34 Weeks!

September 26th

Baby girl is the size of a Quokka this week! SO CUTE! She's about 18 inches and about 5lbs now! She's peeing up to a pint a day- so weird to me. haha.

How's Mama? Tired. But that's the norm now. haha :D We had a baby appointment on Monday!! I love going and hearing her little heartbeat and ensuring she's doing great in there!  We also found out that my iron is low, which is probably is a huge reason as to why I'm SO tired all the time. They had me start an iron supplement. I kid you not- the first time I took it, I noticed a difference. I had SO much more energy. I mean I'm still tired, but like normal tired, not dragging and need sleep ALL. THE. TIME. Tired. So thankful for that! they also told me to start taking colace with the extra iron to help with any constipation that might occur. yay. lol. On a happier note, little girl is getting so strong in her kicks and it's so neat to watch my belly move some now! :D

How's Daddy? He's good! Tired and very busy. He's gotten to go through all the presents with me! We didnt end up doing it over the weekend because we were WAY too tired. haha.  I know all my tossing and turning is making him sleep even worse than before :( 

He's a champ though :D 

This week: This week was another busy one. Monday I helped throw a baby shower at work for a co-worker. Remind me not to take on a lot this late in my pregnancy next go around. I cried tried to wrap the presents because I couldnt figure it out. I'm pretty sure John thought I was losing it. lol. Wednesday we had baby class again! The classes have been so helpful, I'm really glad that we signed up for them. It's just helpful to know more about what to expect- even if everything is different for everyone. lol. John had to go out of town for work Thurs-Saturday. It was his last trip before the baby comes! Crazy!! The Kinlaws also went out of town, so I kept Bailey. It was nice to have a little time to myself :D Friday night I was my first real night back at PNC. It was great to see everyone again!!! However, by the end of the night, I was done. I had to call it quits and I dont have plans to go back until after maternity. It was too much on my body. I'm really glad I tried though, because I would have been mad at myself if I hadnt. OMG. While I was there, a lady started to choke! The whole table ran over to me to help and do the Heimlich. I went to help her and then remembered that I'm 8 months pregnant and that couldnt really happen. It was super scary though. Luckily, I was able to help someone else do it and a HUGE piece of turkey shot out of her throat. I'm so glad she was okay! So scary. Saturday and Sunday were filled with relaxing and working on the house more :D
