How far along: 34 weeks!!! Crazy, crazy!
Weight gain/loss: Probably about the same as last week - total gain of 29 lbs.
Body changes: Not much that I can tell... Stretch marks, but I haven't really noticed any new ones. Boobs are still huge. =P Oh and I think my belly is growing still. No photo this week, though, because I spaced. Busy day today and I want to post this. I may add the photo later. =)
Updated to add photo:
Gender: It's a GIRL!
Movement: Lots, lots, lots. I feel her on and off throughout the day. Sometimes she gets really excited and moves/squirms a lot. And sometimes that hurts. Her kicks and punches are so much stronger now!
Sleep: About the same... I'm waking up now more because I'm in pain rather than that I actually need to go to the bathroom. But getting up helps the back pain, so I do. I think I'm sleeping harder which is making the back/hip pain worse. What can you do?
What I'm looking forward to: My baby shower this weekend!!! I am so, SO excited! I'm also looking forward to finishing her room {hopefully next week}, having an ultrasound {because of the hypertension} and doing maternity photos next week! Lots of exciting things happening!
What I miss: Um, being able to eat what I want, not having heartburn {I really wanna know how 150mg of Zantac a day is NOT helping}, and sleeping on my tummy. Oh and not having back pain every. single. morning/night.
Cravings: Basically everything I can't have. Although, I have found a way to have a little bit of chocolate/sweets here and there. It's a bit tricky, but it really helps me feel like I'm not completely deprived.
Symptoms: Intermittent heartburn, back/hip pain, occasional Braxton Hicks, and I'm starting to get tired really easily.
Best moment this week: Going to breastfeeding/child birth classes and feeling like I already had a good handle on the topics. More on those later, plus a review of the book On Becoming Babywise. =)

Getting my sewing "equipment" out of the nursery. It actually looks like we're having a baby now! {Well, you know, other than the obvious basketball I have where my stomach used to be. You know what I mean. ;-)}
Pics are from left to right when you enter the room:
Wardrobe, bouncy and dresser/changing table.
Rocking chair, crib and other things that need to be put away.
Looking much more like a nursery now, right?! The only downside to having a nursery instead of a sewing room is this:
Laundry plus sewing room. =/ The lighting is a bit better, but it's crowded in there. Not to mention it gets really hot in there when the dryer is going...and I have hardly any room to cut and iron fabric. Not the ideal situation, but I don't really have a choice anymore. Fortunately, it's had no effect on craftiness as I've done these two projects in the last few days:
Framed fabric to hang in the nursery.
Receiving blanket made from fabric used for decoration at our wedding. =)

I'm jealous of the 29lb weight gain! I am sort of an "overachiever" in that department. LOL The nursery looks great! Love that furniture!!
I'm so excited to be able to decorate Penny's nursery once we get to Alabama!
I love the nursery! =) I can't wait to work on my baby's nursery even though her room will technically still be a guest room since she'll be sleeping in our room.
You're getting closer! I love the nursery. So sweet!
Looks great! I love the blanket made from wedding decorations. What a great idea!
Oh, I love the pink and brown. :) Nice job!
I LOVE the nursery! It is looking so cozy. And the little things you made are great - I think it is so sweet that you made her a blanket out of the material from your wedding - nice sentimental touch! :)
