34.5 Weeks (and some baby shower flashbacks...)

Hello again everyone! I swear every time I think of doing a blog I'm either in my car, at work or Adam's not around to take a photo to post...so I finally figured out a good spot to balance the camera and use the timer and just took the picture myself! :) So here's my picture courtesy of camera timers... :)

As you can see Peanut continues to be quite the space hog, taking up more and more room in mommy! I vary between feeling as though my stomach is a reverse punching bag (being punched from the inside out) and that driving me nuts to thinking it's really neat and cute...but lately more feeling the punching bag! Especially after having trouble trying to sleep last night.

The pelvic mis-alignment seems to have somewhat sorted itself out, for the most part it's just uncomfortable in the mornings, but other than that pretty good. Although Adam accused me of "waddling" the other day when we were shopping - that was very encouraging! :) Oh well.

Weight has still not been an issue, which has been a nice treat! At my last check-up I had gained only about 1/4 of a pound from 2 weeks before bringing my total to 17 pounds gained, can't believe it! Still am so suprised that I haven't been totally huge like I expected. But enjoying that I can indulge in special treats that usually make me gain weight is nice, will probably be going out for ice-cream with a good friend this evening for dessert!

Anyhow, that's all for now, hopefully post again sooner than last (as I always say I know...). Here's some pictures from my baby shower my sister threw for me on June 13th, enjoy!

Anna...with Adam hopefully on his way home from work and Nanook still enjoying being outside on the porch. :)

31 Weeks


So the picture is from a couple of days ago, but Adam's not here to take an updated photo, so we'll use that! Took it the other day but with a crazy week, yet again, we did not have time to actually put the picture up. But the crazy week has passed, so hopefully we'll have a bit more time to relax. We can hope!


Well we're down to single digits for weeks before baby arrives, can't believe it! Probably about 7 weeks before I'll be on Maternity leave - which is only a month and a half! Wow! But I know I'm getting closer, really feeling the baby move around now - can even see it from time to time. Was sitting down relaxing in front of the tv the other day and saw my belly shift abruptly from one side to the other, an interesting experience that's for sure! Still a bit weird to feel something moving so much down there.


The pelvic mis-alignment is slowly starting to be managed. As long as I don't over-exert myself (which I do tend to do with a crazy schedule, but getting better) then I don't hurt AS much. Last Sunday I managed to get out of bed with no pain - but that's the only day that's happened so far. But pain is definetly less frequent and not as extreme, for the most part. Now it's just bad days instead of bad all day.


Signing off with intentions of writing again soon! I promise we really don't mean to leave it so long, weekly really is the goal, not every 3... :)
