34 Weeks

We had our 34 week doctor appointment today. Doctor says everything is looking great! Her heartbeat measured 133 pbm. She probably weighs close to 5 pounds this week and is about 18 inches long. It's much easier to tell that she's sleeping in regular cycles. There are definitely quiet periods and periods where she's awake and super active. Now that she's so big, there's a lot less room for her to manuever around so rather than the rolling movements I felt a few weeks ago, I feel more pokes and jabs now. She goes really crazy if I lie on my side. My stomach looks like there are fireworks inside she's so active! At least twice a day she gets the hiccups which is pretty entertaining and her latest thing is to push her booty right up to my ribs. Usually, she doesn't try to go underneath my ribs which I'm thankful for, but when she's right below my ribs it's tough to sit comfortably unless I keep my back completely straight. Thankfully, if I push her down a little she'll stay down for at least a few minutes before trying again. It's turned into our first little battle of wills!

We're finishing up last minute details to try to be prepared if she comes early. Her clothes and sheets are all washed, I have my list of things to take to the hospital all ready to go and next week we're going to make a trip to the hospital to make sure we know where to go. I took a hair bow making class a few weeks ago so I've been having tons of fun picking out ribbon and finding little embellishments to add to the bows I'm making. I should go into business! In the boutiques these tiny things are priced at $16 or more!
