34 weeks.

We're getting close, extremely close but I still have 6-8 weeks left and I feel like they are going to pass very slowly. Things are starting to come together!!

For starters the nursery is finally (almost) done!! It feels like took forever. We have a few finishing touches left like the crib set and curtains for that will be the closet doors! I'm in love with the room, in fact I might be a little jealous! lol So here's what it looked like before...white, all solid white. Boring, to say the least!                                                                                                                                         

But thanks to some hard work, mostly by Eric and my sister Tessa...it is looking much much better now. I can't wait to put the finishing touches on and post the final results. in the mean time , here's how it looks!

Also this past week we ordered our birth kit (a little late) and a friend let us use borrow her birth pool, we just have to gather a few more supplies and hope that Lennon doesn't want to make her arrival before 37 weeks and we are ready for a home birth!! :) We started out birth classes on Monday and Me and Lennon had an appointment with our midwives on Tuesday. Everything is looking good, I'm still having to keep an eye on my blood sugar but it's been good for the most part, as long as I eat every few hours. Which isn't hard to do, growing a baby makes you hungry.. but I have been having to wake up at night and eat, or else my blood sugar spikes pretty high after I eat breakfast. That's kind of a pain, but totally worth it to insure that both Lennon and I stay healthy. As always, my blood pressure was fantastic, Lennon's heart rate was a strong 160 bpm and she's head down! She also hit quite a growth spurt in the 2 weeks since my last check-up my uterus went from measuring at 31cm (at the last 2 appts) to 35 at this appt, and Becca mentioned while feeling for her position that she had grown quite a bit! I am a little anxious to see how big she is going to be, i've been expecting a big baby this whole pregnancy, and while that is a bit of a fear... i'm starting to think she is going to be average size! We'll see in a few months. 

How far along? 34 weeks (and 4 days)
How big is baby? the size us a butternut squash! :P
How I'm feeling? Pretty good, with the exception of a  few aches and pains. I did have a few days of being "over" being pregnant, but that passed, for now.
Weight Gain? I'm up to about 16lbs total.
 How I'm changing? As on friend I ran into at the store said, I look like i'm ready to pop!!
Symptoms: normal aches and pains. 

 Highlights from the past few weeks: Getting a lot of stuff checked off of my 'to-do/get' list.

and now for the bump pic.. excuse the yoga pants and funny face I was making... it was one of those rough days!! 

    

















Well that's it for now, I have another check-up in 2 weeks and then it's on to weekly check-ups!! EEKKKK!
