34 weeks


6 weeks to go. It's crazy to think that, as of my appointment next week, if I go into labor, the doctor won't stop it! We're just not ready yet! The crib isn't even put together! The baby should be pretty close to 5 pounds this week.

I slept like crap last night, and haven't been sleeping all that well for the last week or so. The baby keeps moving in ways that are really hurting me. Generally, as usual, he's way over on the left side (be it night or day), and it really hurts. There really isn't anything I can do about it- if I try to nudge him to the center, he immediately moves back to the left. Oh no! He's disobeying me already! lollllllll.

New pregnancy ailment- every time I bend over, such as to tie my shoes, or pick something up off the floor, I begin to puke into the back of my mouth. I guess it's reflux. It's pretty nasty. It happened this morning when I bent down to pick up my purse. Luckily, I had time to run back upstairs to re-brush my teeth before work. Other problem- if I bend too far forward, I feel like my ribs are impaling my uterus, or something in the general vicinity. It's painful... so I'm trying to sit very straight, or leaning back, at all times.

I met with the pediatrician on Friday. He was recommended by my ob/gyn office, and also by a couple of friends. I thought he seemed very nice. His office is very close to our house, which I definitely like. Also, the practice has another office on the other side of town, and it is open 365 days a year, so that's also a plus. One more thing taken care of!
