34 & 35 Weeks

***UPDATE*** Special 34 week picture has been added!

We have been super duper busy around here lately, thus the lack in updating the dear old blog. My 34 week post is waiting on a special picture, so as soon as I get the picture, I'll make a little announcement or something so you know to check back :-)

Me at 34 weeks with baby BAL, and Diane (my bff from Baylor!) at 27 weeks with Karley! So so blessed to share this with her!

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 34 Weeks
Size of baby: Still 4.2-5.8 lbs, 17.2-18.7 in (Honeydew)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 28 lbs
Maternity Clothes: I'm getting pretty limited on what I can wear...
Movement: I felt baby BAL's hickups for the first time during childbirth class! 
Sleep: Getting up more during the night and am wide awake in the mornings! I've had a couple weird dreams, too...
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach, comfortably bending over or sitting on the floor, comfortably rolling over in bed
Cravings: Mexican Food
Symptoms: Restless legs; heartburn in the afternoon/evenings ; stretch marks; calf cramps; exhaustion; etc. (really, I could add about 10 more things :-D)
Best Moment this week: Saw the nurse practitioner for our 34 week appointment. Baby BAL is growing well, heart rate was 156, and his/her head is way down low--praying that he/she does not decided to flip in the last minute! Also, we scheduled the rest of my doctors appointments until BAL is due! We're getting crazy close to meeting our little munchkin! 

(blah! I just noticed my poor posture :-( yuck!)


Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 35 Weeks
Size of baby: Still 4.2-5.8 lbs, 17.2-18.7 in (Honeydew)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 27 lbs
Maternity Clothes: I'm getting pretty limited on what I can wear...
Movement: I'm still feeling baby BAL's hickups. Also, he/she calms down when Daddy talks to him/her :-)
Sleep: Sleep is overrated....
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach, comfortably bending over or sitting on the floor, comfortably rolling over in bed
Cravings: Fresh Fruits
Symptoms: Restless legs; heartburn in the afternoon/evenings ; stretch marks; calf cramps; exhaustion; etc. (really, I could add about 10 more things :-D)
Best Moment this week: I had a shower in CS this past weekend and then we had a maternity photo shoot with Courtney Moore. I loved getting to see some very special friends at the shower! Baby BAL got to be near his/her future bff/husband, Karley Kathryn and I was excited to compare baby bumps with  Karley's momma (due in October). Also, last night, the ladies that Brian works with surprised me with a baby shower at a local italian restaurant. It was so so so so exciting! One of his co-workers, Nicole, made this WONDERFUL diaper cake!


I leave you with a comparison between the weeks that I have worn the same dress :-)
