Baby BOY DeSalvo - Week 34 Update

How Far Along: 34 weeks, 3 days

Total Weight Gain: Since week four, I have officially gained (you may need to sit down to hear this)...38 pounds. Whoa!

Maternity Clothes: NO doubt! Now that it is finally staying warm, my wardrobe has consisted of leggings and dresses and long skirts.

Favorite Moment This Week: Last Tuesday, we had our maternity photos taken by one of our dear friends who just so happens to be due the exact same day as us! Her husband tagged along and we made it a double date...photos followed by Lulu's Thai!

Gender: BOY!

Movement: He is VERY active! At our appointment this week, the doctor had a hard time getting a good read on the heart because his movement kept interrupting it!

Food Cravings: Same, but I've been craving ice cold Shatto milk again! I'm averaging 1-2 glasses a day.

What I Miss: Being able to wear any shoes I want. I am now only able to wear my Sanuk flip flops or my Nike tennis shoes...

Sleep: Still getting up frequently to use the restroom and having a hard time finding a position to be comfortable in all night. I really miss sleeping on my back and tummy.

What I am Looking Forward to: We're packing our hospital bags this weekend and getting the car seat installed on Tuesday. It's all beginning to seem so real and I LOVE every minute of it!

Symptoms: Puffy feet and ankles, VERY sore feet

Belly Button: OUT

Next Dr. Appointment: We have an ultra sound next Thursday to re-check my placenta previa. If it is still present, I will have a C-section. If it has shifted a good amount, I will be able to go natural.

Contractions: Some mild cramping every few days.

 34 weeks - May 6, 2013

Trying shoes on when feet are at their puffiest proved very difficult.
