    34 weeks

    October 10th, 2010

    How far along: 34w
    Weight: 149lb
    Sleep: Some nights great. Others not so much. Last night? Not a great one.
    Gender: Nutcrackers give the boys nightmares
    Movement: I’m pretty sure S2 is trying to expand my belly sideways. In some respects it’s kind of painful.
    Feeling: Sleepy! And stressed out at work. Last week, I had the unfortunate insident of dealing with someone from our Sales team who had clearly decided to ignore my previous recommendations and attempted to pressure us into a commitment I refused to give. This irritated him (bonus for me), but it also sub-consciously made me so upset that I spent my evening with contractions. Go him. I really need to limit my interactions with said individual as much as possible over the next 4 weeks.
    Milestones: Did I mention only 4 more weeks of work yet? I called Matrix Absence Management on Friday as it marked 30 days away from my first day off. It felt good!
    Food cravings: I’m pretty sure S2 is hugging my stomach in some way and not making me very hungry. So no particular food cravings.
    Fetal development:
    Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he’s born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well.
