34 Weeks

So, all last week (and even a little bit today) we've had no internet.  We've had 2 trips from the cable company and over an hour on the phone with them on Friday.  We have 1 more trip out tomorrow (hopefully) and then we will be back on to the internet along with the rest of the world.  So, I do apologize for not posting last week.  I'm sure that my good friends at the cable company would love to talk about it. Ha ha.

This week can only be described as a complete whirlwind.

Saturday 3/3:  Soccer tourney in AUBURNDALE (1.5 hours away), followed by the arrival of my dad.

Sunday 3/4:  Church, Lukas and Dad go back to soccer tourney, bday cake for the bestie, and then a trip to Bob's (Bob Evans that is) and Target.

Monday 3/5:  First day of full time J-O-B.  Everything went great!  I feel so well adjusted to my class already and we are hammering through two large and fun projects in science and social studies (integrated into reading and writing!). 

Poppy and Cameron had a good day too!

Tuesday 3/7- Continue JOB, Lukas has late evening meeting.

Wednesday- 3/8- discover that our washing machine is broken.  Bad transmission.  How long have we been wearing dirty clothes?

Thursday- 3/9 discover that fixing the washer is going to cost $400.  Um.  No.  So we go buy a new one.

Friday:  Continue full time job.  Everyone has seemed to settle in really well. 

This weekend we've finished up some of sweet baby boy number 2's nursery projects (I promise I'll be showing you later), eaten Peeps S'mores (yum!), and hung out.  It's been relaxing and fun!


  • How far along?  34 weeks! 
  • Total weight gain/loss: +30
  • Maternity clothes? Yes.
  • Sleep: After this week of complete exhaustion?  YES.  Hard core.
  • Best moments this past week:  I was asking Cameron what the different animals said.  Then I asked him, "What does Cameron say?" He then responded with "MAY-MEM!"  That's his word for Amen.  Stinkin' cute!
  • Food cravings:  Coke.  I think my body was feeling the slight need for some minor caffeine.
  • Wedding rings.  On or off?  Still on!  For some reason I am incredibly impressed with this bit of information. 
  • Gender: boy
  • Movement:  Yes.  I can tell he's getting cramped in there.  So can my ribs. 
  • Labor Signs: No.  But I am really starting to wonder if he's going to make it to 40 weeks.  Not because we can't handle it or anything, but I feel legitimately more pregnant at this stage of pregnancy this time around. I feel bigger and I feel like he is lower.  Maybe that's a 2nd baby thing.
  • Belly Button in or out? In.  Flat.
  • What I miss:  A washing machine in my house.  It's getting delivered on Saturday. 
  • What I am looking forward to:  I am really motivated with nursery decorating right now.  I am looking forward to adding and completing the new pieces before having the baby!
  • Weekly Wisdom:  Paper plates (while not Earth friendly) do make for a good time saver on a really busy day!
  • Stretch marks? Nope.

  •   And now the baby is the size of a durian.  What's a durian you ask?  It is the item pictured above.  He can recognize songs and listen to conversations and he's getting lower.  I can definitely attest to that!

    Here is me this week: 


    This is not my favorite picture, but the better one, once again won't stop being sideways.  I'd like to note that I think I'm bigger than my 35 week picture from last pregnancy.  We'll see I guess!

    And here's what I was doing last time at this pregnancy time period.
