Baby Lisk is measuring in at somewhere around 18 inches, the size of a cabbage, and weighs in the neighborhood of 5 lbs. His lungs, brain, and central nervous system is getting stronger as he's using my antibodies to help construct his own (maybe that's why I'm sick again?) The vernix caseosa is covering his body as he gets closer to delivery day. He's also peeing up to a pint a day and preparing that tarry meconium for his first poop. (Gee, thanks bud!) Only 5-6 more weeks until little Baby Lisk will be joining this crazy world and even crazier family! :) My body is starting to prepare for when Baby Lisk decides he wants to come and peeing has become a more frequent occurrence. I have yet to pack my hospital bag, though, so I feel like I should start doing that, too.
How far along: 34 weeks
How far along: 34 weeks
Total weight gain: 29 lbs
Maternity clothes: all the time!
Stretch marks: yep, still using my belly butter but not sure it's going to do a whole lot now.
Sleep: I've been able to get a little more sleep lately because Braxton and I are both sick so I've been making him take naps. :)
Best moment this week: this week- nothing really going on. Going to go spend the weekend with Mimi, Papa, and Aunt Becki since Heath is going off hunting again. Maybe some maternity pictures?
Symptoms: swelling, Braxton-Hicks contractions, fatigue/exhaustion, frequent urination, restlessness, and trouble sleeping. (Pretty much all the normal symptoms).

Miss anything: same as before- energy and sleep! I just feel tired all the time and just doing like one thing really wears me out. :/ I think this baby is getting quite big in this belly!
Movement: depends on the day..some days he doesn't move a whole lot and then other days, he doesn't stop moving! I can definitely feel him up in my ribs more now, though, which isn't very comfortable.
Labor signs: just the lovely Braxton Hicks contractions..

Food cravings: BBQ always sounds delicious! (pulled pork sandwiches, please!)
Started showing: I'm flippin huge!
Belly in/out: yeah, slowly sticking out more and more!
Mood: it's been pretty good, lately, actually. I just get irritated and frustrated a little more quickly, now.

Looking forward to: seeing more of our maternity pictures and spending time in Chattanooga with family. Our next doctor's appointment!!
