34 weeks.

week: 34

baby stats: b2 is roughly the size of a butternut squash or cantelope this week.  4.75-5.8 pounds is the average range, and 17-19 inches.  more fattening and brain growth and development of the central nervous system.  i like to think of these final weeks as the finishing touches.  so fun. 

aversions/cravings: not too bad this week.  justin bought some southern comfort egg nog the other day, and i am exceedingly jealous of that.  as an aside, if you have not tried it and are not diabetic, go get it now.  it's the southern comfort brand (no alcohol in it, duh) and it's near the creamer/milk/etc. in the dairy section of the grocery store in a little quart carton.  black with white lettering.  i will add to this recommendation by saying i think egg nog is disgusting, but this egg nog is one of the more delicious substances on earth....

bump: we have our 34 week appointment tomorrow, so we shall see how things are growing.  i am still feeling relatively normal in terms of size.  i think i was full-on huge with ek at this point, so even if i look massive to the outside world, i don't feel nearly as massive as last time, so that is a nice change.  particularly since stupid texas refuses to participate in december and our weather has been in the 80s.  ugh.  

worries: pretty good this week.  we had a really busy and productive weekend, and i have an appointment tomorrow, so those are usually recipes for a saner me.  i called the midwife last week to discuss my fasting levels and she still thinks i'm good without meds, so that is awesome.  really hoping to keep that up, but it feels like every day is harder. 

boy or girl?: i had a dream last night that we were at an appointment with my ob and she told us it was a boy and then was like "oh, wait, you STILL didn't want to know?  it's just a few more weeks."  haha.  in my dream, justin cried with joy over it being a boy, so i'm not sure what that says about my subconscious pressure.  ha. 

missing the most: not waking up in the middle of the night to pee.  being able to stay awake past 9:30. 

pregnancy milestone: nothing major this week.  the pain in my pelvis is pretty amazing and earlier i think (or at least at this intensity) than with emme.  my chiro did adjust the pubic bone last week because i'm out of alignment there and i am still sore from that.  fun fun.
