34 weeks

This week seems to have been a busy week for us, although looking back we didn’t do a whole ton of anything, but I’ve been increasingly more uncomfortable.  This past Monday, we had our 34 week appointment with MaryAnne and all went well.  I gained 3 pounds in two weeks--- that new chocolate milk addiction is definitely ‘sticking’ to me.  So far, I’m up to 28 pounds at 34 weeks, so not horrible, but I need to lay off the chocolate milk haha.  Mason is still in the head down position, so that’s super.  MaryAnne also gave me a shot so Josh could see how a professional does it.  She pushed the medicine in very slowly (and it still burned like crazy) and now I’m scared to do my shots…. I’m trying to get over that. 

Last Thursday, Joanna had her baby girl (a few weeks early)- her name is Amelia Jean and is just beautiful.  Even being 4 weeks early I believe she was, she was still 6 pounds, 12 ounces and as I said, she’s just beautiful.  The first time I saw her I got a little teary eyed.  Tuesday I went to Muskegon to hang out with Joanna and the girls.  I got to spend a bit of time with baby Milla and helped with Charley, Tatum, and Tresa.  It was nice to just chat with Joanna too although I think I talked her ear off a lot of the time…

Other than that, I had a School Board meeting this week and Girl Scouts.  Next week is Blake’s last week of the Tuesday/Thursday after school basketball program as well as football practice and games for him.  Next week is also the last week for Sydney’s cheerleading practice/games but she’ll continue her after school running program (‘Run Club’).  (About Run Club- she just started 2 weeks ago I believe it was and she’s loving it.  Yesterday I think she said she ran/walked 5 ½ laps around her school which is a tad bit over 2 miles!  She’s already up over 8 miles since she started.  I’m very proud of her!!!)

So, until next week :)

PS: I can almost officially say- 5 more weeks (or less) until Mason is here!  My guess is October 16th :)  (Due date is November 8th)
