34 weeks

And here we are, back from Christmas vacation!! I thought for sure after all the holiday eating I would have packed on at least 5 lbs (I mean, that's what USUALLY happens, right?) but I've been holding pretty steady at 1 lb per week weight gain. BR must have really stocked up because she's feeling much heavier now. Plus I think she 'dropped.' The day before we left I felt the pressure move from my upper body to my lower body. When I'm pushing on my belly, I can feel the baby much lower in my pelvis now. I'm so excited that things are happening and that my body is preparing to deliver this little girl! BR weighs as much as a cantaloupe this week, real close to 5lbs. We'll find out in a few weeks a closer estimate to how much she weighs when we get an ultrasound done for measurements a week 36. I'm really curious to see how big she is now :) BR is about the length of a loaf of bread. Reminds me of the episode of the Cosby show where Cliff gives birth to a huge sub sandwich :) She's still moving quite a bit and is obviously not happy with how tight things are getting in my belly.

  1. You're getting so close! I remember Hannah dropping at 37 weeks and I had her a few days later. It's the home stretch Mama!
