34+ weeks

I promise I try not to be a complete failure.  But it seems as though life has gotten in the way of blogging for almost a month now.  Lots has happened, so I will try to fill everyone in.

I will officially be 35 weeks on Saturday.  We have been headed to the doctor every two weeks but starting next Friday it will be a weekly adventure.  We are two classes away from completing Childbirth Class and have already completing Breastfeeding Class (which probably was Kyle's favorite...NOT).  Things have been going extremely well.  As of last week's appointment our doctor shared that everything was excellent.  The heart beat continues to be strong in the 150s and my tummy is measuring the right length.  It is crazy to look back at pictures when I though I was big compared to now, and I am pretty sure that I am not done growing.  Here is a look:

How far Along: 34 weeks + 5 days

Size of baby: Baby A is just over 5 pounds

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I have gained about 22 pounds

Maternity Clothes: A combination of maternity and non-maternity clothing.

Gender: BOY!

Movement: Lots of movement, especially in the evenings. We call it the nightly dance party.

Sleep: Much harder lately.  I wake a lot and frequently can't get comfortable.

What I miss: sleeping on my stomach.

Cravings: Milk

Symptoms: By the end of the day, my body is sore all over.

Best Moment of the last couple weeks: Everything...I can't decide on one thing.  We are enjoying every moment of things right now, because we know our life is changing soon.

Also, we had another shower hosted by Kyle's aunts and sister.  The Kruizenga and Jensen families were well-represented, and Baby A got lots of great things.  Here is a quick glance at the day (I still need to get all the pictures for my own file):

Thanks Kirsten!  Butt paste is important. :)

Great-Grandpa Lyle made Baby A a cradle.

The rocking chair that was once Kyle's mom's will now serve Baby A.
