Pregnancy Update: Week 34

We're getting closer, and I'm definitely getting bigger. As I've said before I am carrying this baby a lot different than I did the other two. I feel like I just tucked a basketball under my shirt.... no make that a medicine ball because they're heavier and this belly is definitely heavy! I'm sure by this point my mom would be too embarrassed to accompany me to the grocery store (link for reference) because of how awkward I'm walking. Tom says I'm not walking funny at all, which is really nice of him but I don't believe it. I try to walk normal, I really do... but between the huge belly, sciatica, contractions, pelvic pressure, and lack of balance it's just not possible right now. Don't judge.

I have been doing a little organizing baby stuff, and by little I really do mean just a little. Want proof?

Below is my cloth diaper drawer. Prefolds and covers mostly for the newborn stage, and then I have a few one size pockets for when it gets a little bigger (planning to get more later on). This is the first baby we'll be using cloth for, and I'm really excited about it. My Ergo (yay) is also tucked away in this drawer too. I've been considering getting a Moby Wrap as well, and keeping my eyes out for a used one so if anyone has any advice about it and if it's worth the money let me know.

I also got all the boy and girl 0-3 month clothing ready so we'll be prepared either way. Arvilla helped me with some of this and would say in her squeaky girly voice "Ooooooohhhh that's so cuuuuuuute!" about every item I held up. I was just loving all the memories of Clark and Arvilla wearing the clothes when they were babies.


And that's the extent of the preparations we've made for the baby. Can you tell it's our third? Arvilla's nursery was all put together by the time I was probably 20 weeks. We're either lazy or we've learned those things don't matter as much, especially when you don't have time/energy to worry about it.

We're getting excited (and by excited I mean nervous, anxious, and overwhelmed) to have our third join us, but hoping it hangs on for at least 3(!!!!!!) more weeks. Arvilla can't hardly handle the suspense and always asks "Is the baby coming now?" But Clark is more than okay with it staying in my tummy forever, and when we talk about the baby being here he says "No! No baby don't see my mommy!" Although I'm pretty sure he loves the idea of having a baby around, he doesn't love the idea of it getting any mommy time.
