34 Weeks!!



According to "What to expect" for this week, baby could be as tall as 20 inches right now & could weigh about 5 lbs. If baby is a boy, this week his testicles are making their way down from his abdomen to his scrotum. Baby's fingernails now reach the end of the fingertips & may even curl over the tip, making a manicure one of the 1st things I'll need to do for this baby.

I went to the Dr yesterday. Everything is ok for now. My blood pressure & urine were both good. She checked my swollen feet and seemed satisfied with them. They are still very swollen though. I haven't gained any weight since my appt last week, in fact, I lost a pound. So that is good! Baby's heartbeat was in the 140's. I have now entered the home stretch and will visit the Dr weekly. Where the heck did the time go?? It seems like it was just May and I was peeing on a stick and finding out I was pregnant and thinking I had a long way to go & now the time is almost here. Jason & I are gonna be parents in 6 weeks or less. Um.....YIKES!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday, I went to do the banking for work. I usually just go through the drive-thru, but I had to go in to get something notarized. Usually the same guy notarizes for me every time. He knows I'm pregnant & his wife just had a baby in June so he's a bit familiar with pregnancies. So anyway, he's like "How far along are you again?? Wait, let me guess!!!!" So I'm waiting to see what he comes up with. He says "5 months!" I said, "Nope, I'm due next month!" He says "Really??? U are prlly gonna have a 6 or 7 lb baby. My wife was 3 times your size at 8 months." HAHA. I'm sure his wife would love that he said that about her. Anyway, I just thought it was funny.
