34 Weeks... Please Allow 6-8 Weeks for Delivery
Yeah, I totally used that title at this exact point LAST time. I swear though, if it is 8 weeks? I will be doing jumping jacks trying to get this baby out!
Here's the "bump" which I really think is more than a bit of an understatement at this point.
Despite the large frontal protrusion, and the pound-a-week first and second trimester weight gain, I've only gained 30.5 pounds so far... six weeks to go! Looks like it's going to be another 35-pound pregnancy. Maybe a pound or two less! Woot! :) I'm looking foward to being reunited with my regular clothes!
Things seem to be okay in there. As far as I know, the head is still facing the right direction. There is still TONS of movement too. If you could see my bare belly, you would see that you can actually make out individual bumps that are legs and knees and things. Wacky! ;)
Tom asked me yesterday what it feels like physically after being pregnant for nine months to suddenly NOT be pregnant anymore. Words that come to mind? Light? Relief? Strange? Squishy? Empty? A little help, girls? It IS strange... I do remember that much. I mostly just remember IMMEDIATE relief of the heartburn, pressure and puking as soon as the baby shot out last time... can't wait! :) :) :)

I remember feeling a little empty. I just remember how I was conscience that Laney was always "with me". So, the first time I went to Walmart without her, I felt a little alone.
However, I haven't been as conscience that Haven is always "with me"...I guess that's because Laney is literally always with me. :)
I'm still wondering how it is possible to love another one as much as I love her. I know I will...just hard to understand. However, I had no idea I could love Laney this much. Ain't life grand.

I remember feeling lonely and empty. There is something so special about pregnancy and the weird companionship and bond you feel with the child inside you. Even though I had the child with me afterwards (thank GOD), the fact that we were separated physically was really sad and poignant for me. It's a weird adjustment, but I could best label it as sad, empty, lonely... even though you are overjoyed at the same time...
You both totally hit the nail on the head!!
Diana, I remember (and probably blogged about, I'm sure) the first time I went out without Ben after I had him... I was VERY aware of being alone for the first time in almost a year!! Very very strange...
