Catching Up At 34 Weeks

Oh man, things have been a bit hectic around these parts the past couple of weeks.  There's a lot going on: Dr. appointments are becoming more frequent, we've had a number of family and friend events to attend, a baby shower happened, and hospital classes are starting up.  I knew June was going to be a busy month, and as a result it is going by really, really fast.  I've just been trying to enjoy every minute of it and take things day by day.

Speaking of that baby shower, it was lovely!  I am a very lucky girl.  My mom and sister put in so much work to make it a perfect celebration.  My friends and family are amazing.  I totally do not deserve so much love, but I appreciated every single moment of it more than I could ever express.  I got a few pictures from the celebration thanks to my awesome sister in law who capture a ton of moments I would have missed otherwise.

The color scheme was a gender-neutral yellow and grey.  Go team "no gender preference!"

The baby continues to grow fast.  My 33 week ultrasound revealed a healthy, strong, 4.5 lb baby!  I couldn't be more thankful for this little one, even though as the bump grows things continue to become more uncomfortable.  Walking long distances is tolerable, but not very fun.  Standing up for long periods of time is not preferable.  I'm grumpier than usual.  And my digestive system is shit right now.  But it is all worth it.  Baby is healthy, and I am happy for that. 

Symptoms: General uncomfortable-ness. 
Thoughts on Food: Ah, food.  I am definitely eating more nowadays.  I've noticed an increase in appetite.   The bad part is that my digestive system has sloooowwwed down big time. I eat and eat, and nothing comes out, if you know what I mean. It's SUPER annoying. 

Cravings: Nope, no cravings.  Just hungrier. 

Thankful For:  My wonderful family, friends, husband.  I am feeling the love and that makes me one happy mama.

Current Weight: 126.  The lbs are adding up much more quicker now!
