there was one. Mwhaha but I'm not telling what it is! Stay tuned.
Appointment update: I am having more contractions than is considered normal, so the doc checked me out last week. Everything is still closed up nice and tight, which is good. We want you to cook for at least three more weeks baby girl! This week is my last "every two weeks appointment" and from here on out, I will be logging a lot of doctor's office time.
