And Yet, Another Pregnancy Update!

Hello fellow blog readers! You read the title, here is another pregnancy update for all of you curious folks out there. :-) This week is my 34th week! Which means, if the baby was born now, she has an excellent chance of survival. But I would like her to hold on for at least 4 more weeks. I have a wedding to go to and I'd rather not give birth on the reception floor. Now THAT would make for an interesting story right? Still, I would rather be spared of that drama. So baby girl, you stay put until at least the tail end of January. Capiche? Capiche.

I have a couple of pics of my prego belly to share with you all. I think people like seeing pics of my pregnant belly more than I do. But I guess I understand because most of you haven't seen me in my physical pregnant state because we live in different states. So allow me to indulge you. :-)

Picture number one was taken December 19th at the tail end of my 32nd week. Well according to my February 13th due date, but I'm still saying February 9th. :-p What does the ultrasound tech know anyway? Just kidding, she most likely knows more then I do, but she still doesn't know how to give good ultrasound pics.Sorry that my picture is blurry. My camera doesn't take the clearest pictures and my hand isn't very steady in that position. But whatevs!

Next picture is one of me today! At 34 weeks. As you can see, I am growing out of some of my (and Lindsey's cause she let me borrow hers) maternity clothes. That's not depressing or anything...

Give it one more week and I guarantee this shirt won't fit me anymore. Tis a shame cause it was one of my favorites to wear.

I had my 34th week check up today. All is well with me and baby girl Havican. I am weighing in at 166 which means my total weight gain so far with this pregnancy is 24. Not bad, not bad. They say, (as in the book, What to Expect When You're Expecting) that during the last few weeks of your pregnancy the weight gain slows down or stops completely. If that's the case, then I may get lucky and stop under 30 pounds. I would like that. The less I have to lose the better! My blood pressure has been very ideal during my whole pregnancy. Thank goodness. Today it was at 120/60 which is very normal and healthy. :-) I know that anything could happen between now and the due date and I am not oblivious to that, but I am grateful for the little successes along the way. Either way, I am aiding in a beautiful spirit to come to earth to receive a body and I feel like it's one of the best things I could ever do with my life.

We are slowly getting the room together and will hopefully have it done before we go to California so stay tune for pics of that. :-)

Lovies to all!

  2. I grew out of that shirt quickly. I found a preggers undershirt (I think at Kohls) that went down quite far that ended up allowing me to get a couple more weeks out of it. yay!
