34 weeks! or 8.5 months!

Hey family and friends! I am proud of myself that I am actually updating my blog on time this week. This week has been really good for me! I started my real estate classes on Wednesday and found a way to finish in 4 weeks instead of 6 weeks! I was getting nervous because originally my last class would end on my due date which is not good! Doing the class in 4 weeks will give me enough time to hopefully pass the class and state exam and be done in time for baby Sev. Cross your fingers for me!


Brandon and I went to our 34 week appointment yesterday and everything was measuring well. My blood pressure keeps getting better and better and little man is head down and ready for action in the next month! It was funny too because two weeks ago his heartbeat was at 140bpm and this week it was 120bpm. The doctor goes "oh yeah it's a boy for sure" haha. That confirmation felt good especially since it's boy central over here! 


Today Brandon and I went on a lunch date to Chilis and to see the movie "what to expect when expecting". It was kind of embarrassing walking into the theater 8.5 months pregnant (It's a movie joking about pregnancy) but after looking around I realized I was 1 of about 10 preggo chicks in there. The movie was hilarious by the way and I highly recommend seeing it!


I'm feeling pretty enormous and hot these days. I think about 3 times a day I say to myself "I wish I was in Michigan right now." I don't think anyone can truly understand what 110 feels like until you are in it! Bring pregnant and dealing with it is not fun and I'm nervous to see what our electric bill is this month...eek! I just keep reminding myself that it's ok to chill out once in awhile even though it's kinda tough for me! I hope you all have a great week and don't forget to keep in touch I miss you all! Here are just a couple of pics from this week:







Both boys stuck their tongue out at me...I am going to be very out numbered soon!
My project this week....added some balls to the lamp!:)

Holy Belly!

34 weeks pregnant

Watch what you say! Your curious baby is listening in to your conversations at 34 weeks -- and might enjoy a lullaby or two -- so go ahead and sing to him. Some say that baby will recognize songs mom sings while he’s in the womb, and may even be more easily soothed by them if he’s used to them once he’s on the “outside.” At week 34, you might breathe a little easier, since baby may descend lower into your pelvis and give your lungs some space. (Ahh!) Of course, some babies don’t do this until the day they’re born, so we’re not making any guarantees. The pitfall of this descent, of course, is even more pressure on your bladder, so be prepared to make even more trips to the ladies room over the coming weeks.
Your baby's the size of a butternut squash!
At less than two months to go, he weighs in at about 4.2 pounds to 5.8 pounds and measures about 17.2 to 18.7 inches.

your baby at 34 weeks
  • He's recognizing and reacting to simple songs, if you're singing them. (If you're not, start! He may find them soothing after birth.)
  • He's also urinating about a pint a day.
