Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 34 weeks (actually 34 weeks 5 days)
What’s developing: Ella Kate is supposed to be weighing about 4 3/4 pounds this week (like the average canteloupe) and should be almost 18 inches long from the top of her head to her heels. Fat layers, which will help regulate her body temperature after birth, are filling her out making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever.
The central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well.
Clothes: Maternity jeans/capris/shorts and maternity tops. Still in my regular scrubs pants (moved up one size), but all wearing maternity tops.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Haven't weighed in 2 weeks, but go to OB appointment tomorrow. :-/

Gender: It's a GIRL!!!
Movement: She's an active little thing, she continues to move all the time and now I can see my entire belly move when she decides to be very active. She is very active in the evening. I can definitely tell when she has the hiccups too.
Sleep: Waking up about twice per night to use the bathroom. It is getting harder to get comfortable too.
What I miss: Jersey Mikes subs
Cravings: The usual... chocolate milk. I also had a craving for green apple twizzlers this past week. YUMMY!
Symptoms: Some continued heartburn with anything I eat or drink. Both ankles are continuing to swell. I have been trying to keep my feet up as much as possible. Drinking about 5-6 bottles of water per day, whew!!!
Coming up this week: OB appointment tomorrow, Tuesday so I'll update next week if any changes.
I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me
