34 Weeks

Size of baby: According to babycenter.com the baby is about the size of a cantaloupe (this feels about right)

Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds and is almost 18 inches long (pfft i am thinking that this weight estimate is not even close). His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his 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

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +28 pounds approximately. I have actually slowed down on weight gain these last few weeks which i find shocking considering how hungry i feel all of the time.

Maternity Clothes: Yep and I'm already sick of the few outfits that I keep having to rotate but I refuse to buy more clothes to just wear for a month.

Gender: BOY!

Movement: He still moves pretty consistantly although i expect that he is running out of room in there.

What I miss: Being able to roll over easily in bed, put my shoes on without a struggly and just generally being able to move around without discomfort.

Sleep: I have actually had a few issues this week with falling asleep which is very unlike me.

Symptoms: Same as always. Back pain, my feet hurt,

Cravings: I'm ALWAYS thirsty.

Best Moment this week: Washing all the baby blankets and a lot of the clothes-Nesting has kicked in full force. Also, at my dr.'s appointment today they said that my low lying placenta has moved to where it should be so that is a good thing and the estimated weight of this "little" guy is 6lbs 4oz. HOLY COW I still have 4 more weeks to go.

What I am looking forward to: still waiting on my CD with the maternity pictures on it (hopefully that will be in the mailbox today) and our beer/diaper/superbowl party this weekend.
