34 weeks

Total weight gain: 30 pounds.
Maternity clothes? While Kins and I were in Washington visiting my parents I bought some maternity clothes, specifically maternity pants…why I waited so long I don’t know because I’m in heaven now!!! Well actually I do know why, because I don’t live around any stores where I could buy them but I still should have made it happen!! This is the first time I have worn maternity pants and I think it’s because of how low I’m carrying him. I’m still able to wear quite a few of my non-maternity clothes as well but I’m so grateful for my new pants!
Stretch marks? I’m pretty sure there are a couple new ones on my stomach but I’m really not worried about it at all. They fade to almost being gone when I’m done being preggers.
Sleep: I have absolutely no problem falling asleep, but I do wake up to switch sides and boy is that a challenge!
Best moment this week? We got new dressers!! Ian and I got much needed new ones, literally half of Ian’s drawers didn’t even work but more importantly we got one for the baby. I had a major melt down about not being ready for this baby and having nowhere to put his clothes so Ian came to the rescue and made me feel much better about being so close to our due date.
Miss anything? Washington and my family!! We had so much fun on our visit; It was really hard to leave.
Movement: He is such a calm baby, while inside of me at least. He moves around at certain times of the day but even then it’s hardly ever a full on kick it’s more him just flipping around or whatever babies do haha. He gets the hiccups almost every night which makes it a little hard to sleep but I can’t complain too much.
Food cravings: My Orange juice craving has come back around, other than that there’s really not that much.
Food aversions: Nothing.
Boy or girl:Boy J
Labor signs: No, But I have started getting Braxton hicks.
Belly Button in or out? It’s pretty much out now.
Wedding ring on or off? Off.
Looking forward to: Spending some time with my boys!! We’ve been gone for two weeks so I’ve missed them.
Fun facts: I am carrying this baby so ridiculously low, it feels like he’s going to fall out of me sometimes! I carried Kinsley pretty high and honestly I can’t remember how I carried Brody, but I’m pretty sure this is as low as I’ve ever carried, which factors into why I’m having to wear maternity pants this time around. I hate to admit it but I’m having a really hard time getting around anymore, I grab onto things to support myself often and I have a hard time getting up from a sitting position. Out of the blue the other day Ian told me “Hun, you’re no longer walker, you’re waddling”…thanks hun! Overall I am just extremely uncomfortable. Ok I just realized that none of those were really fun facts, so I’ll throw some actual fun ones in J

I have been horrible at doing these "weekly updates"...more like monthly lately haha. I just feel so huge and hardly ever feel good enough to take a picture of myself. But I'm going to try and just suck it up and do a better job of documenting this last month. This was a picture from this weekend so I figured I would use, not my normal weekly picture but it works :)
How far along? 34 weeks and 2 days.
Total weight gain: 30 pounds.

Symptoms: Strangely my fatigue
problems have gotten a little bit better. I don’t want to sleep ALL of the time
anymore, but I do get really tired physically if I do too much. My back hurts
soooo much at night and even worse in the morning when I wake up…in fact my
whole body aches so badly in the morning, which seems odd to me. My legs get so
sore throughout the day, especially up at the top, by then end of the night
sometimes I literally have to lift my leg up with my hands so move it a certain
way. Let’s just say my body is worn out!!! My heart burn is getting worse but there’s
no consistency as to what causes it. Acid reflex is in full blown as well…it’s
the worst and grossest thing ever!
Belly Button in or out? It’s pretty much out now.
Wedding ring on or off? Off.

While I was in Washington One of my friends gave me a TON of
adorable baby clothes, and I was able to get some of Brody’s too…I cannot say
how excited I am about all of this! I was getting really nervous about not
being ready for the baby so this helped ease my nerves. We also bought a
dresser this weekend for Kinsley and the baby to share as well as a cube
organizer for the kids little toys. Having two children in one room is hard
enough to figure out; three was stressing me out so getting this furniture was
such a relief!! I am still not feeling completely ready for the baby to come
but I’m definitely feeling better.
