34 weeks! Hell Yea!!!

Well, here we are. Me and Cubby at 34 weeks. They said we wouldn't make it and look at us now. I had a doctors appointment yesterday for a check up and everything looks good. Cub's heartbeat is strong, my blood pressure and weight is great so I'm very happy. The only bummer is I have to stay on bed rest for another two weeks. Boo!!! I'm going to make a couple slight tweaks to that prescription because there are just things that HAVE to be done. For instance, Rob and I are going to register for the baby shower this weekend. Sure, I could do it online, but I just want to experience some of the fun of being pregnant. I am borrowing a friends wheelchair so don't start sending me your hate mail just yet.

We have our hospital bag packed ready to go, just in case. It's so crazy to think this is the home stretch now. All this time, care, ups and downs....they are about to come to fruition..and the end result will be a beautiful baby boy. I'm 8 months pregnant, feel as big as a house and am ready to do this. I'm hoping Cub stays in there another month, but who knows. Once I reach 36 weeks, I no longer have to be on bed rest and can do whatever I want...YAY!It's definitely a big difference being 34 weeks pregnant to being 30 weeks pregnant. I'm finding it harder to sleep at night with having to get up every couple of hours to pee. My body aches from all the changes happening, getting ready to give birth. The activity going on inside is crazy! I sit back on the bed and see his little tiny feet push up against my belly, kicking his little heart out. I got the gnarliest heartburn last night...ugh...I thought I was going to die. It's harder to sit up in bed, to get work done, to get comfortable. But all that being said, it's a very small price to pay to keep Cubster happy and healthy.

I'm trying to mentally trying to wrap my head around the idea that our son is so close to making his entrance into this world....that it's almost show time. Wow. Are we ready? I think that's subjective but I feel like we are. We don't expect things to go a certain way, we don't expect it to be a walk in the park. But whatever it takes, wherever this journey take us....we're going to be doing it together. And that's all I really need to know. I know we make a great team and I can't wait to start this next chapter of our lives together.
