Weekly Update

I know, I know, I'm a few weeks behind. Last week I was just so exhausted there was no way I could even muster the energy to write my update!

How far along? 34 weeks!!!

How big is baby? Zoey is 4.2-5.8 lbs. and 17.2-18.7 inches. Wow, it's hard to believe that she has gotten so big!!

Total weight gain? We still don't own a scale but I believe at the last doctor's appointment it was around 24 lbs. I go back to the doctor on Wednesday so we will see what the gain is then.

Maternity clothes? Nothing new. I just don't see the point this late in the game of getting anything new (other than the nursing tanks I still need to pick up). The 3 skirts I own with elastic waist bands plus the dress from Cambodia and the maternity jeans will work for school until after Zoey comes then I will work toward getting back into some of my old clothes eventually.

Stretch marks? None although Tyler has noticed I am getting that tell-tale dark line down the middle of my belly. Each time he sees my belly he comments on it!

Sleep? It really hasn't been too bad lately. At night it seems like I go through a period of extreme exhaustion and then hit a point where I'm still tired but when I go to lay down I stay awake for an hour or more. Thankfully I've been able to still get 6-7 hours of sleep each night. With school starting again I know this will all be changing and my body will have to adjust to going to bed earlier and getting up earlier. Thankfully I have the coffee pot set to warm the water prior to the time I have to leave the house so I will get that extra boost to wake me up in the morning.

Movement? It is certainly getting stronger although from what I've read online it's not nearly as strong as what some people are dealing with. I haven't had any pain from her kicks and rolls yet.

Cravings? Nothing that I can think of. I dreamt that I had a strong craving for something (I never did figure out what it was) and couldn't get it so I cried over it. But, as far as memory serves, it was only a dream.

What I miss? Things have been pretty good lately. There isn't much that I miss.

What I am looking forward to? Meeting her in about 6 weeks or so!

Oh and this! It will be interesting to see how I adjust to going back to school again after being off for so long.
