34 wk bump update

How I’m Feeling/Updates:
I made it to 34 weeks! I have my scan/appt tomorrow – so we’ll see how the girls are growing & schedule the induction! But all in all, I’m just done. I want to keep them in until 37 wks – but I won’t lie and say I won’t be miserable that entire time – because I will be.

My sweet friend, Jess, came over last week and hung up tissue poms (made by my other lovely friend Gabby) in the girl’s rooms. I put some stuff in frames & I’m pretty sure the only thing that’s missing is a few photos in frames, making the bunting & getting their bedding. Not too shabby considering they won’t be in their rooms for a while anyway!

My RLS (restless leg syndrome) is only around on occasion now & I’ve been experiencing the pregnancy insomnia. I don’t remember getting this with the boys – and it SUCKS! Last night I was miserable, in tears just wanting to fall asleep. I ended up in the spare room after coming downstairs & messing around until 1am. Boo.

Braxton Hicks are still around as well. I had them pretty bad this weekend when we took a trip to a drive through safari park. I didn’t drink as much as I was supposed to bc then I’d need to pee – well, dehydration causes BH. THEN – when I did have to pee I’d get them bc a full bladder causes them too. Pretty much it was a double edged sword. Either way I was screwed.

Baby Movement:
They are still moving around quite a bit, but they do have “rest” periods now. They always move after I eat & right before I go to sleep. I’m thinking it’s because they are excited about the food & they want to give me a taste of what I’ll be going through with a lack of sleep here in the next couple weeks.

Weight Gain:
I started at 127 before I got pregnant – but was trying to get down to 125. So I consider my “goal” weight to be my “start” weight so that I can judge what I’m gaining based off of where I want to be afterwards.
