34 weeks

How far along? 34 Weeks

Total weight gain: 20.5 (Only .5 pound this week. Mommy and baby should be gaining almost about 1 pound a week from now on...YIKES)
Maternity clothes? maternity & comfy clothes... so ready for spring dresses! I cannot wait to dress up again in NORMAL clothes.. I'm getting sick of dressing like a slob....If only maternity clothes weren't so expensive..I just cannot bring myself to buy cute clothes right now because in less than 6 weeks I wont fit in them :)
Stretch marks? none - and onto tube number 2 of stretch mark cream.
Sleep: sleeping pretty good through the night..minus bathroom interuptions but I am very use to that now. Now I just get exhausted during the day.
Best moment this week: Justin comes home Sunday :) Ava misses her daddy. She misses him talking to her at night before bed and right when he wakes up.
Miss Anything? Being comfortable. Running, Bending over, Shaving my legs without it feeling like a workout.
Movement: ALL THE TIME. She is so big now that they aren't just small cute flutters, they are out of control punches/kicks that sometimes even take my breath away or make me say "ouch". I will admit its a bit freaky when she is rolling around in my belly and I can feel all the parts of her body tossing and turning. She is a wiggle worm, just like her Daddy :)
Food cravings: Nothing...nothing at all..this week I havent really had an appetite :(
Anything making you queasy or sick: still meat..I try to eat it without getting too grossed out..but its hard.
Labor Signs: No..Just mild contractions every now and then.
Symptoms: the heartburn is still my only complaint.
Belly Button in or out? I am shocked to say that at 34 weeks it is still technically in....its pretty much flat but not "out"
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to:  Hearing about Justin's trip to Ohio, spending some last minute quality time just the two of us, then baby's arrival! Seems so surreal at this point, I can not wait to see her precious face & hold her for the first time. I also cannot wait for Justin's family to fly in to meet baby Ava and for all my Aunts from Vermont to come stay with us.


This week has really been that "Eye Opening" week. I have just started to realize how my body has changed and I really cannot do everyday things that I once was able to do. I either get sore, tired or extremely worn out. It is so weird, and so amazing how your body can change within the matter of weeks...and for me it seems to have happened over night.
 I have been VERY lucky and have had an AMAZING pregnancy, very normal and easy with no real complications. I am just in pure disbelief that in 40 days Justin and I will have a child. I am beyond excited and am just thrilled with everything so far. 
The nursery is coming along and so is the house. I think we are officially ready. There are just a few things to pick up at the store, a few things to organize and pack our bags. Other than that we are more then ready to welcome Ava Paige to this world.
More than anything, I can’t believe how fast the time has flown by. Now that we’re almost in the month of July, I can officially say that next month – I’ll have a baby
