Week 34 Bumpdate

IMG_6611Week 34 Bumpdate

 

size of the baby: Butternut Squash– 17.2-18.7 inches (5 pounds 6 ounces)

 

total weight gain: ekk… about 21 pounds still

 

gender: Girl – Little Miss Brooke Nicole Clarke!

 

maternity clothes: living in comfy shorts and tees right now.

 

movement: She isn’t as active this week, I’m assuming because she is running out of room and ready to be here. We got to see her in a sonogram on Wednesday and she looked pretty cramped.

 

sleep: I haven’t been sleeping very well – mainly due to not being comfortable. It just isn’t really fun to lay down.

 

nursery: In love with it! 🙂 Can’t wait til she is here!

 

craving: Nothing really this week.

 

symptoms: pretty uncomfortable at night time and she is on my tailbone a lot so it has been pretty sore.

 

kevin is: s0 excited that she is almost here! We are just full of anticipation for when she decides to come. I think he is going to be hilarious when I actually go into labor.

 

looking forward to: our little miss being here soon!

 

best moments: We had another appointment on Wednesday, so that they could asses everything and see how much she is growing. She is around 5 pounds, 6 ounces which is good and her lungs were working good. I am dilated to a 2, 80-90% effaced and she is super low, so I am not allowed to go to work anymore. I can work from home, but my doctor just wants me to take it easy, so we can hopefully keep her in there for another week or two. We also found out she has hair and it was sticking straight up which was super funny. & she looks so much like her daddy. We have a 3D image that looks identical to Kevin, it is kind of crazy but keeps making us smile. We can’t wait to hold her!
