34 Weeks

Everything is going good here. We got the last of our things out of our former house last night - took us 4 loads plus 2 loads to the dumpster but we're out. Handed over the keys last night, too. Our new garage looks like a cyclone hit it but we'll get that cleared away as we move stuff in.

We really thank those who lended us a hand to help us move. We could not have done it without you. In total, we had 2 full Uhaul truckloads, about 8 pickup truckloads, and 2 pickup loads to the dumpster. We let our 2 cats outdoors last night, too. One is a schizo-cat and always hid anyway - I haven't seen her since last night. Tra has always wanted to be outdoors so we're trying it out. He was on the front porch this morning with our stray cat that we've kinda adopted.

I had a great appointment yesterday at the doctor's office. Everything is showing very well & there isn't alot of threat of a too-early delivery. He told me that I'm measuring 1-1.5 weeks ahead of schedule and that Annabelle is appx already 5-5.5lbs. He asked if I was a big baby (the Dr was a different one from who I usually see) and I responded that Jas & I both were 9lb babies. His response was that history tends to repeat itself....Great. lol She's still head down which is awesome, too.

He put me on a machine to test to see how she's doing since I am having contractions (irregularly, but he wanted to make sure that there isn't a threat). She did very well - AFTER the sonogrammer woke her up with a jolt of buzz. Annabelle's little heartbeat went from 130 to 160 in 2 seconds flat. It must've woke her up & startled her.

We have an appointment in 2 weeks, and then thereafter will be 1 week appointments. He told me that I could take Tylenol PM to help with my aches/pains and to help me sleep. He also gave me some samples of heartburn pills and recommended Zantac too.

Overall, I think the appointment went really well. I was there for over an hour! I think I might even like this other doctor better than the previous one. BUT, either could deliver the baby - it just depends on who is on-call that day.

So, anyway - that's our big update for the week. We got the keys to our new house at 5:30 Sunday, moved in, got moved out of our old house & turned over keys, and had a really good Dr. appointment. I'm exhausted! LOL
