34 Weeks


How Far Along:
34 Weeks Along (03/20/2014)
Cravings:
Chocolate. I gave it up for lent, so now I just would love to have any bit of chocolate possible! But in general, I haven't been nearly as hungry anymore. I am getting full so quickly, so I just find myself grazing throughout the day. I think my stomach is officially out of room for anything else right now! 
How Am I Feeling:
Great!! Spring break is all next week! We are going to SD again this weekend for Sonny's baptism and then I am staying to help out at the Tewalts until Wednesday! I am so excited for my extra time with Sonny, but nervous to be away from my Anniston for so long! This is the longest I'll ever have been away from her, but I know she will be amazing! 
Belly Button: 
Still popped out and Anniston is very amused by this! Its adorable listening to her giggle whenever she sees it or touches it! She has been a lot better about talking to the baby or rubbing my stomach. I think she is starting to understand that there is a baby inside of me, but I think she will fully understand once baby actually arrives! I mean, how does one really explain that to a toddler?!
Sleep:
The weird pregnancy dreams are coming back for me! I want to say thats's normal to have strange dreams while you're pregnant - I think I read that somewhere. But the topics I dream about lately are so bizarre! 
Miss Anything: 
Moving...at a normal speed. Just the other day it was really windy out and I was carrying Anniston. So naturally I tried to "run" into the store. By the time I got inside HyVee I was panting and instantly had to use the bathroom. Can't wait to get from point A to point B at a regular pace again! 
Movement:
I have been having a lot of hiccups lately. At least that is what I am calling them. It is like my entire vibrates for 5 seconds and then I don't feel anything for an hour. Strange? Yes. Normal. I guess so - according to my doctor anyways! 
Most Exciting Moment This Week:
Like I said previously, it is FINALLY spring break! I am ready to have a break from school to go help with Sonny for a few days! It is his baptism on Sunday and Nickolas and this week we were asked to  be his godparents! We feel so blessed to be a part of such a beautiful experience! 
Looking Forward To:  
Finishing up the nursery! We are SOOOO close and I am just obsessed with the woodland theme so far! It is so adorable and different that I cannot wait to post pictures! I am very grateful for Nickolas. He has done a TON of work in the nursery. Our babies are so lucky to have such a loving, creative and imaginative daddy!
About Baby R:
Baby is almost 5 pounds and 18 inches long! No wonder my ribs are constantly getting kicked! If this baby is anything like Anniston, it is probably longer at this point - Anniston was 22inches long! It's nervous system and lungs are continuing to mature in the next few weeks!

Here is me at 34 weeks with Anniston! We went to cheer Nickolas on for his Marathon!
