34 weeks

as of today i am 34 weeks 3 days pregnant with 39 days left until my due date (12/9/11).  as i was walking around target last thursday afternoon i felt the first braxton hicks contraction....exciting.  :)  at one point i had to stop walking and just lean on my basket in the aisle...i am sure people were wondering/hoping this big old pregnant lady was not going into labor.  ha!

i went to the doctor last tuesday and little brother is looking good.  they told me he will likely be a healthy petite baby - that is just fine by me.  he is still growing and did not take a dip/decrease his growth rate which is exactly what we were hoping for.  he did have one little surprise for us though, he is breech right now.  i will go back for one more scan at 37 weeks to check on him and make sure everything still looks good and hopefully by then he will have turned around and gotten back into the correct position.

that is about it for updates this week.  we actually got to work on little brother's room this weekend.  we bought the paint 2 weeks ago and his room is now painted and we are ready to start decorating.  i am super excited to get his special little space ready.   some of the girls at work have started guessing when they think i will deliver and a couple of them were telling me he has dropped a lot already.  he has dropped a lot in the last week or so because i can actually breathe and there have been no kicks in the ribs (thanks to that breech position i guess).  ha!  here is the 34-week picture....yikes!  i am huge.



10/31/2011......34weeks 3 days!  ignore the weird look on my face!
