Back on track....34 weeks

We just had an appointment yesterday and it seriously took forever.

Appointment was at 3:40 and because I hate being late...it's seriously my least favorite thing in the entire world...we got there at 3:25ish.

We waited only 5-10 minutes before they took me back for the usual pee/weight/blood pressure {which btw...I'm going to be a pro at peeing in a cup...TMI? I'm sorry I'm not sorry}

Then that's when the waiting began. We seriously waited at least 45 minutes before the nurse took us back to be seen by our midwife. That was the longest wait we have ever had and I know I shouldn't complain because I know sometimes medical offices fall behind {curse of having parents in the medical field}but I was getting so stir crazy I started walking up and down the hall. Hm...maybe that's why they took us back? Pregnant lady waddling up and down the hall?

One of the nurses that knows me by name even commented saying "They haven't taken you back yet??" and every time she passed we exchanged giggles and eye rolls.

But here we are....in all our 34 week glory! The black is slimming no? You can hardly even tell I'm pregnant.....right? :)

Stretch marks? Same
Sleep: Finally have the pillow situation down pat...and I'm only getting up once in the night for potty breaks :) Last night I got the BEST night of sleep I have had all pregnancy. The pillow arrangement...perfection!
Best moment this week: Watching Hudson move and shift in my belly {did you see his hiney?}
Miss Anything? Sushi....and wine!!! I really needed a few glasses of wine earlier this week...

Labor Signs: The other night when decorating I kept getting back spasms while I had the braxton hicks....but sitting down with my feet up made them go away

Looking forward to: My mommy coming back into town. The hospital we are delivering at offers a Grandparent Class and Tour of the hospital so she is going to come for the weekend and we're going to go together!
Next Appointment: 36 weeks...December 13 then I'll start going once a week! Eeek!

I started decorating the house for Christmas and I'll do another post hopefully this weekend once I finish. I'm thinking a trip to Michael's is necessary for me to make at least one DIY holiday project :) don't you think??
