34 weeks

34 weeks- Yay! :)

Pregnancy Stats:

How far along: 34 weeks

Size of baby: Average cantaloupe

Total Weight Gain: 6 lbs

Gender: Darling baby girl

Movement: SUPER active!! She moves more later at night 9-11. She doesn’t like for stuff to be on belly, She will try to kick, elbow, push or roll anything off of it!! Jerry trips out over it. I find it adorable.

Sleep: What is this sleep you speak of? usually the last time I look at the clock is between 11:30-1 then up every thirty minutes to an hour. Im just SUPER uncomfortable.

What I miss: being able to do whatever I want when ever I want. Can’t just jump up and run to town or go walking or work in the yard because if I move around to much I start to contract and my back and feet KILL ME!!

Cravings: Easy Mac, Easy Mac, oh and Easy Mac!!

Symptoms: Anxiousness, TIRED, back & feet are in PAIN, & Stomach feels as if its going to rip apart if it gets any bigger.

Best moment this week: Bliss kicking wolverine (our dog) because he was laying on my stomach! :)

Goodies that arrived in the mail today:

Burp clothes - Esty.com

Wearing:

Dress- Target
Wedges- Target.

Happy Saturday!!

I can’t even fathom at how happy I am right now! Last week I emailed Kristin at http://www.projectbabyblog.com/, and asked her how she merged her pictures together; She emailed me back and gave me a couple of pointers and guess what I figure it out!! It took me a little while, but It finally got it done! Lol I’m not going to lie I’m so happy I could cry because I tried earlier in the week but I was just getting frustrated and annoyed so I called it quits and today I was like lets try it again & I succeed. YAY me!!! :)

I’m super happy it’s friday, I have a lot of plans for this week.

Tonight going to the track to run the Camaro.

Tomorrow- I will be 34 weeks. : ] Finish setting up the nursery which will be an all weekend chore because there is a lot to do still.

Put her Chester drawer together.
Hang curtains.
Hang Pictures.
Organize closet
Finish washing all her clothes & blankets.

I still have some shopping to do for her room but it isn’t anything to stress about.

Im going to go get ready to head to the track, hope everyone has a safe, joyful weekend!

Love,

Tarah

Pregnancy update

Today I have been busy fixing my blog and had a doctors appointment.

Pregnancy Update:

33 almost 34 weeks

Weight-Haven’t gained anymore yet, Doctor said I need to eat more or he is going to put me on a special diet. I eat till I am full what else can I do??

Dilated to a 2.

Bed Rest still.

He also said that he wants to keep her in there over my due date because she is so small so he is going to do everything he can to keep her in there. Ughh I just can’t image going over my due date cause I feel as if I’m going to explode right now. Im so uncomfortable, my back and feet are killing me, but if it helps Bliss I will do it. I didn’t say I wouldn’t bitch about it but I’ll do it! :)

As for her movement, goodness she is SUPER active last night Jerry was going crazy cause she was pushing her hand or foot out and you could see my belly stretching out. Also wolverine came and sat down on my tummy and she started kicking/hitting him, it was the funniest thing ever, Wolverine jumped up and just looked at my belly like what in the world was that!!

Well thats all for now.
