34 Week Round Up!!!

Total Weight Gained/Loss? - Are you ready for this? 40 lbs. UGH. I really don't feel like I'm eating a ton, maybe just a lot of sugar?
Sleep? - I'm sleeping surprisingly well! I am getting up a couple of times a night to pee, but then I go right back to sleep. It's really my back that hurts so much when I get up in the night that is bothering me the most.
Best Moment of the Week? - Ordering our dresser (and with all of our savings/coupons/contributions, we got a pretty smokin' deal!) and me finally figuring out exactly what I want on the walls of the nursery- I'm VERY excited about how it'll all turn out!! Let's just say that I may need to visit a junk yard, antique store or an old farm to find exactly what I'm looking for in terms of wall art... but you'll just have to wait for that.
Oh- I also just discovered online order/grocery delivery service- A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I never want to step foot in a grocery store again! I can load all sorts of coupons to my card online and then save a ton by doing it this way- I haven't been this excited about food since... well, that's debatable, because I do get really excited about food these days!
Food aversions- CHICKEN, BEEF
Food cravings- PBJ, peppercinis, Honey Smacks, cheese, jalapeno/cheese bagel with jalapeno cream cheese, a tortilla with cream cheese and peppercinis, starbucks' old fashioned donuts, fruity pebbles, peaches and plums, street meat from the HB street fair, chocolate milk (with nesquik), In N Out, Cheetos. I've realized that I'm loving anything chocolate-related these days. This includes Tootsie Rolls, Coco Pebbles and Chocolate milk, cran-rasberry juice
Gender- unknown to us!
Labor Signs- I think that the baby is starting to drop. 37 days from today is our due date! I can't believe it.
Belly Button- It's officially POPPED! (does that mean I'm done, like a turkey?)
What I miss- Wine. Hot Yoga. Sleeping on my back. Oysters on the half shell, Dancing (kairee confirmed what I had previously thought- pregnant women should definitely NOT hit the dance floor), being able to wear my wedding ring, Soft cheeses, Big Belly Deli House Salads (thanks to the bleu cheese), SLEEP, having just 1 chin, skinny arms. Brie. Looking in the mirror and recognizing myself (have I mentioned how large my nose is?!?).
What I'm looking forward to- My Baby Shower next weekend hosted by Ryan's Aunt Carrie and Aunt Boo!
Weekly Wisdom- Never take any day of this amazing experience for granted.
Milestones- 40lbs is not a milestone I wanted to achieve... but we can check that one off the list!

And NOW.... for the BIG reveal! ((As I said before, I don't even recognize myself these days)).

It's nice that I choose a farm theme for the nursery when I'm clearly playing the part of the cow!

  1. I think you have 10 lbs just in the boobs alone :-)

  2. Thanks Skynard-I'm just kidding for the most part, but it's HARD on your body to gain this much weight so rapidly! The boob situation is interesting... call me and I'll tell you what's really going on in that area.

  4. YOU LOOK AMAZING!! I love seeing my girls go through this beautiful preggo adventure :)
    Can I just say, be stoked that you didn't start this process with 2 chins... I'll probably go to at least 3 or 4! Damnit.
    Happy maternity leave!!
    xoxo, Kyra
