34 Weeks

How far along? 34 weeks.
Total weight gain/loss: I haven't had a dr's appointment since last time, so no weight update
Maternity clothes? Yep, I broke out the REALLY big ones this week. I shall call this shirt the "salmon gumball."
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Still good, no change from last week.
Best moment this week: Matt finally getting to feel some good kicks! He could just be kicking away, and as soon as I tell Matt to put his hand on my belly, it completely stops. I've been telling him he's just really good at getting the baby to calm down - which we will be thankful for once the baby arrives!
Movement: Pretty active - I am feeling lots of kicks above my belly button. Sometimes I have to ask Matt to ask his child to remove his foot from mama's gall bladder - ouchie!
Food cravings: Nothing new - my current fav is hot chocolate made with skim milk and Ghiradelli chocolate mix. Yum!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? Still half-in, half-out. When I was at the pool last weekend, a lady I know "mentioned" that my belly button was starting to pop out... but I think it's only noticeable in a wet swimsuit.
What I miss: Wearing normal clothes.
What I am looking forward to: (This is sort of the same as last time, oh well.) We're have the big meeting with our doula tonight after dinner - I am really looking forward to talking through our birth plans and hoping she can ease some fears for me.
You look terrific!
You are glowing in your "salmon gumball"!! I think you look great! So disappointed it didn't work out to see you in person last weekend. Hoping we can get our little guys together this spring or summer.
So. damn. cute. :)
You look great! I hope your doula is super awesome, and can allay your fears. I think it's really great to have someone on your side who's been through births before. When I delivered, I was lucky that all my various nurses were very supportive and protective of me. I imagine a doula that you know and have a rapport with would be even better.
You look wonderful!!
