33 & 34 Weeks.

seems like fo-ever since i've blogged.
so so much has been going on, and finally, i am sitting here at my kitchen table catching a breath before i begin dinner for two.

these last couple of weeks have been something else....
with moving the entire week (yes, the entire week) to having my very last ultrasound on Tuesday...
life has been hectic.


so yes, we are finally moved in. i can't believe the day finally came...
we're still unpacking boxes, so at times it feels like we're living temporarily in a hotel. ha!
organizing rooms is tough being that was downsized our living space, however, i absolutely loveeeeee walking from room to room in a matter of seconds rather than climbing the evil stairs of death.  this casita is such a blessing, already!  thankful thankful!  i'll try and have pics up, soon... you know, minus the boxes and all. =]

*moving day*

today, i am 34 weeks and 4 days, and tomorrow....
well, tomorrow is June.  Will JUNE be the month, or will she wait until July 2?? ::shrugs::
either way, mama is carrying a 7lb baby.... yes 7lbs.  average weight for 34 weeks is nearly 5lbs. sooo, with that being said, i have to re-do my glucose test... yes, again. BLAH! that evil drink... i'm sure i would have LOVED it at the age of 5, but now... different story. ::gag::  we are pretty sure she is just long like her sister, however Aislynn was delivered at 40 weeks and was 8.5lbs.  if Bella decides to wait until 39 weeks, she'll be around 9-10lbs. ::OHEMGEE::   HOWEVER, the ultrasound is merely a guesstimate. so i could or could not have a gordita growing inside of me.

they also found very slight fluid in her left kidney... the doctor said, "its nothing to lose sleep over." but me?  well, i lose sleep over knowing there are dishes in the sink.  so, i cried and cried.  this entire pregnancy i have felt so completely helpless, especially with this move, which i probably did too much work anyway, however, its the one thing that bugs me.... not being able to help as much as i would like, and as much as some would need.  so you can imagine, knowing there is ANY fluid in my baby's kidney has me feeling like there is absolutely nothing i can possibly do.  we called the doctor again, today, to gather more information on the matter and perhaps schedule a 2nd ultrasound, but she did reiterate that it is nothing of concern, and should clear itself up before Bella even gets here.  i know God is in control and i have faith everything will work out according to His plan for my Bella Boo.  i am thankful nothing more severe was discovered, and that otherwise Bella is looking BELLA!  ps.  girlfrannn has A LOT of hair!

33 Weeks:

34 Weeks:

How far along? 34 weeks and 4 days
Maternity clothes? one maxi dress, 2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts...still. 

Stretch marks? YES! I have 2 that are about 1/4 of a inch long. =(

Sleep:  horrible horrible. the pain down below is crazy bad. when turning from side to another, there is ONE joint that ALWAYS pops, and I ALWAYS have to prepare myself for it. OUCH!

Best moment this week: Seeing Bella's ultrasound.... even if she was a stubborn chickadee!

Miss Anything? STILL dyingggg to head to the beach! Yes. Still.

Movement: All the time... however, its beginning to actually hurt a bit... i mean she's 7lbs already, so yeah. not much room for her to move, but she is already in position. the weirdest thing is feeling her arm or shoulder brush up against my pelvic bone... superrr freaky. lol

Food cravings: I just discovered Panera Bread. 'nough said.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing that hasn't in the past.... but my appetite has faded a bit.

 Have you started to show yet: very much so.... my belly feels like a basketball filled with entirely way too much air.

Gender: Princess
Labor Signs: YES! About once every hour or so.
Belly Button in or out?  In.
Wedding rings on or off? On, and SO happy its been on this long! I had to cut it off with Aislynn. =/
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to:  Finishing up Bella's room and Baby Shower. =]

Size of Baby: According to the ultrasound.... 7 whopping pounds! Geez!

Faith & Love,

Casey
