34 Weeks!

Baby grew quite a bit in the past few weeks! This little man is probably 5ish pounds at this point which is just insane.

I haven't mentioned that baby has been measuring a little bit long in the fundal height measurements (that's basically when they measure your uterus by poking at your stomach to find the top and bottom of it... FUN). My midwife told me the larger measurements are nothing to worry about unless they're 2 cm higher than the number of weeks pregnant you are. And in that case they'd do an ultrasound to ensure that the baby isn't restricted growth and make sure that everything else is going ok. 

Having a 2nd baby isn't at all like having the 1st. With Nolan, I was able to prepare his nursery with everything super clean and organized and lined up to a "T". This time around, the nursery is a mess and well, the whole rest of the house is a mess too. Having a toddler/tornado running around the house makes for not an easy pregnancy.

To be honest, the biggest complaint I have has to be this back pain which over the weekend became unbearable at times. It feels like parts of my back have been crushed like glass and that there are tiny shards of this glass stuck in places I can't rub, ice, or heat away. 

I'm seconds away from spending a small fortune on a stupid maternity pillow that I'll only have use of for another 6 weeks. Worth it? Probably... Will I buy it... ughhhhhhhh it's like $60. Cheapskate wins for now.
