34 Weeks // Update

This week has been interesting. The days were filled and full of fun adventures with my little family, and the nights were filled with super uncomfortable contractions... A couple nights ago we were super close to going in to L&D because they were timeable and super uncomfortable & painful. Although I do have a pretty good pain tolerance I did not feel like they were real labor contractions they were a little bit under 10 min apart for about 4 hours and then woke me up again around 3 am with another set of some. Needless to say I was able to fall back asleep so we didn't call or go in. 

Luckily I had my appointment this week so I was able to talk to my Dr. about all of this. He said that we did the right thing, Over-hydrate, Tylenol and rest. He said that unfortunately I can have contractions as painful as full blown labor contractions but as long as they are not 5 min or less apart they will not bring the baby. Surely they will prob be helping the process along, but I will not have a baby. Since I am a day away from being 34 weeks he checked to make sure I wasn't super dilated, thankfully I am just slightly and she has not completely dropped so thankful to hear all of that. He said she will stay cooking for at least the next 3 weeks or more. Needless to say all of this news helped me relax quite a bit. After that night of contractions I have felt surprisingly well, so I have taken advantage of it and made the most of my days getting things cleaned and organized.

Total weight gain: 18 Pounds seems to be sticking. I have been eating super healthy lately, minus the bowl of ice cream at night ;) oops..

 Maternity clothes: I have been living in my Liz Lange Maternity Dress, as well as leggings and an over sized t-shirt {the one pictured last week}

Stretch marks: No, I use Bio Oil as well as the Honest Belly Balm night and morning. Highly recommend the honest belly balm. Really hoping this duo helps throughout the pregnancy.

Sleep: Having a hard time falling asleep, and once I do I usually wake up about 3 times to go to the bathroom..

Best moment of this week: Having my husband home all week to hang out with. Getting plenty of quality time with him doing all the little things we love. Also enjoying watching Lucy play and learn new things each day. 

Miss anything: My pre-pregnancy body. Wine. Running. Exercising. Laying on my belly. normal amount of energy. Patience. Appetite. 

Movement: ALL.THE.TIME. She seriously wraps her little legs and pushes them into my side, makes my body look super weird ;) 

Food cravings: Ice Cream.

 Happy or moody most of the time: Happy mood a good majority of the time. Alex said I have been sassy all week ;) I love to give him a hard time.. like all the time! We have a lot of fun around our house. Although when I am having contractions.. that is a different story.

Looking forward to: Having a fun day with my girlfriends on Saturday!!
