34 weeks...

today i am 34 weeks... and the belly is getting bigger!!! much bigger, which means this little baby that is growing inside me is getting much bigger. when the baby moves and kicks it is not cute anymore... it hurts! not that i don't still love it, because i do, but i can really feel how much stronger the baby is getting in there.

today i had my follow up u/s with MFM. the baby is growing great, and is quite cute if i do say so myself. the heart rate was 150, and the estimated weight is 5lbs 11 oz. here are a couple of pictures of the baby's face... look at those chubby cheeks!


the results of my 24 hour urine collection were normal, and this week i start seeing my doctor for weekly appointments and NST's. i go back for another u/s at 37 weeks... i can't believe that this pregnancy is almost over.

i have mixed feelings about actually giving birth. once that day comes, that's it... no more pregnancies ever again. and that makes me a little sad. then there is the small fact that i will have another baby to take care of... and i love love love newborns, but i will have to juggle a newborn in with my 3 other kids, and i just pray that i can handle it.

this week i also started the project of changing mason's old room, into hadley's new big girl room. it's going to take some time to get it done, but we are in no rush. she loves the idea of a big girl room, but thinks jumping on the bed is fun fun! i am not taking her out of the crib anytime soon, but maybe early next year? anyways, it is a work in progress right now.

i need to finish going through the newborn clothes, and open up the new car seat we bought to see how it will fit. we also need to bring the bassinet up to our bedroom. time is ticking...

oh, and here is a funny story from yesterday. as we were driving to mason's soccer game he says "how is the baby going to come out?" i simply say the doctor will take it out... i try to keep it short and simple. then from the way back we hear carter say "oh, i thought jesus was going to?" so funny! i wonder what they were learning about at CCD?

here are some of my favorite pictures from the weekend...
