34 Weeks


How far along? Picture was taken at 34 weeks exactly.
Total weight gain: This fluctuates like crazy due to water retention. After last week's steroid injection, I gained a whole bunch of weight. Managed to get up to 186 lbs one night (which would put me at 51 lbs weight gain). However the next morning I had lost 4 lbs, just from water that I peed out. At yesterday's appointment the Dr "yelled" at me for loosing weight. My best guess for current weight gain is 43 lbs. 
Maternity clothes? I pretty much just wear loose skirts, maternity tops and sexy compression socks. 
Sleep? Last couple of days sleep has been surprisingly good. I mean besides getting up every hour to pee. I guess my gauge of good sleep has slowly changed - body getting ready for those night-time feeds. I really love my Snoogle pillow. It allows me to go back to sleep instantly. 
Best moment of the week: Hubby's surprise shower at work. Technically that was last week, but since I couldn't mention it then, I will mention it now. I cannot believe I was able to keep a secret, but he had absolutely not idea!!



Miss anything? Being able to do stuff and reach things on the ground. Picking things up from the ground is off limits, unless I want contractions. 
Movements? Tons of movements all the time. Baby girl even managed to flip and is now head down along with her brother. 
Food cravings: Not really terribly interested in food, but need to eat all the time. 
Labor signs: None, except Braxton Hicks. Those babies better stay put for a while still. 
Symptoms: I am a hot swelly mess most of the time. My feet tend to look like balloons at the end of the day. Heartburn, definitely heartburn. And numb fingers and hands. 
Looking forward to: Getting to see my sweet babies, when they are ready.
