This one is going to be short. I'm really late even writing this- we had a final push at work to try to get some testing done before the holidays (and the team is continuing over the holidays but I have to use vacation, they don't let us carry over). I'm actually writing this at 34 weeks 2-3 days and in the middle of the night because the baby is moving so much I'm not sleeping (but that will need to go in my 35 week post!)

| 34 weeks 2 days |
Size of baby: A butternut squash and measures 33 cm or 13 inches, crown to rump length. Head to toe is almost 18 inches. The baby also weighs 2350-2550 grams or 5.2-5.6 pounds.
Maternity Clothes: All maternity clothes now.
Gender: It's a boy!
Movement: He is definitely very active. He did move so his head is down now, yay! I noticed actually right around 33 weeks or 33 weeks 1 day, and the midwife confirmed it at my appointment. (She also showed me where/how he is laying and wow he's already so big, that just made me nervous about him coming OUT.) So now kicks are more up towards the top and in the middle. Although he still seems to shift to the sides but it's more in the corners now. I'm sure I'm not doing a very good job describing this.
Sleep: I have not been sleeping well. One night is ok but it's just because I'm so exhausted. And part of the sleep problem is work- for the most part I've been able to leave work at work but one night I woke up thinking about how to take care of an item and couldn't fall back asleep.
What I miss: Good sleep!
Cravings: I keep saying anything sweet but I'm still thinking I don't really have cravings. I've been loving my peppermint milkshakes from Chick Fil A. YUM.
Aversions: None.
Symptoms: I'm getting bigger... And more achy... and more tired.
Best moment this week: Most of the week has been working and weird hours. But this past weekend was a Christmas party with friends and that was fun. They had it earlier (thank you!) so we were able to be home by my now bedtime of 9pm. As soon as we got home I was in bed and asleep. And one of my presents was these cute handmade burp cloths! I love baby stuff.
I didn't sleep well last night. But what's weird is one of my dreams had you having your baby. And you texted me right away after :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I will text you afterwards! But it's going to be at least another month probably. It's funny you had a dream about me having the baby.
DeleteWell in the dream it wasn't early. Also I lived much closer like in the Pittsburgh area but not in the houses I've lived there. My current apartment was there.
DeleteSo while my mom was waiting to do a google+ hangout with me on Christmas she showed all my relatives the collage I made of each week of you being pregnant. I had emailed it to her the day before when we were talking about people being pregnant. Then later she told me they saw enough pictures when I wanted to show them some of me! My cousin had a baby 6 months ago and I guess they were more interested. They were surprised how little you looked pregnant until about 20 weeks.
