Happy Friday ladies! Another week down, putting us that much closer to meeting our little guy. I am still hoping he doesn't come any sooner than he needs to, though. While I found myself secretly hoping for a earlier rather than late delivery the first time around, this time I really would be content if this guy stayed in all the way up through his due date! Being uncomfortable a little bit longer will be totally worth it if it means being able to move into our new house while I am still on maternity leave! I am linking up with my favorite ladies today for some Friday fun, check out the links at the bottom of this post for more info!
How far along? 34 Weeks
How far along? 34 Weeks
Gender: Baby boy
Total weight gain: 27-28 pounds.
Maternity clothes? Mostly still getting by with these tank tops, these leggings, and these sweaters. These cold and wet past few weeks need to end so I can get comfortable in my dresses and skirts!!
Stretch marks? Not yet.
Belly button in or out: Pretty darn flat. Depending on the day, the top part is just barely starting to stick out..so weird!
Sleep: Still not so great. And still thanks to my first child. Will I ever sleep again!?
Exercise: Yes. Still squeezing in runs or walks about 3 days a week. Definitely have modified my runs though, cutting back from 3 miles to more like 2, and walking as much as I can to substitute. Also, still going strong with my arm workouts, let's see if I can get those babies toned up in time for tank top season!
Best moment this week: Getting our home appraisal back and setting a closing date! We will officially be starting construction SOOO soon!
Miss Anything? Breathing normally. Sleeping comfortably on my back. Just feeling normal, I hate feeling 'limited' and unable to do things physically!
Movement: Lots, as always up under my right ribs. I spend a lot of time pushing little knees and feet back in and away from my ribcage.
Food cravings: This week, I have been all about the Fruity Pebbles! I could literally put down an entire box in one serving, however I have refrained from doing so. As always, nothing beats a cold, fizzy Diet Coke.
Symptoms: Lower back pain and pelvic pressure. New in the last week or so, for the first time in either of my pregnancies, I have been getting very lightheaded when lying flat on my back. Since it has never been an issue I seriously don't even think about it, until all of the sudden I just feel funny and realize I definitely need to reposition to one of my sides.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Labor Signs: No. I was checked at my appointment this week, baby is still high and no dilation happening yet at all, which is good to hear. While I am pretty over being pregnant, with our whole moving situation, I want this little guy to stay put as long as possible!
Wedding rings on or off? On, from what I can tell I don't have too much swelling happening.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Just kind of 'eh' this week. It is April, it has been wet and cold and even a little snowy, and I am just ready for some sunshine and enjoying being outside!
Looking Forward To: I know it should be all about the baby in this section, but let's be real, we are about to start building our house! I am pretty sure I am going to cry when I first see the hole being dug.

Fruity Pebbles...yum!!! I could eat a whole box of those now and I'm not pregnant!!!

They are the best! I haven't been keeping stocked up because if they are in the house, they are in my belly immediately!
DeleteCongrats on getting things in line for the house -that's awesome!! You look great girl! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! We are super excited!
DeleteI craved cereal, too! You look so great!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but sugary cereal and pregnancy just go together!
DeleteBoth of my pregnancies I craved diet coke the entire time. You look so great!!
ReplyDeleteSomething about the fizziness is just too good to pass up..at least I do caffeine free most of the time! And thank you, at this point it means a lot to get those little compliments :-)
DeleteClosing date.. yay! Hope you get some sleep soon!

Still not sleeping..but lots of other exciting things we have to look forward to! :-)
DeleteYou look so darn cute! I miss my bump so bad! And yay for a flat belly button! Mine popped out crazily with both of my pregnancies and now it still looks weird!
ReplyDeleteAw thank you! I enjoy the bump but am also ready to trade it in for a baby :-) Fortunately even if my belly button pops in the final weeks I don't think I'll ever have the major 'sticking out'..so I won't complain!
DeleteThis is such an exciting time, cherish every moment! And hopefully you can get some rest soon :)
