34 Week Check Up

Today I went to see Dr. G.  Everything looks normal and I go back in 2 weeks for my 36 week check up and from there I start my weekly visits.  Heavens, this is going so fast!

Now, a little questionnaire about week 34...

Maternity Clothes: uh, yes. And who designs these things anyways!  Nothing fits.  For work, I have a (yes, a...ONE PAIR) trusty pair of black pants and at home- the ever faithful yoga pants.  In my next life, I'm going to design materinty clothes for REAL pregnant women because whats in the stores will only fit if you are 6 feet tall and 100 lbs...and, well, that's not me!

Sleep: Need some.  I haven't slept good since the Friday we got tons of snow!  Ever since, I've been up and down a million times a night either going to the bathroom or drinking maalox and eating tums.

Best Moment of the Week:  Spending time with Lance and Kirby just the 3 of us.  We don't have much longer where we can do that.

Movement: Lots!  Easton is a very active little boy.  "They" say your baby is the most active between 24 and 28 weeks but I haven't felt any difference- he's just as active as ever- and strong too!

Food Craving: Not so much a craving, but I eat a lot of cereal.  Breakfast and lunch sits well but dinner does not, which leads me to the box of Frosted Mini Wheats every night!  I figure it's good for the fiber and the calcium in the milk. 

Food aversions: We're going to call this one DRINK aversions.  I cannot drink Dr. Pepper anymore.  It was a sad day when I figured out this was causing some of my heartburn. It is my favorite drink in the world but it gives me indigestion like you cannot believe.  I can't wait for the day when I can have a big styrofoam cup full of DP!  MMMMM!!!!!! For now, it's sweet tea, water and cranberry juice.

Ailments: Heartburn\Indigestion at night- lower back pain

Labor Signs: May have experienced some Braxton Hicks contractions but I'm not sure what they feel like, so I'm not sure if I'm having them...

Belly Button:  now I sport an outie- 'nuff said

What I miss: getting ready with somewhat ease, painting my own toes, clear skin...

What I'm looking forward to:  besides holding my little bundle in my arms of course, eating turkey sandwiches, drinking DP, going to the tanning bed- however it'll be sunny soon after I deliver so hopefully we'll be on the deck\at the pool soaking up some rays- Lord, I hope he doesn't have fair skin!

Weekly Wisdom: Remember each moment- good or bad.  I am so very fortunate and honored to be able to carry a child and I know many can't do that.  This is a GIFT from God!
