34 weeks

34 weeks with Brandon.


34 weeks with baby b. Love Brandon's expression in the background.


Am I bigger? Same size? Smaller?

Baby is the size of a cantaloupe
Sorry there was no update last week cause I was having a blast in Durango.

Symptoms:
Skin stretching at the top of my belly: Hurts so bad!
Can't bend over anymore: Get sharp pains when I do so.
Heartburn
Hip pain: Haven't gone to the chiropractor yet. I am hoping to go tomorrow.
Nesting: Have spurts of energy to get things done but get tired pretty easily.
Swelling in my feet: Not as bad as with Brandon but when I am on my feet alot and walking, they swell.

Cravings:
Don't have much of an appetite. Don't eat a lot. Nothing really tastes good to me

Movement:
Lots! He loves to stretch and kick my ribs and bladder at the same time. He takes up a lot of room!

Thoughts:
I just had a vacation with my family and it was so nice to get away for some time. Now that we are back, I am so ready for our little one to come. I am ready to see his face, what he looks like, and how big he is. I am so ready to not be kicked on the inside and to sleep on my belly again. I am excited to nurse and cuddle with my little guy. I am also excited to see how Brandon reacts to him. I guess I feel a lot farther a long than I am so I feel like he sould come any day but I need to be patient. I need to cherish these last days with my hubby, and my son! My day is filled with cuddles, kisses, and endless babbling. I need to focus on Brandon at the time being and God will bring our little one when it is time.

All my friends are having their babies and I am so excited for them
Dr Appointment:

Heartrate: 124 bpm
Blood pressure: 108/64
Measure: 34 cm
Weight: + 12 lbs pre pregnancy. Surprising with all the junk food I ate on our trip.

Dr says that baby is in the 87th percentile. She says he isn't huge but he isn't small either. His kidneys are still backed up. The Dr says that it normally goes away at birth which is what happened with Brandon. She will notify the hospital and they will most likely do an ultrasound on him in the hospital. God is in control and I know that everything is going to be just fine.

She talked about at 38 weeks trying to do things like stripping my membranes to get me going since he is so big. She says at 36 weeks she wont stop the labor but she also wont force thing to happen either. At 37 weeks she will start checking my cervix to see if there is any progress.

I have two 2 week appointments and then I am going to go every week. By then I will be 37 weeks so we will check my progress. I am so excited that it is getting close to the end.
