6 Weeks to Go!

How far along? 34 weeks

Total weight gain/loss? Flat from last week, up 11 total still

Maternity clothes? Every thing full time now. Except for unisex t shirts in size L and XL.

Stretch marks? :( Yes. More than 2 now, all near my belly button. They no longer hurt, but man does my stomach itch like crazy! Nothing seems to help!

Sleep? Well, for a few days I was waking up every 2-2.5 hours having to make the trip to the bathroom. However. Sunday night it was only twice, and Monday and Tuesday night were only once! I'll take that! Keep that coming!

Best moment this week? Deciding to run the Princess Half Marathon with my sister in February at Walt Disney World! And, seeing the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer! (Ok, that was actually last week, but I forgot about it when it came time to type this out)

Movement? He can't really kick now, he'll just stick a random body part out and I feel like I have to push it back in! And, hiccups.

Food cravings? Ice cream. That's pretty much it. Yup.

Gender? It's a BOY!

Labor signs? Nope. But I still am getting those ever so much fun Braxton Hicks contractions. I feel so sore after a session of them. My lower back is starting to hurt - though I always have back problems. The BH seem to be getting stronger, I think I lost part of my mucus plug... Every thing that happens sends me into a frenzy wondering if it's preterm labor or not. I'll discuss all this at my appointment tomorrow.

What I miss? The cooler weather, sleeping through the night, no heartburn, and still sex.

What I'm looking forward to? My friend Libby going into labor! She's 39 weeks today! Any day now she could be having her son! And, my appointment tomorrow. And, for my labor to be over with signaling that my boy is here!

Weekly Wisdom: Don't fight it, might as well get up when you wake up and make the trip to the bathroom so you can go back to sleep, otherwise it will just keep you up.

Milestones: I've been officially cut off from traveling.

Emotions: Good, but I'm also on edge. With this whole "am I in preterm?" and with the dream I had about my dad dying. That happened during week 34, right when I was no longer able to travel. Please don't come true!
