34 Weeks Pregnant

5-4-2011

3 weeks ago, when I went to the doctor, he said he thought the baby was smaller this pregnancy than with Landon. At today's doctors appointment, my doctor had to run out to a delivery so I had to see the nurse. I've never been measured before, usually my doctor just feels my stomach, the nurse measured me and said it should equal in centimeters how many weeks along I am. So at 34 weeks I should be about 34 centimeters from top of belly to bottom. I measured about 32. Cross your fingers that this baby is smaller and comes on time or early, because Landon was a week early and weighed 8 lbs 10 oz.

I'm more tired again, my body hurts most days and I get sore easily. I think baby shifted recently from his sideways position he's been in for a while to upside down, which means more bathroom breaks, he tends to push down on my bladder a lot more. He leaves my ribs mostly alone though.

I feel more confident, that I'll be able to handle a baby, having already done it once now. I don't think I'll be scared to "break" him like I was with Landon. And this time I know what I'm getting into with sleepless nights and everything that comes with a new baby. I'm starting to get more excited, although it feels like it's coming too fast. (only 6 weeks now!) This pregnancy has flown by!
