34 weeks in all its glamour

There's nothing like a glamorous pregnant photo. That's what these are. Pure glamour! This is my 34th week documentation. Which is totally necessary because in 13 years when this little angel inside of me is sassing me, I can show her the evidence that it wasn't easy to bring her into the world. All kids love that "I carried you for nine months..." line don't they? Ha ha.

On a more serious note. Thank you for all of your kind wishes and your love. I can feel it and I'm so grateful. We're adjusting over here and this week has had it's ups and it's downs. I've entertained the doctors and done their tests and have the welts and bruises to prove it. That Holter monitor that I had to wear this week for my heart tore the skin right off of me. Sticky bugger.

We won't know the results of that test for at least a week. But I saw the doctor again Friday and I am healthy. Not diabetic. No thyroid issues. Liver looks good. Baby sounds good. Heart sounded good. I was however told that I need to have my head examined. (When I say it that way, Brian busts a gut laughing.)

My next stop will be the Neurologist. My next test will be an EEG. Which will record the electrical activity of my brain. When the doctor told me that, I shook my head. I again asked if this could all just be because there is a human being living inside of me. ???!!! He said, "Yes, but it could also be something else." So... I'll continue to entertain them, but in my opinion, this is all happening because the baby is sitting too high and kicking my diaphragm. I'm sticking with that story. In a few weeks, when she's dropped, I'll be out on the road once again.


In the mean time, I'm enjoying and absolutely hating being confined to my house. I'm enjoying the time Brian and I get to spend together. Our trips to the doctor have been like mini dates. While I shop for baby stuff, he sits on the nursery glider and works from his phone. He pushes my cart and unloads the groceries. What? That is so foreign for us! The neighbors saw him home the other day and couldn't resist asking him what the special occasion was. This has been a fun change for us. Can't wait to see what the next week brings.
