34 weeks!

Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.

So fast!

Sometimes I feel like this is going SO FAST!
It feels like just yesterday I was turning 14 weeks! It feels like just yesterday I felt my first round ligament pains! It feels like just yesterday I took my 3 months picture! It feels like just yesterday I popped out and started showing more! It feels like just yesterday that I found out I was pregnant!...

When in reality..its officially been two months since I found out and now I'm already fourteen weeks and FIVE days! that means in two days I'll be FIFTEEN WEEKS! I can't believe it! I'm almost four months! Which means only one more month and I can find out what we are having!! I'm SO sure its a boy. I'm sure I've already said that though! Sometimes it feels like its going SO slow...I wish that I was farther along and could feel my baby kicking or see my baby again. But then again I want to be happy and remember this time!

The round ligament pains have sucked so bad recently. I've been kind of scared about some of them because they have been sudden and sharp at times. Its been concerning me. But I read on baby center today about how some other women's feel, and I guess these are actually very normal. Reading that made me feel so much better!

Also, this morning I felt SO sick. I threw up a lot, and I had nothing in my stomach so it was really painful. I called my doctor's office and the nurse said I was either dehydrated or had a virus. I'm not really sure either way, but I'm guessing it was a virus because I know I've been drinking a lot and I don't think I show many other symptoms of dehydration. Well just in case, I sent Scott to the store to get some gatorade. I've downing that a lot since he got it. I've drank over 32 oz. so far. Its recommended you drink between 48-64 oz. of water per day. I'll definitely have to drink some water soon too. I don't want too much sugar, which is in Gatorade.
