Updates - 34 weeks

Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.
I am 34 weeks pregnant this week. Last weeks appointment went well, fetal fibronectin test was negative again. I'm still taking medication to stop contractions but they've slowed down a little this week (probably because I've been resting a lot more than usual). We are continuing work on the apartment and nursery. Besides some normal aches and pains I think I am lucky to be feeling as well as I do, and I already think I will really miss being pregnant. My belly is big and baby has been moving a lot. He/she gets the hiccups at least twice a day and I love it. Korey's parents and grandparents bought us the stroller/car seat and we are both really excited about it. Korey set it up a couple days ago and it is sitting in the nursery. I started doing baby laundry this week, I feel better that we are checking things off the list as we get closer to the baby's arrival. (But the list is still long!)
The baby shower had to be moved to Sunday, August 9th at the Hillindale Club House. Invitations are coming and I really hope to see everyone there! Our baby registry is finally finished, you can click on the link on the right to access it. Let me know if you have any problems or questions. : )
