34 week update :)

I had an appointment with my OB this morning...everything is looking great! The only bit of advice she gave me was to eat more! Haha! Since my appt 2 weeks ago I have lost 1 pound, which she said isn't totally uncommon being that I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy I may continue to lose. She says my belly is measuring perfectly so she isn't worried about it. She just suggests that I eat more to make up for it. I feel like I eat all day long as it is, especially with this heartburn I can't eat too much at once! My stomach has gone from the size of my fist to what I feel like is the size of peanut..hehe...okay maybe it's not THAT squished in there but the smallest bit of food fills me up! So I'll have one more 2 week appt and then I'll start seeing her every week! Hallelujah its almost over! I'll soon be able to reach my feet again...who am I kidding...I'll soon be able to SEE my feet again :) I am just so excited to meet our little lovebug:) We are so thankful that my pregnancy has been a pleasant one and Ava has been healthy and developing right on track! She is a model child already:) I can only hope for a textbook delivery as well...


Eric is about to leave for his last out-of-town-trip before baby comes:( I'm just a tad nervous...this will be close to a two week trip for him. I figure if we plan for me to go in labor while he's gone then it won't happen:) So, we've packed a bag with a few necessities and told neighbors & family/friends to be ready just in case. You know it always works that way....when you're most unprepared something will take you by surprise! Eric says his work already knows to put him on the first flight home if I do need him....very reassuring! Because our little Ava has done everything by the book so far I'm sure she'll only come when she's absolutely ready, which isn't for another 4-6 weeks... *cross your fingers* I guess I'm due for my 8 1/2 month belly pic already too...I'll get that before Eric leaves town, by the time he gets back I'll be 9 months along! Very strange how you're actually pregnant for 9 1/2 to 10 months....nobody told me that in the beginning:)
