34 weeks (and a couple days)

Little Rosaleen is around five pounds now! She is getting bigger and bigger and her mom is having a hard time moving around. All is generally going well. The heartburn even eased up a little. She has had the hiccups a few times in the last week, but they don’t seem to last too long ( I am sure she is glad). She and I are definitely at the stage that everyone stares at you everywhere you go. I am guilty of doing it to super pregnant women too. However, I know now that this can give pregnant women a complex. I ask Ben all the time, “Do I look funny?” He always says something very sweet in response to my question. However, every time he snapped a picture of me tonight, he would laugh and his eyes would bug out when he was looking at the resulting photo, so I am pretty sure I look at least a little funny.
Ben and I took a newborn care class last week. We now know that if a baby’s temperature reaches 100.5 we need to call the doctor. We also learned how to swaddle the baby and how to burp them—and a whole bunch of other good to know things.
Seeing as we are hopefully on the six-week count down to Rosa’s birthday (of course it is really up to Rosa, so we could be on the eight week count down), Ben is going to install the car seat in the car soon. Our to-do list is getting smaller and smaller by the weekend. As you can see in the photo, Rosaleen is still very, very high, but she is getting bigger. I am going to try to take a belly shot every week so I can see if she is moving down……….. Hopefully in a month from now we can see a difference.
I just saw a post on the blog that asked about a CA earthquake. Hmmm. I didn’t hear about it (Ben and I don’t watch TV much—except a few minutes on weekday mornings). So, we are fine. I hope everyone else is.
