pregnancy highlights | 34 weeks

how far along: 34 weeks

due date: October 10
size of baby: butternut squash - 18.5 inches, 5.5 lbs.

gender: girl!

movement: again, her movement is really fun right now. we love trying to guess if what we see is a hand, foot, knee, elbow, etc.      

 

{ babe at 33 weeks - eyes open. daddy's cheeks. mama's nose. }

symptoms: some feet swelling and impatience (we are eager to see her little face in person).  
food cravings: chocolate ice cream :)   
maternity clothes: i am actually wearing one of Jon's button-down shirts today. sadly, i'll probably grow out of it soon - haha!
what I miss: being around family.

best moment of the week: it was definitely my release from bedrest (yesterday)! this means i can pretty much do anything besides heavy lifting or running - and it is such a blessing. 

getting ready: i'm really looking forward to deep cleaning the house a few times before the babe arrives.

daddy: I need to give him a shout-out: He has been so supportive during this time of bedrest - cooking, cleaning, running errands, listening to me, and being present and loving... all while working full-time. I've been amazed by his attitude and energy, and I can't wait to share the joy of parenthood with him. Jon, I'm so thankful for you.

prayer requests: please continue to pray for our friends and family who are dealing with pain and hurt. pray they will have peace from the Lord and feel loved.
