34 Weeks

One of the reasons I have been so behind on my blog for the last 8 months is that I have been working hard on growing another human while parenting two other little humans, working full time, and trying to spend time with my husband and friends too!  As a result, I have not documented this pregnancy nearly as well as I should have.  But, better late than never!  

I am 34 weeks pregnant! What? Wow. It seems a little crazy that we are so close to meeting our new baby girl.  My second and third trimesters have gone pretty smoothly.  For the most part I have felt really good and been able to keep up with the kids.  Just this week I have become officially uncomfortable!  Baby 3PO has dropped into my pelvis, and boy can I feel it!  At my appointment this week, the doc confirmed that she is head-down, so that is good.  Hopefully she stays that way.  I am measuring right at 34 weeks, the baby is very active (she gives a heck of a punch to my bladder on a regular basis!), and her heartbeat is strong. 

I am definitely bigger this time around than with either of my other pregnancies, although I have gained less weight this time.  The clerk at the grocery store today guessed correctly that I'm carrying a girl. :)  For fun, here is link to the 35 week update with Natalie, which also includes photos of 35 weeks pregnant with Nathan. :)

I am in full nesting mode--trying my best to get as many Is dotted and Ts crossed at home and at work before officially becoming a family of five.  Wish me luck! :)
