34 Weeks!

We're at 34 weeks now! It's hard to believe we only have 6 left to go! The baby is really moving around! My favorite is when he/she has hiccups! But it's definitely starting to get uncomfortable! Josh got a taste of that tonight at our class-he got to wear the empathy belly. Not so fun!

Anybody who's had a baby probably understands my pain in trying to sleep in the third trimester-literally. I've never been one to sleep on my side-usually I sleep on my stomach, which you obviously can't do when you're pregnant! But since the very early weeks the only way I could sleep was on my back...which is also a big no no, for those of you who don't already know. Apparently this cuts off oxygen to the baby. So it's been a constant battle to make myself sleep on my side. I have a huge pregnancy pillow, which is basically a special body pillow, to help me sleep on my side. So I usually start out on my left side, the one doctors say you're supposed to sleep on. Then when my hip starts hurting too badly I shift my whole body, which is pretty large by this point, and the body pillow to my right side. I sleep that way until my right hip hurts too much and then switch back. Then I have to get up to go to the bathroom, and then it starts all over again! Needless to say I think Josh is ready for me to have this baby just so he can get a little sleep at night!

We're getting excited! Our friends Bridge and Dan just found out they're having a boy!! Bridge and I have had pretty similar pregnancies so far, so it'll be interesting to find out if we're having the same!! Just a few weeks away!!
