34 Weeks
How far along: 34 weeks
How big is baby? Butternut Squash
Symptoms: I don’t think there’s anything new this week...sciatica pain, tailbone pain, allergies are a bit better (I think the ammox I’m on is helping), have had some pretty bad acid reflux this week, shortness of breath during braxton hicks is getting more intense & annoying, swollen feet & ankles
Maternity clothes: Yep no change here
Sleep: Sleep got a little better throughout the week in regards to allergies. Some nights I only got up once which was a definite improvement from the week before.
Miss anything: Feeling like myself - I hate how hard it is to get up off the floor or out of bed...or to bend over.
Movement: Still lots of movement and a lot of times it’s pretty low. When he gets the hiccups it’s SOO low. It’s hard to describe but we definitely can feel him more pushing near my belly button than Eli - Eli always felt like he was more “inside” and we would feel his kicks and movements. This one I can feel almost all the time by pushing.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
Have you started to show yet: ...
Labor signs: Just braxton hicks
Belly button in or out: In - it’s seriously about to disappear though
Wedding rings on or off: Off - dang sausage fingers
Mood? Overall good!
Looking forward to: CHRISTMAS! Cannot wait to experience all of our upcoming Christmas festivities with Eli - especially Christmas morning. Can’t believe it’s our last Christmas as a family of three!
Best moment of this week: Finally taking Eli to see Santa. We tried going the Saturday after Thanksgiving & even though we got to Bass Pro before they opened, there was a line around the front of the building. We told Eli that mommy couldn’t stand that long - it would hurt her feet & belly - and trust me...he did not forget! Anytime we mention Santa he reminds me of why we couldn’t wait :( We finally got to take him this week and it was the cutest thing EVER! He went up to him willingly, sat in his lap AND told him what he wanted for Christmas. If you know our child, you know that this is NOT normal haha.
