Pregnancy Highlights for Week 34

Week 34: The Baby Bump

Pregnancy Highlights for the Week:

How Far Along: 34 Weeks

Fruit/Veggie: Cantaloupe

Size: Josh is clocking in at five pounds and could be as tall as 20 inches by now.


Baby changes: The vernix (the white coating protecting your baby’s skin) is getting thicker. This week, a boy's testicles start making their way down. In other baby-related developments, those tiny fingernails have probably reached the tips of his fingers by now — and getting ready for that first postpartum manicure.

Best Moments this week:
1) Beginning to be able to tell which parts are kicking, rolling & moving across my belly.
2) Seeing Jon wear the empathy belly!

Movement: Like the ocean...he moves alot!

Food Craving: Food? Right now food = indigestion...so we aren't great friends.

What I miss: Sleep, seeing my toes (or anything below my waist), being able to take a bath & not worry if I'm going to be able to get out on my own.

Sleep: Sleep? What is that?

What I am looking forward to: Our crib coming in & getting Josh's room finalized!

Symptoms: back ache, indigestion, insomnia, uncontrollable belly movements!, swelling
