34 weeks pregnantHow far along? 34 weeks and 5 days today.
Total weight gain/loss: Around 33. I had a huge weight gain at my last appointment, but I sincerely believe this is partially water retention. My feet, ankles, and calves are so swollen by the end of the day that they are tender. That has to be part of it, right? RIGHT?!
Maternity clothes? I just had to buy a new shirt today. Because for some reason 2 out of the 5 shirts I wear regularly have tiny holes in the belly. With one of the shirts its because my cat clawed me, and put the holes there. With another my ginormous belly grazed the side of the shopping cart and caught my shirt and pulled a hole. I really didnt want to buy anymore clothes, but what can you do?
Sleep: Hmm this week was a mixed bag. Some days this week were horrendous, and I barely slept. A couple of other days this week were actually good. I woke up feeling refreshed and couldnt remember waking up more than 2x throughout the night. Yes, that's right I was excited because I only woke up 2x. How wonderful, right?
Best moment this past week: Looking forward to my shower!!
Movement: He is definitely getting squished in there. He really doesnt kick as much as he used to, much more rolling and he LOVES to stick his butt out. It is amazing to me how he already has a "schedule." He is quiet in the morning until around mid-morning and wakes up for a little while. Then he is quiet again until after lunch when he wakes up to "eat." Then quiet again until early evening when he really starts to get rowdy. He is busy throughout the evening (on and off of course) and when I wake up at night I regularly feel him kicking around and moving during the night. I definitely have a night owl!
Food cravings: My very favorite thing to eat right now is roasted Tofurkey, w/ cheese, lettuce, and alfalfa sprouts on multi-grain bread. Sooo good!
Gender: Boy, John "Jake" Aaron.
Labor Signs: Well I have started having contractions sporadically this week. At least I think they are contractions, maybe they are Braxton Hicks contractions. I have been having BH contractions since 2nd trimester and they were never painful. The contractions I have been getting since Wednesday are similar (very) to period cramping. And they are very low in my pelvis (my BH's have been my entire uterus). I have been having at least a couple per day since Wednesday. This probably means absolutely nothing except that I get to experience the wonder of contractions for 5 more weeks. Yippee.
Belly Button in or out? Innie, maybe it will stay that way?
What I miss: There are so many things that I miss. This week its sleeping. I suspect I will miss sleeping for a very long time.
What I am looking forward to: Seeing my friends and family today at my shower. Such awesome women I have in my life!
Weekly Wisdom: Write things down. Because otherwise you will forget them due to "pregnant brain."
Milestones: 5 weeks left to go....37 days!!
