Ahhh I am running late with posting AGAIN!...so here is two weeks wrapped into one post!
How far along: 34 weeks 6 days
How much weight gained: 7 pounds (went to the doctor on the 11th, I have lost two pounds since my last visit, but they are not concerned)
Symptoms: Some of my thirst has come back, and my exhaustion too! I am beginning to loose some of my appetite too. I have not had any contractions, but will find out on the 25th if I am dilated.
Sleep: For the move part I am still sleeping soundly. I rarely get up to use the restroom at night, I consider myself lucky! I have had some anxiety during the pregnancy, and some nights that causes to constantly flip around. But these days it takes a lot of effort to roll from one side to the other!
Best Moment of the Week: During week 33 I purchased the stroller/carseat combo and a swing/seat combo. I received great deals on each item, and put them together myself :) We put all of the money and Babies R Us gift cards from the shower together and purchased the stroller/carseat that we really wanted. We ended on paying only $30 for a $219 system! And I also had yet another wonderful doctor's visit. Heartbeat, my weight and blood pressure are all in the perfect range.
During week 34 Jeff and I took our final vacation as a couple. It was a great trip, but bittersweet. We are prepared to leave the carefree and light attitude behind to travel with an infant and all of their supplies. We took the dogs and headed to Munising on Thursday, came home on Monday. Somehow we forgot to take a few things; like pillows, blanket and phone charger, but we managed to have a wonderful trip. Nana & Papa were nice enough to watch the dogs so we could have a few nights to ourselves. We visited one of Jeff's friends who lives in Marquette, but was camping outside of Munising. On the way home my car had some troubles, luckily Jeff was able to get it going and get us back safely. I was terrified to be trapped out in the wilderness without a running car and cellphone service! The next morning we relaxed around the house while my car sat in the shop, thankfully it was just a part that needed to be cleaned $56 and a few hours later we headed to Marquette. We hiked Presque Isle (just don't tell the doctor), had lunch at Subway, stopped to check out the beach and visited the same friends home in Marquette. We definitely plan to go back there! The sights were amazing!
Cravings: Nothing new to report, but I do have days where I could eat everything in sight, and I have days where I eat very little. The heat has definitely messed me up!
Movement: Well movement has been flipping back and forth. When I am active she is very quiet, she just lets me know she is there by causing a ton of pressure. Then when I relax she bounces all over the place. I can feel her movements well, they aren't too strong though, but its hard to see them on the outside now. She has definitely settled back into a position where it makes it hard to see what she is doing. Some days she is all over the place, and some days she is just as calm as can be.
Milestone of the week: Well I would have to say our final vacation would be my favorite milestone. I also think my doctor's visit was another excellent milestone. The 34 week checkup went great. Heart rate dropped slightly, but that is normal as we get closer to the big day. My fundal measurements are right on target and they couldn't be happier with things. They had me reduce my sodium slightly because of swelling in my feet, but they think its mainly because of the humidity. They are also planning to send me to have an ultrasound in a few weeks. I have a long torso, which means I have the ability to hide a larger baby. So they want to check her size to make sure she is on the right track and not coming ahead of schedule. That doesn't mean she is going to big, I am hoping she isn't!!! We will see then (and hopefully be able to post some more ultrasound photos!

And the doctor said she is definately butt up (or atleast was during the visit). I feel a lot of pressure at the top of my stomach, so I believe that she is and has been head down for a few weeks now. The ultrasound will show if she is completely in the position or not!
