Due date: September 26th and feeling like she’ll come a bit early.

How far along? 34 Weeks today! At my ultrasound appointment yesterday she was measuring 5 pounds 10 ounces and around 18 inches long. She’s pretty big 😬

Gender? Girl!!!! (Watch our gender-reveal video)

Weight gain? About 8 pounds if I’m counting from pre-pregnancy weight, 23 pounds counting from my first trimester weight.

Weird pregnancy moment this week? This week I’ve been struggling with cramping/ pressure, nausea and lower back pain. It’s been making me so nervous because all can be early signs of labor but I haven’t had any contractions so crossing my fingers nothing progresses for AT LEAST a couple more weeks!
Best moment this week? I’ve had so many good moments the last couple of weeks! A highlight was having my sister in town and spending time together as a family. She and my mom hosted the most beautiful baby shower last weekend and I loved celebrating this little girl! Nesting also kicked in a couple weeks ago and now the entire house is clean, organized, and the nursery is all set up! I’m a bit (okay, a lot) OCD about tidiness so it feels SO good to have it all done.

Sleep? Literally tossing and turning but still managing to get in a few solid hours of sleep. Matt told me the other day that I woke him up in the middle of the night and asked him to “push me over” so that I could lay on my other side!😄 I don’t have any recollection of doing that but it makes sense because rolling over with a bowling ball for a stomach is no easy task.

Feeling any movement? I literally have bruises from this little girl! She loves to jab her feet and elbows into my sides and ribs. I feel bad when I push them back because I know she is getting so cramped in there but it hurts! I also just started feeling her hiccups this week and it’s so cute but I absolutely HATE getting hiccups so I always feel bad for her. She usually gets them after I eat and they are so strong I can see her jump a bit every time in my stomach.

Queasy or Sick? Nausea and acid reflux seem to be pretty constant but i think that is pretty normal with all the hormones and the fact that my stomach is so squished.

Cravings? I’ve mostly craved fruit this pregnancy and right now I’m all about PEACHES!

Looking Forward To: There isn’t a lot to get excited about these next 6 weeks besides getting bigger and more uncomfortable 😂 I just can’t wait to meet her!

How is Mom? Scared. Anxious. Uncomfortable. Excited. Emotional. Uncomfortable. Feeling all the normal feelings when you’re 8 months pregnant haha! I’m just trying to wrap my head around the fact that there is an actually baby in there and that we get to meet her in about a month! Sometimes I want it to go by fast and other times I want her to stay in there a few more months so that I have more time to prep for such a big life-change.
