What's baby up to this week? She is the size of a cantaloupe, measuring almost 18" long and weighs around 4 3/4 pounds. Fat layers, which help to regulate her temperature after birth, are filling her out and making her rounder. The central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well.
What's been going on with mom? Another stressful week at work prepping for a home show. I seemed to be the only one who cared, but I just decided that my tolerance threshold for the project was going to be capped. I can't take anymore stress and need to focus on keeping my blood pressure down. My mom loaned me her blood pressure cuff, so I have been trying to keep an eye on things.
Symptoms: Exhaustion, heartburn, CRAZY ACNE, and just all over aches and pains. The Braxton hicks seemed to slow down lately and I haven't seen or heard much from them. Getting up to pee every night at 2am is just fun!
Yummy/Icky: Chocolate......looking forward to Halloween and getting some of Emma's loot!
Clothing: All maternity....I'm just trying to be comfortable. NOT WORKING.
Movement: Lots of rolling and stretching. She loves to push on this one tiny spot on my abdomen and it hurts. Starting to feel more pressure....ahem....down there.
Belly Button In/Out: Teeny tiny, almost to the flat point!
Wedding Rings On/Off: Off for the remainder of this program.
Best Moment this Week: My aunt came into town and we spent some time with her. It's fun watching Emma play with new people.
Looking forward to: Halloween! I failed and had to buy Emma a store bought costume, but I still think she's going to be adorable!
Week 34 with Emma
