34 Weeks Today

Sorry for the lateness of my 34 week post!  Yesterday was a busy day with a trip to Rochester, necessary relaxing, baby-clothes/gear sorting, and dinner making--I just forgot to take the picture!  Tonight I went to the chiropractor AND had a prenatal massage so got home late.  My massage was fantastic.  Anyway, here's the growth (and I feel like there was a ton)!

And here's the update:
How Far Along: 34 weeeks
Size of baby: honeydew melon, 4 3/4 pounds, 18 inches (approximately)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: blah.  nearly 30 pounds!
Maternity Clothes: My regular button down shirts, which have been staples for work, no longer can button properly :(
Movement: We can always feel/see a mound to left of my belly button--her backside!  She punches/kicks way over on my right side.
Sleep: I'm still usually getting a good night's sleep.  I try to laze around in bed in the mornings to savor my freedom :)
Symptoms: Having some calf cramps from time to time, some swelling in my legs, too.  
What I miss: Lying flat on my stomach.  
Cravings: Nothing really.  I'm trying to up my protein intake to avoid blood sugar crashes.
Best Moment this week: my massage, duh.
Labor signs:  actually, dealt with some legitimate contractions a week and half ago--climbing 267 stairs in the Statehouse Rotunda/Dome tour, then shopping/walking for several hours two days in a row caused them.  Water and rest was the prescription to settle me down.
