Week 34

Most of my week was spent back in NSW visiting family and friends! It was so wonderful to see everyone before Baby T is born and we recieved so many wonderful gifts for our baby girl and now that my family knows we are having a baby girl it was nice to have all of the pretty pink stuff out. I was exhausted by the end of the trip and loved crawling into my own bed and seeing my husband who I had missed terribly while I was away. I went back to work the next day and had a lot of people commenting on the fact that I had finally popped! Baby girl is so high I can feel her kick underneath my ribs and her feet click against my ribs when she gets excited in there! 

What is the baby up to this week? I think she has started to drop and engage in my pelvis- I have started to waddle because it feels like her head is just so low in my pelvis! She is basically just putting on fat until her due date and filling out her skin. 

Stretch marks? None! 

Sleep: Great actually! It is hard to fall asleep but once I am asleep it is a nice deep sleep and I feel rested in the morning (at 4:30am when I get up) but by the afternoon after work I am keen for a nap.

Best moment this week: I got all of her cloth diaper covers washed and dried and made a start on her nursery! 

Miss Anything? Exercise and not feeling ill!!

Movement: So so much sometimes it hurts! She goes absolutely crazy just after dinner time and it moves my belly around and makes me feel sea sick!

Food cravings: Grapes! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Her crazy movements and too much milk!! 

Have you started to show yet: Definatley!  

Gender prediction: no longer a prediction.... Sweet baby GIRL!!!!

Symptoms: This week has been the most uncomfortable so far- I have had a tonne of Braxton hicks (which is great according to the midwife as it means my labour should be strong and fast), some period pain cramps when I overdo it and sharp shooting pains in my pelvis when I walk! 

Belly Button in or out? OUT OUT it still rubs on my shirts and feels gross!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! Although today on my last day of the week I had a minor freak out when I realised there is only 35 days to go and I have so much to do around the house- my nesting instinct has kicked in I think!!!! 

Looking forward to: our next midwife appointment- our 34 week one went well- baby girl is in the perfect position and her heart rate was perfect (140bpm)!!!

Well that is all for this week! 

Love from us (all 3 of us) xxoo
