Happy Spring!! (34 Weeks)

Today is the first day of spring and what a beautiful day it is. Currently 65, sunny, and not a cloud in the sky! Our 34 week appt. went perfect yesterday. Baby is officially head down!! Whoop woop. Baby has been in the same position for a week or so and it's butt is very prominent on my left side, so thank  goodness Dr. Dodson confirmed its position.

Baby's heart rate was 138-140 and growing perfectly. I'm now on. A weekly schedule. Next week is my Group B Strep test.

Size of Baby: 4.75 lbs, 18 in, a cantaloupe
Total Weight Gained/Lost:  +19 lbs
Maternity Clothes: the ones that still fit :/
Movement: kicks and punches have slowed down but they are much stronger now. Strong kicks to my ribs or bladder often make me jump.
Sleep: So-so. It's 2:12am and I'm wide awake in bed typing this. Been up since 12:45...
What I miss: clothes fitting properly! I've almost outgrown all of my cute maternity clothes. 
Cravings: chocolate! Ice cream, fruit, all things sweet.
Symptoms: fatigue, hot flashes, constant hunger, heartburn, sharp sharp sharp ligament pain in my lower left abdomen. It only seems to bother me at night.
Highlights from this week: Welcoming spring with open arms ( and a ginormous belly).
