34 Weeks!!



6 WEEKS TO GO!!

So, Im still feeling really great.  We got our carpets cleaned over 4th of July weekend.  EVERY cupboard and drawers and closet has been gone thru and cleaned and organized.  Now we are starting to open baby equipment.  We also celebrated our 1st anniversary this past weekend. This last year has gone by soooo fast and it has been one of the best years of my life.  We celebrated by watching our wedding video and cooking a nice dinner at home (shrimp skewers and mediteraenan salad) YUM!! It was a perfect anniversary. 
I went to the doctor today and everything is coming along great. Blood pressure was perfect, baby's heart rate was 137, and uterine measurement is 32cm at 34 weeks (which is -2 but normal). I start getting checked for progress in 2 weeks. 

How Far Along: 34 Weeks!! 
Size of baby: Almost 5 lbs and 18 inches long
Total Weight Gained:  19 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: YES and I am in larger scrubs bottoms now.  My hips and ass are getting quite large. It better be true that they go back to normal.  
Movement: A lot of movement and this little baby is strong. 
What I miss: Breathing.  I get really short of breath and then get a little worked up.
Cravings: Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese- cut right off the block.
Aversions/Annoyances: Work, not anything in particualr just the fact that I have to be there.
Symptoms: My heals are starting to crack from the extra weight. Im going to have old lady feet soon.
Best Moment this week:  When Anthony asked me, "When does the baby open its eyes?" HAHAHA!! It still cracks me up.  He said he wasnt thinking and he knew that they were born with their eyes open but the fact that he asked was soooo cute!!


How your baby's growing
Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies. http://www.babycenter.com/
