34 Weeks Along

That leaves about 6!!! WOW.
After a fun weekend at Lake McConaughy, I can officially say that baby likes swimming... even if he/she is only 34 weeks old in my belly. Whenever a wave splashed, there was dancing, or kicking, or, somersaulting with joy :)

Updates:
  • I feel pretty good still, but can barely stand balancing on my right leg anymore. It feels like someone is setting a semi truck on my lower back if I do that... So, when I slip my shorts on or off, or put shoes on, it is super quick! 
  • When baby moves, sometimes I think I might pee my pants. I almost did one morning while camping last weekend... BUT I just made it to the outhouse! PHEW! I still don't have to get up in the middle of the night though. By time 4:30 or 5am rolls around however, I am totally ready. 
  • Baby has an official girl name, and we still can't decide between two boy first names, and then even when we figure that out, it will be deciding the right middle name combo. 
  • Kastenbaby is like an average sized Canteloupe, weighing just about 5 pounds. Baby Center says he or she weighs slightly less. KB isn't going to get too much longer, just fatter, at this point!
  • How your baby's growing: (from babycenter.com)

    Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
