Update

Just a quick 34 week update...

I'm still feeling pretty good overall. I love feeling this little one's kicks getting stronger and stronger. Sleeping is getting increasingly hard and I have officially taken over every pillow in our house (including decorative ones) in order to get comfortable...poor Dan! I still wake up 4-5 times every night but as long as I can find a comfortable position to fall back asleep in, I don't mind. I've also gotten a tad crankier in last few weeks : ) Here are a few pictures that I just took (can't get more up to date than that).

I had to take these myself so the quality isn't great but you get the idea...

Front view.

Side view.

And the poor little Lou-Doggie that doesn't know what's about to hit him!

My list of things that I am looking forward to once I am no longer pregnant is growing faster than my belly. Let's start with the most important first:

1. A "Dirty Sheed" from Zingerman's. If you've never been to Zingerman's or never tried this drink, I feel really bad for you.

2. Blue cheese. I don't really care what it's on...a salad, a sandwich, you name it and I want it.

3. Red meat. Of any kind. This child will not let me even smell it but I am really craving it. Weird I know.

4. Sleeping on my stomach. I am not, nor have I ever been, a stomach sleeper. I think I just want to try it now because it's not an option. Also, doing a sit-up. I just can't even remember what it feels like to do one.

5. Wearing pants that don't have elastic at the top. I have to admit, they are pretty darn comfortable (but not all that flattering).

6. Getting a pedicure. Enough said.

7. Playing volleyball. I played up until about 27 weeks or so and then I was just bringing my entire team down. Also, I tipped over into the net which was a good sign that my time had come.

8. Wearing a pretty dress and actually feeling pretty in it.

9. Not having to hear from one stranger that I'm carrying low which means it's a boy and then 5 minutes later hearing from another stranger that I'm carrying high which means I probably have a few more week to go. Really? I didn't know that I had asked for your opinion...thank you very much.

10. Sushi, sushi, sushi.

Although, I am going to miss a few things too. Like having the baby safe with me 24/7 and feeling him/her kick all the time. I'm also going to miss being treated like a queen, by Dan anyway. Not by the random person at Borders who shoved me out of the way to get through the door, or the co-worker who called me fat. But Dan always treats me like a queen so I won't have to miss that.

Just a few more weeks before we get to see what this little buggaboo looks like! Can't wait!
