34 Weeks

34 Weeks!
(Isn't he cute?!?!)

Along: 34 weeks!  Babies are considered full term at 37 weeks (I had thought it was 38, but found out I was wrong), so only three more weeks until he is considered full term and could arrive.  My doctor would like him to come early (2 weeks or so), so we'll see!

Size of Baby:  Baby Owen could be about 20 inches long and almost 5 pounds right now!  I haven't had an ultrasound since week 26, so of course I don't know his exact height and weight, I'm just going by what my book says!  I'm measuring right on track with weight gain and belly measurements, so I'm sure he is right around what the book says.  :)

Gender:  BOY!!!  Owen 'Secret' Blankenship.  I have to say, I'm getting so excited to share his middle name when he is born!

Sleep:  I'm still sleeping pretty well considering... Some nights I'm so tired from running around all day that I sleep through the entire night without waking up once.  Some nights are more restless, moving around a lot trying to get comfortable. 

What I Miss:   The past two weeks I've really missed wine and cocktails.  With the weather being as beautiful as it has been all I want to do is sit on the deck and enjoy a glass of Pinot or a Marg!  Only a couple more weeks though!

Cravings:  Lately it's been milk in the mornings and peanut butter in the evenings.  

Symptoms:  I'm starting to get a little more swollen.  Thank heaven for flip flop season!  My back is really starting to hurt more too.  Just unloading the groceries the other night was killing my back.  Luckily after I sit down for a few minutes the pain subsides.  I'm definitely going to have to have some help packing up my classroom this year.

Best Moment this Week:  BABY SHOWER!!!   The baby shower our parents threw was amazing!  See my next post for all the cute details!

Love to all!
