09-8-2008 - week 34 and happy

My mood while writing this blog: happy

Week 34 and I'm feeling pretty good. I love being pregnant! My baby girl is getting so big suddenly. My Dr said I am measuring small (31 instead of 33) last week so Im going in for an ultrasound next week to measure her but I know shes doing great cause shes been growing like a weed for like the past few weeks. My belly feels so big and hard and when she moves the movements are so visible. Shes been head down since wk 28 or before and pretty much has stayed in the same spot since with her little rump off to the right hand side. Iv'e been exercising alot more lately (walking) and that is probably why Im feeling so good. Im trying to walk at least 3 miles a day. It makes my body happy! It's kinda crazy to me that I will have her here soon, I still think it's amazing that I am pregnant and cant really comprehend that there is more beyond that, lol. I know this is just the beginning but to me it is so miraculous that it feels like a main event (sounds silly, I know). I am still infatuated with my belly. People probably get bored of my belly focus but I cant think of much else while packing it around in front of me 24/7 , lol.

Physical Feelings: getting hard to sit on the toilet as my belly is in the way (but I love it), getting hard to potty, I have to lean forward and be patient. It's hard to get dressed, not much fits over belly. Maternity pants are too tight on the belly so usually I just wear my old pants unbuttoned with a long shirt covering. My old long tanks aren't long anymore. I'd really like to find some extra long t-shirts to wear. I have a bunch of maternity shirts but still get bored and want to wear something else. I just like alot of variety in my clothes and bore very quickly. Bending over is not an option anymore, it's squat or no deal. Bending over kills. Tying my shoes is awkward, lucky I usually wear slip ons except to work out. No stretch marks yet, (PRAISE GOD)! Im using mustella anti stretchmark cream, please God let it work as I am getting big now. Hmmm, what else??? Gotta go walking now, I'll write more later if I think of more 34 week details.

Chow!
