34 Week Bump Update

Yes....Still pregnant over here. This pregnancy flew by.... 

Then I hit 30 weeks.I feel like I will forever be growing this little girl in my belly. 

At this point last time in my pregnancy with Ela, I was on bed rest due to Preclampsia. Snow Baby-BedRest  As I was put on bed rest 6 weeks before my due date I never got to experience working while massively pregnant, being fatigued,  and with a toddler. My blood pressure has risen over the past few days from 100/63 to 127/75, but still not a cause for worry yet.  Since all is good for now, we just wait for Julia! I have been having extreme contractions, so much so that I thought I was going into labor last Sunday. They were not regular and after laying down and 3 bottles of water they stopped. A quick check up with the doctor and I am having Podorimal Labor( Painful Braxton Hicks). I guess it is good that my body is getting lots of practice, which should make for a quick labor.

Any bets on a due date?

Ela's thoughts on Baby Sister: Mommy, when is Julia coming out? Me: Soon, you are going to stay with your uncle and Mommy will go to the hospital. Ela: Is Julia sick? Me: No, Mommy goes to the hospital so the doctor can take the baby out. Ela: How? Me: I'll tell you later. Ela: OK When? LOL! SO many questions.
