34 weeks

Baby girl and I are now at 34 weeks. I'm hoping I only have 5 more weeks to go. I've always delivered at 39 weeks, but with each kid, I've gotten closer and closer to my due date.

I have reached the point where I need a ton of sleep! I find myself taking naps, going to be early and sleeping in. My energy level is not where it was a month ago. Not ok when I have 5 little people to still take care of, plus a home to keep clean.

Also, cleaning is getting harder to do. I had mad plans to get the downstairs all spick and span. Nope, didn't happen. I got one room done before my back was screaming to stop and I lost whatever energy I had.

Oh well. At least I have the most wonderful husband ever who has been picking up my slack and cleaning when need to, and cooking dinner, and taking care of the kids. I'm the luckiest gal in the world! 

He is also super excited for baby girl to come. Almost daily, he tells me that. The other day he said he dreamt about her and woke up sad because she wasn't here yet. Really, I couldn't have picked a better man to call my husband and father to my children!

Baby girl moves ALL. THE. TIME. I know I shouldn't complain about that, but she is so violent! Steve has commented on it. It's almost constant. Doesn't matter if I'm standing, sitting, laying down, active or just being lazy, this girl is having a party always! Deep down I love it! But does it have to hurt so much? lol!

Besides the dancing going on inside, she is doing great. Happy and healthy. Giving me a ton of heart burn, which means she should have a ton of hair!

We are all excited for her to get here. The kids keep talking about her (and the size of my belly), asking when is her birthday going to be, getting excited for her to be here. Dexter is showing signs of being a great big brother. It's wonderful to know that everyone is excited for her and already love her so much!

Now, the waiting part. It isn't my favorite thing to do and I'm not very good at it. One day at a time, right?

Gosh you don't have long left at all. How super exciting!!! I bet you have a million questions every day from your littles, those are probably fun to field. LOL.

So... any names picked out yet? I noticed you call her Baby girl :)
