Home/3rd trimester, Pooh Bear Week By Week, pregnancy, Pregnancy week by week/Dear Pooh Bear: 34 Weeks!
Happy 34 weeks little one! There isn't much longer now! As a matter of fact, this past weekend we were in Pennsylvania for our baby shower there with your Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Kelly and Uncle John Paul, and when we left we knew it would be the last time we were seeing them till you arrive. How crazy is that?! You may think that means we won't see them for a long time but that's not the case. There is only 38 days left till your due date! Like I said…not long now!
I had a maternity photo shoot last week. Someday, you will be able to see pictures of what your mommy and daddy looked like while you were in my belly. I think it will be very fun for us to look back on in the future.
Last week we also had our first Lamaze class. This class was so that your mommy and daddy can learn about what to expect when it comes to labor. Personally, I sometimes think ignorance is bliss, but the other side of me says it's good to be prepared. It's all very surreal to me that I will be holding you in my arms very soon. This week daddy is installing your little infant car seat in my car! Don't worry, we are having it inspected to make sure that he does it right (although I have full confidence that he will). That means that from then on, if you decide to make your arrival ahead of schedule the hospital will allow us to take you home!
Today I have another doctors appointment, and from then on I have one EACH WEEK! What does that mean? It means that they will be checking up on you a lot to make sure you are nice and healthy while you are still in my belly. They will also keep me posted as to the progress of your exit. This is another way things are surreal to me. I knew these appointments would come, but I can't believe they are actually here!
Next on the agenda is organizing all the stuff we got at our showers! You are certainly a loved little boy. Now it's time to really get serious and get everything put away. I also have to figure out what I need that I didn't get…that will be the tricky part. But I am up for the challenge!
As each week goes on I get more confident that you are ready to face this world. They say that if you were born now (which you won't be since we talked about it), that you'd do fine! But we certainly don't want that. It says that I should be less tired than the first trimester, but I'm going to have to disagree. Between being uncomfortable, and not sleeping though the night I think I'm more tired! At least in the first trimester, although tired, I would sleep soundly through the night!
