The 6 week conundrum...



How far along? 34 weeks today. only 6 more to go. (crossing fingers)

Baby:  Our little guy is roughly the size of a cantaloupe, and he is active, and strong, and a very good kicker.

Stretch marks? Yes yes, and a few more now. Apparently he doesn't have enough room lol.

Weight gain? Depressing. I think I've hit the 33 mark, and I have 6 weeks left...he's only gonna get bigger. On the plus side, I don't feel like a whale quite yet.

Sleep: Not so much fun still. I wake up at least 3 times during the night, usually to pee, but sometimes just to wake up. My comfort level while I'm sleeping is minimal it seems.

Movement: Lots of it! He's one active little bugger. He's made my tummy jiggle with his little wriggles quite often. I like watching him move, I just wish it didn't hurt as much lol. 
Cravings: Chocolate is good, but mostly I'm just content to find something to eat that sounds appetizing. Food doesn't exactly have much room to fit anymore.

Symptoms: Lower back ache--probably sciatica. Today, the doc said he thinks the baby is currently sunny side up, which isn't ideal for delivery and definitely makes my life much more painful in the lower back region. Hoping he moves and twists around before he's due to come cuz I really don't want back labor.
                      
Wedding ring on or off? :( Off. I was getting too scared of it not coming off and now I can't get it back on without feeling like it'll just stay there. I have a fake one, but my ring size is officially a bit bigger. I'll survive, but I miss my wedding ring...

Happy or moody most of the time? I'm feeling a bit more moody right now, but I think it's just the back pain talking.

Looking forward to: Seeing him and officially deciding on a name. We have one, but we wanna see him first to decide it fits. Baby shower is in a week and a half, so I can finally go crazy getting the rest of the baby supplies (aka carseat, clothes, diapers, etc.)          

Things to Stress About: Learning to be a mom. It's tough to be pregnant and take care of friends babies. I can hardly fathom doing it with my own. It's kind of scary that Danny and I will be responsible for caring for a tiny little baby.

How is the Husband Doing? He's very patient and willing to help me when I need help. He's definitely excited to finally have our baby here. I am too--who wouldn't be after this long! I can hardly wait to see him hold the baby! Please someone, hit the fast forward button on our lives so we can get to the end faster!
