34 Weeks along

Been a while since I posted anything on this blog so I figured I better add an update. 

I am now 34 weeks along in this pregnancy so not long now before we all get to meet this little angel.  There really hasn't been anything new to report as my doctors appointments keep being ones where the doctors sound like broken records "Everything is going great,"  "She is right on track,"  "Nice strong heartbeat."  All things I am LOVING hearing.  I would greatly love to have another ultrasound of her but unless there is a problem the base hospital won't do any more ultrasounds and part of me isn't really sure I want to see her all squished up inside me and I know she must be fast running out of room as her kicks and punches are getting stronger with every passing week. 

Evelyn Marie has 2 new games that she is playing in my tummy now.  The first one started about a month ago and I lovingly call it "Let's See How Far We Can Stretch Mom's Tummy."  I swear that she is taking a foot or a hand and just pushing outwards with it.  I'll be sitting or standing doing whatever and all of a sudden I will feel and/or see my tummy just start to stretch forward.  It isn't really painful but definitely annoying and catches me off guard EVERY time.

Her 2nd game is now using my ribs as her personal xylophone which in small doses isn't bad but when you are stuck in a car travelling 5 hours down the road toward your destination it can get downright uncomfortable. 

Now don't get me wrong with either of those games, I WOULD NOT trade any movement I feel from her for anything.  I fiercely love this child and will do ANY and EVERY thing to protect her.  But definitely getting to the point of the pregnancy where part of me can't wait until it is over and part of me wants it to last forever because I know she is protected in there.

Well I don't want to start rambling too much so here is picture of me from last weekend when I was 33 weeks along.
