How far along: 34 weeks. Our baby is about the size of a cantaloupe, weighing approx 4.75 pounds and about 18 inches long. Baby is getting chubby and the lungs and central nervous system are continuing to develop. Last ultrasound, the tech thought she could see hair on the head :)
Total weight gain: Up 34 lbs.
Maternity clothes: Maternity everything, plus Matt's t-shirts and shorts for around the house.
Stretch marks: Couple more on the boobs.
Sleep: Really rough. It's uncomfortable to sleep in one position a long time, but it's uncomfortable to change positions. Plus I'm up once or twice to pee. Pretty exhausting, but I'm getting prepped for a newborn I guess.
Best moment of this week: I got to see Chantel who was visiting from London! Matt and I drove down to Humboldt and got to spend 2 days with the fam, Chantel, Boo and Ora. Soooo worth the long uncomfortable drive! Love these girls!!
Miss anything: Sleeping.
This weekend, Matt and I spent a night on the Oregon coast in Newport. Allie got to go crazy on the beach and we had a yummy seafood dinner. Nice to get away just the 2 of us before this baby comes.
Movement: I think things are getting tight in there for baby, as s/he isn't moving around quite as much. It's interesting that baby usually hangs out on the right side of my belly, never the left. Makes for a lopsided belly.
Food cravings: My appetite is picking up, but no specific cravings. Baby must be fattening up! Still more sweets than usual...didn't buy this jug of Nutella, but Matt did just go get me icecream :-P
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope!
Have you started to show yet: Can't miss this belly! It's getting huge and heavy!
Boy or Girl: I think it's a girl, but there's still a 50/50 chance ;)
Baby gear: Got the crib! Thanks Grandpa Dave and Grandma Yo!! We also scored an REI hiking backpack and activity mat at a garage sale this weekend. Mamy sent us a cacoonababy - a French newborn bed that kind of cradles the baby as they sleep.

Labor signs: Nope
Belly button in or out: Out, but starting to flatten as the belly stretches more and more.
Wedding rings on or off: Off :(
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy! Of course get grumpy when I'm tired or particularly uncomfortable.
Looking forward to: Baby shower here in Portland next weekend! Final ultrasound on Sept 26th. Last one showed improvement... it's no longer placenta previa, they are calling it low-lying placenta now. But the baby's head was way down so they couldn't make a confident decision about delivery, so we're hoping baby will cooperate and we can see everything.
