34 weeks! Milestone.

Today is 34 weeks guys!! (*ok yesterday was, I wrote this then, didnt post till today) This is *big* because if we're talking preemie, 34 week (and older obvi) babies tend to do just as well as long term babies in the long run, even if they need a little extra breathing help at first! Soo, its an important place for us to get to and quite an exciting one after the 32 week, 3 day scare :)

I also got to attend my 3rd (and final!) shower today which was lovely! Here's some pictures from the day!

 Our awesome, so creative gift from Katie!

 Our favorite little hat from Aunt Mary Beth and Lou! Sooo cute!

 Somehow I became a giraffee. Nice pic mom!

 Our kid is gonna be nice and over stimulated! :) and also, look at scott's face. haha.

 Close up of Katie's generous gift! (Katie--I took a bunch of pics to send you!)

Big sister Maizy hanging out with all the baby's new clothes and toys and not trying to eat any of them! Score!

And I'm so glad I got to see everyone. I would have been way bummed if I would have had to sit home alone :( Thank you everyone for all the amazing gifts! This kid is way too spoiled already!!

But now I'm in a mad rush to put everything we got in its place. I must control myself and have faith that we have a little more time left and hopefully if i get through next weekend, then I can move a little bit more and spend a couple days putting things where I want them and feeling good about it! Till then -- I'll have mom sterilizing bottles and exchanging duplicates for me :)

*34 week check in!*  
 I'm definitely waddling at this point ...
waist: 42.5 inches! eek!! (up 14.5 inches! whoa!)
weight: up exactly 20 lbs. (3 lbs. lost since my hospital visit! all that contracting is negating all that chocolate ;))
yikes ... look at this tummy!!

Maybe 6 weeks to go!! (maybe 6 hours ... ya never know at this point!) :)

And just for smiles -- Maizy's "adjustment" to bed rest ...

 Tough life for the dog :)
