34 Weeks!

Good morning!

 I hate Mondays, but at the same time, Mondays mean another week has gone by and the time until our little one comes has shrunk even more. I am 34 weeks pregnant as of yesterday! That is so crazy! I was looking at pictures last night and came across the one of my pee stick. I remember when I took the pregnancy tests; it seemed so unreal, it seemed like I would never ever be to the point I am today, and it seemed like June would never get here. June still feels too far away, but my due date is really only one month and ten days away. . .

I apologize for the "deer in headlights" look I'm giving. 
Why I chose to do that face, I have no idea.

I'm beginning to feel baby move on an hourly basis and it is awesome! If I could sit and just focus on feeling her movements all day long, I would. It's so incredible to feel her rolling around, kicking my ribs, and getting the hiccups!

Shane and I are so ready for this girl to be here! The nursery is done, the clothes are washed and organized, the hospital bags are packed, and the car seat is in the car. We have our birth class May 11th, and May 12th, my 37 week mark, we will begin trying to naturally induce labor. . . I don't want to hear about how that doesn't work and baby will come when she's ready, I already know all that. We really just want to do what we can to help pass the time. We're so insanely anxious for her arrival, I've never been so impatient for anything in my life!

I am so thankful that I have had a good pregnancy without any problems so far. With all the complications my sister had with her 3 pregnancies, I was convinced that something would go wrong by now, that I haven't been able to really enjoy being pregnant. I'm now at the point where I'm working on relaxing and enjoying the experience of growing a human in my belly. It really is an amazing thing, and I thank God every day for the opportunity to be able to do so.

  1. I am ALL for naturally inducing labor! Although it didn't actually start my labor, going on brisk walks totally made me have contractions. They weren't just braxton hicks, either, they actually hurt! Or you can do what my sister-in-law did, she jumped on a trampoline! Good luck! I hope something does the trick for you! :) Only a few more weeks to go!

  2. I remember feeling just like that!! I was like that with every baby, too. It's such an exciting time. I'm so happy you're able to enjoy it.

    When do we get to see pictures of the nursery??!??! ;)
