Here is life at 34 weeks:
-In the last week, my heartburn has disappeared. Shhhhh....don't tell anyone. PSYCH!!! In the two days since I first drafted this post, it has coming raging back. Where was the damn wood when I needed it to knock on!?!
-Swelling has also subsided, but that may have more to do with the cooler temperatures we're having. For the first and only summer, I have been doing happy dances every day it stays under 80 degrees.
-I know I say it almost every time, but Adly moves all the time. I love it. I just want to reach in my belly and grab her. It's almost too much to handle at this point. At times, she heads toward one side of my belly and when she does, the mountainous belly I have leans whichever way she goes. It's quite the sight to see your whole stomach head one way! Different body parts also pop up to say HIIIII!!!! on the regular.
-I have to do the sumo sit. What is this? It's an awesome term I've coined to describe how I have to spread my legs wide in order to allow my belly to sit comfortably between my legs when I sit on the couch. So attractive.
-My belly is starting to grow...outward. Even Adam's t-shirts flap out in the wind as opposed to sitting nicely against my waist/thighs. I guess the constant draft I'm feeling up my shirt isn't bad, considering it's almost summer.
-I ate BBQ and actually enjoyed it for the first time since this pregnancy began. It has been the one thing that has just sounded "ick" to me. This is big news because I love BBQ and I was secretly worried I'd never enjoy it again. Phew!
-I'm now up peeing 2-3 times a night. My mind is boggled by how much pee a bladder can hold.
I keep forgetting to print off a 34 week sign, so instead I'm including a belly picture from our homemade maternity photo shoot Adam and I did the other night. Let me tell you, any passersby may have thought there was a porno shoot going on with the camera flashes going off over and over again. Sadly, at this stage there was no way that was the case. Pregnancy truly is a beautiful thing and despite my complaining of how crappy I feel at times, being pregnant has been an amazing and wonderful experience. I have to admit, seeing my body on film was quite a shock. It's really not that bad!
So here's a photo from 34 weeks. Sorry if it's too much.
