34 Weeks

 

 How far along? 34 Weeks 1 day

• Baby Size: Hogan is about the size of a cabbage. 5 lbs (estimate) 19-22 inches (estimate)

• Weight gain: 15 pounds

• Maternity Clothes: I've worn maternity jeans all week, thanks to my principal, but I think I prefer the maxi dresses, and skirts.

• Stretch Marks: No, I'm still using Mama Bee Tummy butter and oil every day.

• Sleep: It's still somewhat difficult to get comfortable enough to fall asleep, but once I do, I am sleeping well. Some nights I get up to use the restroom more than others, but I don't mind.

• Gender: Girl

• Movement: Lots of movement, little girl is now kicking my ribs, and sometimes when I tickle my belly or poke her she will poke me back. It's such an amazing feeling. I love her so much!

• Best moment this week: Surviving back to school! It's been a lot better than I thought it would be, and the days do go by quickly which is nice.

• Looking forward to: Packing my hospital bag, and her diaper bag. I've decided on her going home gown, I can't wait to get it from Blake's mom!

• Food Cravings: Our PTO catered lunch one day and had these incredible looking chocolate and caramel brownies for desert. I've been craving those and bottled water!

• Anything making you queasy or sick: I've been feeling pretty good. I did have swollen ankles after work yesterday, they look so weird, it's crazy. My back pain has gotten better, but I am still soaking in the tub each night, which feels amazing.

• Labor Signs: None.
