Baby Bump Update: 34 weeks
Now it really seems like we’re in the home stretch. Only 4-8 weeks left to go! Although, I doubt I’ll make it 2 weeks past my due date, so I’m thinking it’s more like 4-6 weeks left. And I know, I know, every mom thinks they’re gonna go early, but I knew for sure I was going early with Cody and he ended up surprising us exactly 2 weeks before my “due date”.
The baby this week:
She sure likes to make her presence known! I’ve been feeling all sorts of jabs and kicks into my ribs. Definitely outgrowing her space! At my appointment last week she was measuring spot on and her heartbeat sounded great too. She’s still sitting pretty high and definitely hasn’t “dropped” yet. Some days I can’t wait for that to happen so I can breathe, other days I dread the pain that comes along with it!
How I feel:
I feel good for being 34 weeks pregnant. But of course, my energy has started to slack off a bit and carrying around this belly can make my back hurt quite a bit by the end of the day. Most days I do just fine, but days like yesterday when I had to go grocery shopping and run errands, well….let’s just say I was feeling it by the end of the night! But then again, hitting 4 stores with a 2 year old could wear anyone out!
The to-do list:
For me, it’s not getting short enough, fast enough, but with my limited capabilities I have to count on a certain man in my life to help me out. And since men don’t go through nesting, it can take some prodding! But I’m slowly filling up our freezer with baked goods and premade sauces to make things a bit easier after baby comes.
We’ve also got Cody downstairs in his new bedroom (which he had no problems at all with!). The only problem for me is that I now have to use a baby monitor while we sleep and then trudge downstairs to find out what he wants. But all in all the switch went extremely well.
Tonight we’ll also be picking up a dresser for the baby’s room to also use as a changing table. A dresser was much needed and we’ve been greatly blessed being able to buy it from a friend!
Everything is coming together and hopefully I can find some major energy spurts again and get some major baking done!
You look great! You are carrying your girl so much higher than I am carrying mine. She has stayed low for most of the pregnancy! You sure have popped out a bit more since your last photo, in a good way!! Our list is getting smaller I think… Getting big things done but adding more and more little things.
