Baby Diaries #24

How far along? 34 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 28 lbs!

Maternity clothes? For at least 6 more weeks!

Stretch marks? I've been spoiled!  8-1/2 months and zero stretch marks on my belly!!

Sleep: 7 hours most nights and a nap most days....no pregnancy insomnia here.

Best moment this week: Last night while laying on the couch watching a movie with a friend, Bitsy got a bit rambunctious.  All of a sudden I could see her movements clear as day.  Punches and elbows and knees bouncing all around.  It felt like a scene from a scary movie only there was nothing scary about it!

Movement: Refer to "Best moment this week".  Also it seems more obvious now than ever that I have a night owl!  She really gets to thrashing around just as we head to bed each night.

Food cravings: Nada.

Gender: It's a Girl!

Labor Signs: Nothing different than last week.  I'm feeling great and Bitsy seems content with where she is hanging out right now.

Belly Button in or out?  I don't think it's going in anytime soon.

What I miss: I miss being able to put my shoes on quickly.  It now can take me quite a bit of time if there are any latches that need to be done.  It's quite humorous to watch I'm sure!

What I am looking forward to: I have another doctors appointment on Thursday!

Weekly Wisdom: Enjoy watching your little one move around.  You get such a short window of time to fully experience this before they come.  I guess this boils down to enjoy each moment because it will quickly be gone, even after she is born I know that she will only be that age for a certain period of time and it'll fly by before I can blink!

Your Baby in Week 34 of Pregnancy

What's new this week? Your baby is clocking in at five pounds and could be as tall as 20 inches by now, and the vernix (the white coating protecting your baby’s skin) is getting thicker. In other baby-related developments, those tiny fingernails have probably reached the tips of his fingers by now — and getting ready for that first postpartum manicure.

I hope you had a Blessed Sunday!

This week's verse to memorize:

"Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God's Son does not have life." ~1 John 5:12
