34 weeks

This pregnancy is flying by...don't want Baby #2 to feel neglected so here are my "For the Records":

How big is baby? Not sure...I would guess around 4.5 to 5 pounds, I have been measuring right on to a week behind as far as belly, which is larger than with Lane. I usually was 2 weeks behind. Dr. E said this baby should be right around the same size. I have only had 2 ultrasounds this time, versus whenever I wanted with Lane, (my previous job had an ultrasound machine on site) so it is kind of funny because I just don't get to go check on him whenever I want. We also didn't do the 4D this time as last time after three tries we still didn't get a good shot.

Maternity clothes?: Summer is awesome for being pregnant as far as dressing goes. Yes, you deal with a little heat, but I LOVE being able to throw on white jeans and a loose airy top or shorts and a maternity T with flip flops. Heaven.  Accessories are more fun as well with all of the cute turquoise and coral out for the season. My go to jeans are Gap and Maternal America from Swanky Stork. 

I bought these little flip flops the beginning of the summer for a comfy throw on and they are amazing. Like walking on a cloud...and for 30 dollars, worth every penny.

Sleep?: Not so much. Baby boy #2 is very active at night, especially around 2:15 am. I hope this is not an indication that he is a night owl. I am still exercising regularly with tennis, walking, and such and this I think helps on the sleep front. The days I am really active, I do sleep harder.

Food cravings?: Nothing crazy...carbs and sweets, but oh wait, that is all the time. I have not eaten as much chocolate cake this time, but filled in pretty well with Reese's and brownies. I am having more heartburn than with Lane, so I eat a larger lunch and then smaller dinner and that helps keep it at bay. I have had several tomato sandwiches for dinner this past week, and they have hit the spot!

Movement?: VERY active now, more so than with Lane. I can see him roll around and see my stomach move.

Belly button?: it is half in half out, sweet. looks great in my swim suit. NOTE:lots of sarcasm

What are you looking forward to in the next week?: another beach trip!

Drs. Visits?: I go in the 22nd, and then every week. I had blood work done last visit to check my platelet levels, and praise the Lord everything was fine (178 to be exact). I was nervous about this bc with Lane my platelet level got so low I was very close to not being able to have an epidural. As I told Dr. E, I do not have a natural birth plan. As quoted from one favorite movies Baby Mama:

(preface: this is when they are in birthing class)
 "Now who is having an all natural birth?"
(everyone raises their hands)
Instructor: "And who is going to use toxic drugs to get rid of the pain?"
Angie:
(raises both hands up while bouncing on the ball)

"Whoop, Whoop!!!"

Hello scary

I am very excited about meeting this baby boy, I can't wait to see what his little personality is...I also am excited nervous to see how Lane reacts. Any suggestions from moms out there on the best way to ease the transition for the new siblings?
