34 weeks

Sunday marked 34 weeks in this pregnancy, which means we've got six to go.  I calculated the other night, we've really got about 5 baby-free weekends left! Yikes.  In that time we need to do small things like figure out a bed situation for us/Kyalo so that the baby can have a crib, get the baby's room set up, wash all of Kyalo's old clothes (which are far more stained than I remembered) so baby can leave the hospital not naked, and, I don't know. . . perhaps pick out a name?  Details.

Got a few more pics of this growing belly on Sunday.  A few posts ago I was complaining about feeling 'large and in charge' now I look back at those pictures and yearn for those days.  Because now I am seriously huge - and I know I am only going to get bigger.  I'm in that stage now where I'm barely sleeping (which is one of the mean things about pregnancy. We should be getting as much as possible prior to the sleepless nights of babyhood. . . ) and have zero energy to get things done, also not fun when I have a house to set up and a toddler to keep up with!  Sigh.

As I've mentioned previously, this baby moves a LOT.  It makes me wonder what life with this little person's going to be like - Kyalo was a much calmer pregnancy, so far as I can remember, and he's hard to keep up with.  :)  I feel like this baby is really high - up in my ribs all the time.  I won't miss that feeling for sure.  Otherwise, this has been another smooth pregnancy and for that I'm really grateful.

There's the belly, in all its glory!

I posted the top picture on Facebook, and had a few people say, 'It's a boy!' and one person said, 'It's a girl!' So, I guess it is still a toss up as to what's hanging out right now.  Dr Kim is convinced, based on some Chinese conception calendar, that this is a boy. And I and a dream a few nights ago that we had a boy!  I go back and forth with what I 'sense' this baby could be.  I think I'm back in the boy camp, but couldn't say for sure.

But no matter - we'll know soon enough!  And we'll live in hope that baby will have a name when the time comes!
