Week 34

These pictures are definitely not the best, but we haven't taken pictures of my belly for a very long time. Here I am at 34 weeks. At my appointment a week ago I had gained a total of 24 pounds. We measured me all the way around and I was 40 1/2 inches. That seems so big! I can't believe that I only have 6 weeks left. I am due February 17. I really feel like this whole pregnancy has gone by way too fast. I don't think it has dragged on at all. I really have been enjoying it so far. The only problems I have really had are pains on the right side of my ribs and some back pain. But I feel really good so hopefully that doesn't change anytime soon.

This week I have had more people who come into my work on a regular basis notice that I am pregnant then I have the whole pregnancy. Or so it feels like. They will ask me if I am expecting and they will say they had no idea. It just makes me laugh because I felt I have had a baby bump for quite a while. But I am reminded almost daily that I am not very big for being due next month. I take after my mom. She never got that big when she was pregnant. People say I am lucky so as long as I can still put on my own shoes, I am happy!

The effects of having a baby are all ready changing what we can do and he isn't even here yet! There have been a couple trips that we have wanted to take this summer with friends and because of our Little One we aren't able to go. It is okay of course, we are both very excited to start our family. We can't wait to meet our little guy.
