34 Weeks

How far along? 34 Weeks, 3 days - 39 days till our due date!
Baby is the size of: A small pumpkin. Weighs around 5 pounds. 
What's new with baby: He continues to gain weight and lungs continue to develop. Fingernails and toenails have fully grown and reach the end of the fingertips. His skin is now like an infants (no longer see through). 
Maternity clothes? Yup! In the above I am wearing my favorite maternity article of clothing - leggings!!! Since I am home, my attire consists of PJs. The above is probably the most dressed up I've been all week. :)

Sleep: Sleeping decent. Body pillow is being put to good use. 

Sleeping on: Side and back. 
Best moment this week: 1) Relaxing 2) We took our child birth class, which I found to be incredibly useful and informative for both of us. 

Miss Anything? No.
Movement: Yes. Movement has slowed down a bit since he's running out of space but hiccups are pretty common and I noticed he has more of a schedule. Oh, and I'm getting some serious rib kicks.
Food cravings: No. Well actually, I really wanted pizza and garlic bread last week (and I had both).
Anything making you queasy or sick:  No.
Have you started to show yet: Yes.
Gender: Boy!
Name selected?: Kamden
Working out? No.
Labor Signs: Yes. Contractions continue and the doctor has put me on bed rest. 
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Overall health: Feeling pretty good. I've officially hit the 20 pound mark and so far no stretch marks. (Fingers crossed that continues)
Feeling (happy, moody, emotional, scared): Happy, emotional, nervous, excited
Looking forward to: Thanksgiving and my mom comes to town tonight. 
Next appointment: Weds, Dec. 4

Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving! I know we have so much to be thankful for this year. I hope you and your family fill your bellies with yummy food and your hearts with lots of love. xoxo! 

31 Weeks

How far along? 31 Weeks, 5 days - 58 days till our due date!
Baby is the size of: A pineapple. Weighs around 3-3.5 pounds.
What's new with baby: His brain is now more fully developed. All major organ development is done, although lungs are still immature. All five senses are now in working order. Baby is gaining about a half pound a week from here on out and mommy is gaining about a pound a week. 
Maternity clothes? I need more maternity clothes! The above is a regular A-line dress you will see me in post-baby. I need to stock up on some maternity tops to wear with my work pants and jeans now that the weather is getting colder. 
Sleep: Sleeping pretty good. 

Sleeping on: Side and back. Body pillow is helping me stay on my side. However, I'm worrying that sleeping on my side is crushing the baby. Oh the start of a worrying mother. :) 
Best moment this week: SO many this week! 1) My mom was in town. I just love having her around. 2) We did a sneak peek sonogram of Kamden with my mom and Jeff's parents. It was so cool to his little features and the little man has already turned himself down. 3) We had our baby shower and were surrounded by everyone we love (including my brother from CA and my Grandma from New York)
