Week 34 Bumpdate

If we ever consider having another baby, the chances of me ever doing a single bump-date are pretty slim. I just looked over my past posts and there aren't a whole lot of these weekly bump-dates. I feel kinda bad for not being more on top of documenting the pregnancy of my first born child, and hopefully I don't regret that. I probably will, though. C'est la vie. BUT! I did (sorta) get it together to take a picture, albeit grainy and dark, this morning after I got dressed. Don't worry, I'm not too on top of it today, my hair is still in a towel.

{So very charming and pretty. Snort.}

How Far Along: 34 weeks Baby's Size: A pineapple, or a cantaloupe, depending which app you use. Weight should be around 4-5 pounds. Length is, uhh, debatable. He's still short. Let's say 16-17 inches. The average is around 18 for most babies. Symptoms: So tired. So uncomfortable. Super moody again. Ready to meet my little ninja. Movement: He's still quite the active little guy, but he's running out of room. The movements have gone from the sweet flutters of the second trimester to more startling and slow movements with a bit more force up towards my ribs. It's still by far my favorite part of pregnancy. Even if it hurts, it's the one thing I don't mind. Sleep: It's been really bad this week, as in I'm up from 4 am until I get out of bed. Not to mention still up every couple hours to "relieve" myself.  I've also been having some CRAZY dreams again. I did sleep from 1:30 am until 6 last night, though, so that was awesome! Nursery: Drew was so sweet and hung the drapes for me a few weekends ago when I was out running errands. We got the rocker/glider chair back from the upholstery shop. And promptly ruined it (see post from earlier this week.) Now I'm just waiting on a few final details to get back from the monogram shop. I'll post pics at some point soon.   The (Middle) Name Game: We picked one! And to make everyone crazy, we decided to keep it a secret. It's kind of nice to have something to ourselves, even if it's only for a little while. Looking Forward To: My best gals in Lexington are throwing me a shower this Saturday and I CANNOT wait to see them! I miss the days when we all lived within a few minutes walk of each other and got together on the reg. But these days are good too, just for different reasons. Some of the best reasons, in fact! Love our growing families. :) Some Great Things From the Week: We hired a painter to fix a few cracks from our settled foundation, and I'm getting our bedroom painted!!!! Can you say nesting?  Rings: Both are on the necklace now. I'm having quite a bit of trouble with carpal tunnel and swelling in my fingers and hands. Most mornings, I wake up with absolutely aching and awful soreness in both hands and wrists. I can't even image trying to put rings on my sausage fingers. Missing Most: Sleep. I'm not expecting this to change anytime in the next six months. Ho hum. Left to do: Make a bunch of those freezer crock pot meals, stock up on frozen stuff, oh, and buy a new fridge and freezer to house all these goodies. I'd like to throw in a romantic date night before our boy arrives, but most nights I'm so tired that romance is when Drew is ready to go to bed at 9:30. Luckily, he's not much of a night owl to begin with. Love that man. :)
