34 Weeks out of 40!!!!!!

So, this is how far along I am. We reached 34 weeks (42 days to go) yesterday. I went for a Doctors appointment yesterday and everything seems to be going well. Dr. Felski says that Joseph will weigh at least as much as Addy (8 lbs. 2 oz.) and may be a little bigger. We'll have to wait and see! While I was at my appointment there was a new mom there with her 2-week old son. It looked like he weighed about 6 or 7lbs. (He was adorable!) I was telling the mom how cute I thought her son was and Doctor Felski said to me, "This is NOT the size of baby you have." I was not sure if I should be proud to have a large baby, or be scared of the delivery. O-well. I guess whatever happens is going to happen regardless.

Little Joseph doesn't feel so little while he is growing inside of me. He is VERY active. But when I want to cry because I am tired of being kicked from the inside out, I remind myself that his being active is a good sign of my little baby being healthy and strong. We have 6-weeks go to until my "due date." (August 21st.) I am hoping and praying that he comes as close to his due date as possible. Addy was 6 days late. Dr. Felski says he won't let me go any longer than one week over. (Thank goodness!!!!)

Overall, I feel like this pregnancy has gone well. I don't really have room to complain. I have been so busy this time around that the last 9-months have gone by pretty fast. However, I am looking forward to getting my body back to myself. (While I am pregnant, I don't feel like I get any "me time.")

Also, I am really looking forward to seeing what Joseph looks like. I can hardly wait to kiss his little cheeks and have him wrap his little hand around my finger. I know this also means I will be going without sleep for several months, but I'm not sleeping so well right now anyway! I am getting to the point that I would rather have my baby in my arms than in my belly. It's just a matter of time now. I will patiently (as I can) play the waiting game.
