Week 34

Hard to believe we only have several weeks left until our little one arrives.  Boy oh boy do we have a lot to do still. 


Here are some prego highlights:
Weeks: 34 (35 on Thursday if anyone wants more specifics)
My belly is outgrowing many of my maternity clothes.
Total weight gain is 26 lbs so far (and counting)
Days left of work: 8

Things I look forward to post pregnancy:
Sleeping on my back and stomach
Zippers and buttons on my pants (instead of elastic that makes them slide down)
Sushi and the occasional glass of wine
Being able to bend over, lean forward, and sit normal

Things I am thankful for:
An amazing husband who takes care of me and cooks me amazing meals
Awesome friends, family, and coworkers who showered us with love and gifts to help us get our life with baby started.
A fairly easy, without complications pregnancy (I have a ton of friends who have had it tough so I appreciate the process I have had)

What did you appreciate post pregnancy or if you're pregnant, what are you looking forward to?

Miss you Chanda! So glad you have had a great pregnancy... you are going to meet that baby soon and we all can't wait to check the new Erselius out!
Love you!

I love your lists:) I liked being able to sleep (I use the term lightly;) without indigestion. I was so relieved that both girls were born safely and that I made it through the labor!! Also, with Lorann I was/am so relieved to be able to breastfeed:)
Your life is about to change in such an AMAZING way!! I'm so excited for you. Being a mommy is truly the best thing in the world.

What a fun question to answer!! I don't think I realized how much anxiety I had about delivering Rowan until the overwhelming sense of relief I felt seeing him healthy and thriving. I always joke that in retrospect - I LOVED being pregnant - how could I not? It brought me the best person I've ever met!
