Baby Myers: 34 Weeks

34 weeks, the end is in site!

How Baby is Doing:

Caleb is still loving the right side of my belly. He moves around all the time now. It's so fun because I can really feel and see him moving. As I'm typing it feels like he is trying to push himself out of my belly. He loves to run his body right up to my skin. I think its because he is very social and wants to hear everyones conversation (he gets that from his mommy). His favorite thing to do is wait for Paul to put his head on my belly and then Caleb will kick him.

He is very healthy. The doctor said he has a big head and abdomen just like his daddy when he was a baby!

Caleb still wakes me up around 8:30 to 9:00am every morning. But there are some days like today when he wakes me up at 5:00am because he was being a busy body and I thought it was too sweet to try and sleep through.

How Mommy is Doing:

I'm moving much slower these past few weeks! I have been doing a lot of laundry for our little guy. I have been making mental notes of certain outfits I can't wait to put on him. My belly is starting to hurt a little more because its stretching so much. I still have a lot of heartburn, but its getting better. I now understand what women mean when they talk about going to the bathroom every 5 seconds - I think Caleb likes to sit on my bladder. Oh well, it's been giving me a lot of exercise!

It's starting to hit me that our little guy will be here in about 6 weeks! I cant wait to meet him, but will miss feeling him in my belly.

How Daddy is Doing:

I feel odd talking about how I'm doing when Amanda is the pregnant one. I just watch her lug her little pregnant self around and it's motivating. I guess the biggest thing I can speak to is the more emotional, mental side of the pregnancy.

I'm feeling pressure - that's for sure - but it's not stress. I am too happy to consider what I feel stress. This whole thing is kind of motivating though. Knowing Caleb is coming motivates me to wake up; motivates me to go to work; and motivates me to get things done around the house...even when I'm exhausted. I'm starting to get used to this business and pressure though...becoming a dad. That's right, a dad. I'm getting used to that thought now. I haven't even met Caleb yet and every sappy Country or Christian song about being a parent gets me all emotional. I can't imagine what it's going to be like when he's actually here.

I'm looking forward to it. That's for sure.
