34 weeks & counting

34 weeks! That's like 3 weeks from full term! We have had such a fun and busy week with my birthday, the Fourth of July & Leighton's birthday and we still have a wedding & Leighton's party before the weekend is over. Oh my, July is busy and I LOVE it!

Here is my 34 weeks update and some pictures from my birthday weekend with Toby :)

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 34 Weeks

Size of baby: Large cantaloupe (5.5 lbs, up tp 22 inches)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +22 lbs. Not many weigh-ins left. Thank goodness :)

Maternity Clothes: New favorite MUST HAVE. Ann Taylor Loft cotton dresses. They were on sale this weekend for 40% off so I bought one when I stopped by on Friday night and went back on Saturday to buy one in every color :) They are perfect for summer & I can wear them this fall when I am "in-between" sizes.

Gender: GIRL!

Movement: Ouch! She digs what I think is her little hand into my lower left side about a million times a day. It is like a jolt of pain & yes I do scream :) She is definitely running out of room :)

Before our delicious dinner date at Mitchell's Fish Market & Churchill Downs night racing. I love spending time with Toby!

What I miss: Sleeping in ANY position without feeling guilty. The left side just isn't my fave position.

Cravings: Ice cold milk. Food is starting to gross me out. I think it's because I feel SO full after I eat. The spicy shrimp cocktail on our dinner date was an exception. So delicious!

On the Jockey Suites balcony at Churchill. I won $25 on a horse named "Thankfulness" All my blessings make me so thankful but I need to do a better job of showing just how thankful I am!

Symptons: Super tired all the time and lots of sciatica pain :( Also feel like I am starting to retain some water (thanks summer heat & humidity). I got super sick after my birthday dinner at a Cuban restaurant. I haven't been that sick in a LONG time. I should have known it would happen though. Baby Gracen doesn't like cheesecake, what made me think she would be a fan of empanadas & chimichurri sauce??? NEVER AGAIN!

Before said Cuban dinner. Taking a self-portrait in the car like we used to do when we were dating :)

And finally, here is the "official" belly shot from my birthday wearing my fave new dress in grey :)
