Better late than...oh nevermind!


How far along? 34 weeks

Weight gain? Enough :)

Name? We have narrowed down the name list, but won't be choosing baby girl's name until she is born. Guessing won't get you any closer to finding out either! :P

Size of baby? about 4.75 lbs and 18 inches long according to baby center

Movement? She moves often, but I feel her on the right side of my belly all the way on top to the bottom of my belly. I cannot tell what parts are what, but have dreams about it.

Sleep? I toss and turn more often, but for the most part still sleep well. Speaking of dreams, I still have lots of them and they are vivid. The most odd ones are similar to this one:
One night I dreamed I was feeling her kicking, and realized I knew it was her little fist. Then all of a sudden her hand wrapped around my finger and before I knew it she was coming out the bottom of my belly, but not all the way, kind of like a kangaroo pouch. Just enough for me to have to hold her in my arms. I ask the doc, "Umm is she ready to come out?" Doc says, "no she'll go back in when she is ready to finish growing inside." WHAT??!! And then I wake up.
I wonder if this is me waking up to her kicking or hitting hard, but I never will know.

What I miss? I miss being able to bend down quickly and a normal way. Now I am very slow and have to basically plea in second position to bend over. Hello belly! haha

Symptoms? Swelling in my ankles/feet, specifically my left foot...doc says it's just how my body works and it has nothing to do with the baby's position or sitting on any vein. I also cry a over some silly things these days, but not too often so I'm not a bubbling mess.

Looking forward to? Baby girl sleeping on mine or Steve's chest. What a feeling/sight it will be!
