34 Weeks

Well, well, well, look who's on time this week! ha!
Today we went in for our 34 week appointment and little man is doing great! My belly measured at 35 weeks, so the doctor remeasured because she didn't believe it! She says I don't look big enough to measure a week ahead, but the proof is in the numbers! Even though I'm measuring ahead, this doesn't change anything... next time we go in, he could be measuring on time or late. Therefore, anything is possible...



So this week, my veggie/fruit size source said that Michael is the size of a "durian fruit." Well, who the heck knows what that is?!? So we looked up how much this fruit weighs and how much he is supposed to weigh.... Lets just say we did a little bit of measuring on our own! Brandon and I definitely went into the produce dept. at the store and weighed all kinds of fruits and veggies to find the perfect match! Who knew a papaya weighs anywhere from 4-5 pounds?!? On top of it all, Brandon was taking each item and comparing it to my belly! I'm sure we looked hilarious!

How far along? 34 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 18 pounds
Maternity clothes? a few
Stretch Marks? Nope, still using my lotion religiously 
Sleep: sleep is getting a little harder each night. I find myself waking up fifty times a night, due to being uncomfortable. I have discovered that I MUST have a pillow to wrap my body around or else I'm incredibly sore the next morning. 
Best moment this week: we loved spending time with our families this weekend to celebrate many occasions. I really enjoyed Easter with our families, even though Bran had to work, and it got me really excited for next years Easter. 
Miss Anything? Being able to sleep on my stomach... I can't wait to jump on the bed and do a big belly flop!
Movement: Oh yea! His movements are getting bigger and bigger each day... I can't imagine what they'll be like in a week!
Food cravings: cereal.
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope
Gender: Baby Boy 
Pregnancy Symptoms: My stomach has become very tight over the past couple of days and I feel like there is a lot of pressure towards the bottom. I'm also becoming more and more forgetful... Brandon loves it! ha!
Belly Button in or out? Out 
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy Happy
Looking forward to: my shower this weekend and our maternity pictures on Monday! I can't wait to see all of our friends and family on Saturday!

For all you moms out there, tomorrow we're meeting with a Pediatrician to see if she's going to be Michaels doctor or not. I would love to go with some questions for her, but I don't even know where to begin! If you have ANY advice on questions I should ask her, please let me know!! You can email me or leave a comment.... But honestly I'd really appreciate any advice you can give.
