34 Week Check Up!




I had my 34 Week checkup today!
Caroline is head down and her heart beat was very strong.
I look so forward to going to my checkups even when they don't do anything special :)


At the next appointment (36 weeks) I will receive another ultra-sound. I have not gained any weight in the past month and they just want to make sure the baby's growth is on track. I have been eating pretty well (3 meals a day plus snacks) and keeping everything down. So hopefully the baby is getting what she needs. My husband comments constantly that my arms and legs look thinner...so my unmedical theory is that she is stealing what she needs from me! So while she is getting bigger and stronger....I'm NOT! Which I will try to fix by eating a little more! It's just difficult because as my belly grows my stomach is so compressed I have less appetite...But
I'm going to get as many good calories in as I can for Miss Caroline. But the silver lining in that not so great news is that I do get another ultra sound!!! Which usually you don't get this far along, so I get to see my baby before she arrives...AGAIN :)


I feel good still. Not too big and uncomfortable, although by the end of the day I'm so achy from being out and about. My iron levels are still low and I'm still anemic so that adds to me being extra tired...but other than that I'm feeling okay!



Here are a couple of cute outfits she's received as shower gifts!
A "future Miss America" sleep sack from my sister!
An adorable swim suit from my cousins!

And here is my husband teaching me how to "swaddle" a baby...using my cat :) hehe....
Don't worry, the cat was purring once he was all snug in that blanket!
