34 Weeks 3 days

I finally hit the 34 week mark Saturday and grabbed a cold on the way :-( 34 weeks was when I was given the ok to resume all activities (within regular pregnancy standards) that I had to stop due to the contractions, and of course I got sick Friday! Lizzy started with a "hurt nose" Wednesday last week, then a fever Thursday...no icky nose until Friday afternoon and then we all got it (minus Emma, she really has only complained about being sick when she sees her sisters getting special treatment)! It's always fun being sick, no matter what the sickness is it seems like it is magnified a ton when pregnant and chasing around sick little ones too! Hopefully we'll be gone of all sickness by the end of this week!
(By the way, Emma took the picture on the left today) I went to a regular check-up today and everything looks good. I gained 2.8 more pounds which brings me to a whopping 16 lbs total! I usually gain almost all my weight at the very end so it doesn't surprise me at the weight gain. I was measuring 36 weeks, 2 weeks ahead again which doesn't mean anything since I've been measuring ahead for a couple of weeks now. And the baby is in position...head down! My contractions have stopped being as consistent, just uncomfortable when I do have them and are now considered normal this late in pregnancy coupled with the fact it's my fourth! I am getting anxious to meet this new little one, but will hold on until I will be full-term (37 weeks)! We had not even started preparing for this new addition until last week when I had Jody dig out all the baby stuff. I have clothes laid out and ready to be packed in bags for all 6 of us...boy that sounds weird! Here is a picture of just the clothes for 2 days worth for the kids! We have a take-home outfit for a boy and one for a girl along with a blanket & hat for each too! I think I have confused Anna & Lizzy with packing both...Anna mentioned bringing home the "babies" and where the other car seat was. One of the girls favortite shows is Jon & Kate Plus 8 so I also think that had something to do with it too! I like to be prepared for everything....don't be surprised to see a baby car seat in our car in the next few days. I've washed everything related to the baby even though it was washed before it was packed away in tupperware containers and stored in the garage. Lizzy has really started being clingy, wanting me to hold her and cuddle with her all the time, not really wanting me to leave her side. I figure moving the car seats around, adding the new car seat and having her help me pack bags will help her not be too jealous, we'll see!

Yea for 34 weeks! I have missed seeing you "grow" during this pregnancy but love reading the updates and seeing the pictures! That is so funny about Anna and Lizzy thinking there could be 'babies'! Looking forward to meeting the newest Livingston!!
