Pregnancy Update

I can't believe that I am already 34 weeks- time has flown by!.. Well sort of. Thinking that we found out I was pregnant last October sure makes this pregnancy seem long!
Doctors appointment last week said everything looked great- I'm right on track- baby boy is head down right now, hopefully he'll stay that way.
I'm thankful for such a great doctor, she is so nice, and really easy to talk to and ask questions and she is having her 3rd baby a few weeks after me! so we always talk baby names at my appointments.
As of now, this baby boy doesn't have a for sure name. Brett & I keep going back and forth and finding new names we like. Our tastes are a little different when it comes to names, so we've both had to compromise- but I think in the end we will go to the hospital with 2-3 names and see which one fits our baby boy best.
I realized I haven't blogged details of this pregnancy very much, and I want to be able to look back and read about this pregnancy, so I wanted to include some memories/info on this pregnancy for me to remember!
  • It's been a relatively "easy" (pregnancy is not easy) pregnancy. I haven't been sick once, and other then some third trimester common symptoms- sometimes I would forget I was pregnant! (Until my bump got HUGE- now I could never forget!)
  • I first felt baby around 24 weeks- but he really started kicking/punching/squirming around 30 weeks, and I continue to feel him ALL the time, and hard kicks and squirms- I love it!
  • Baby Boy loves to put his feet/legs in my ribs- sometimes I feel like I am suffocating, I think he is squishing my lungs!
  • I've craved cheeseburgers this whole pregnancy. I think I could eat one daily- other than that craving, I have been enjoying "fruit by the foot" fruit roll ups for the past month. They are so good for some reason!
  • I dread getting dressed every day- from lack of options, so sometimes I don't- p.j's are just fine. Brett's big shirts are also coming in handy!
  • I loved our hypno-birthing class- and I am actually excited/anxiously anticipating labor and delivery. I am planning to go natural, but I know that if I do want pain meds, it doesn't mean I've failed!
  • Overall, I've enjoyed being pregnant and I can't wait to meet this little guy in 6 weeks! (or, hopefully less!)

Love love love my hypnobirthing class! so wonderful and it was soooo helpful during childbirth and labor. Ahhh- I also was so excited for labor to begin to feel the amazing power I had to bring a baby into the world. (it also helped my labor be really fast!)
Good luck!

Seriously I loved the whole birthing process and the hospital food was so good haha. You are brave for going natural, I had the epidural and it was AMAZING hahah but if you can do it more power to you!!
