34 Weeks

I thought I'd do a quick update on this seemingly never ending pregnancy journey...which now that I can't get off of the couch, seems longer than never ending!

There will be no picture with this post. Since I'm on partial bed rest, that means I don't get out of my p.j.'s and my hair doesn't come out of it's pony tail. I do, however, still brush my teeth.

Here's the lowdown...

Weight gain: Let's not even go there! I will say that since Christmas, I haven't had much of an appetite, so I haven't gained any more since then. And I suppose I should be happy with the numbers, since they're considerably lower than with Brady...at this point with him, I was gaining about 2 lbs. per week!

Stretch Marks: All I can say is I must have some awesome elasticity to my skin! I don't know how any body could expand this much (or as much as it did with Brady) and not have a single stretch mark, but it doesn't. Thanks Mom & Dad for the great genes!

Belly Button: Still sittin' tight as an innie! This makes me happier than you know! :)

Clothes: My tops seem to be shrinking! Good thing I only need to wear p.j.'s for the next couple of weeks!

Sleep: Not so much. Although, this has improved since getting the Ambien.

Labor Signs: Unwanted, painful, much too regular contractions that have sent me to labor & delivery twice in the last week. Apparently, my body wants to expel my child. Thankfully, he's stubborn and isn't coming just yet.

Baby Movement: Oh, yeah! This kid thinks he's on Soul Train!

Cravings: Like I said, not much of an appetite. I have worse cravings when I'm not pregnant.

What I Miss Most: It's a toss up. (1) Living without burning stomach muscle pain and searing back spasms. (2) My waist.
