34 weeks

My oh my......we are rolling right along! 34 weeks finds our baby girl bigger.....she could be as much as 5 lbs. Although I am betting she's in the lower to middle 4 lb. range right about now, but who knows! She loves to push out her little rump and back while she stretches, and I feel a little bad for her being so cramped up in there. Although I know she will only get more cramped over the next few weeks. Her fingernails have been growing and have probably reached the end of her fingertips by now...we better make sure we get that baby care kit with the fingernail clippers in it!

I am feeling good myself, the weather cooling down has been nice. I have been wearing some compression tights to help my legs out a little and it really seems to make a difference. When I wear them all day, I can actually get up that night without shooting pains going down my leg into the bottom of my foot....so I am thankful that there is something I can do to help ease that discomfort a little.....even if they are terribly unattractive!:) I am quite the sight trying to get ready in the mornings, putting on these tights, socks, shoes, etc. with this growing bump in the way.

Sleep has been eluding me somewhat lately. Sunday morning I woke up to go to the bathroom around 4:00 or so and after laying there without being able to get back to sleep, finally got up around 5:30 to be productive. I figured I may as well get something done. I did nap a bit later that morning and Patrick kept the house quiet for me so I could get some much needed sleep. This laying in bed without being able to sleep is becoming a new normal for me, which is leaving me pretty sleepy some days, but I am doing my best to find time to rest when I can...even if it doesn't mean sleeping, but rather sitting with my feet up reading a magazine or baby book or blogging this experience, as I am now. I go to the doctor tomorrow and will update you all on how that visit goes.

6 weeks to our due date.....
