34 Weeks: Bump Update

Week 34

June 9, 2014

size of baby: canteloupe, 17.7 inches, almost 5 lbs

total weight gain/loss: +18 

maternity clothes: This week was a new low. I waited until last minute to find a dress for my shower and it was totally depressing. Our maternity shop here is awful (you'd think itd be good since we live in such a big city...nope). Every dress I tried on was awful. I was a total whale. I went across the way and found a maxi dress at Old Navy. Granted, I needed an XS and they didn't have it so I was just hoping Mom would have time to take it up before the shower (she did). Anyways- we left the mall and I was happy but not thrilled. Nothing looks good. I just feel swollen and large. 

gender: It's a GIRL! She has a full name & I still LOVE it!! 

movement:  slow strong movements, I think she is running out of room. She is also super low yet (still carrying high) -- if that makes sense

sleep: still peeing all night- but when I am asleep I am out! (Snoring apparently...)

cravings: blueberry cake donuts, easy mac, crushed ice, water, fruit, ICEE's, snowcones, ICE ICE ICE

what I miss: my belly button (weird I know), getting out of bed/rolling over with ease

symptoms: swollen, crampy, braxton hicks, peeing all the time, backache, headache, no energy, blah, stuffy/bloody nose (this symptom has never gone away the whole pregnancy)

thoughts: 

• Got a fake ring this week : ) It's a beauty...hehe
• feeling the nesting bug- getting things done in her nursery
• went shopping and picked out all kinds of stuff- didn't buy any of it and when I went back to purchase what I couldn't stop thinking about...it was gone. Womp womp. Sad day. 
• got my hair dyed all over again- my hair color was so dull and my gray hairs were rather shiny....hmph (I'm too young to go gray!!!)
• Had our baby shower this weekend. It was ABSOLUTELY fabulous. My hostessess don't know how to do anything half way!! They went above and beyond!! Shower post to come later this week! 

Big Brother (Ascher) news: 

• Daddy went and got him a blow up pool and he lived in it a number of days. He LOVES being outside and playing in the water!
