Caitlin Houston is 34 weeks pregnant and sharing my symptoms, weight gain, cravings and more. Here is my 34 week bump update.
How far along are you? 34 weeks. We have 6 weeks left and eeeeeeeeeeeee we are excited!
How I’m feeling: Oh boy are my mood swings bad. One minute I’m crying over Annabelle’s adorably tiny clothes, the next minute I’m meaner than a snake for absolutely no reason.
Total weight gain: According to the scale at the gym, I don’t think I’ve gained 1 lb in the past 3 weeks! So total: 25 by me, 19 by doctor.
Cool baby facts: Her central nervous system and lungs are maturing. Things are getting a little tight in there now that Annabelle is around 4 3/4 lbs and 18 inches long. She is learning to memorize familiar sounds (most likely her Momma chewing ice and talking to the cat).
How big is baby? Annabelle is the size of a cantelope.
Sleep: It just doesn’t get better – only worse! Less sleep and more uncomfortable every night.
Maternity Clothes: I’ve been loving that some of my most favorite dresses fit like tunics on my pregnant self.
Best moment this week: Annabelle’s 3d/4d ultrasound last weekend was a tad disappointing since our little girl had her face pushed against the placenta. HOWEVER, seeing her chubby cheeks and cute little nose was incredible.
Movement: I’ve started paying attention to the frequency of her movements. They are definitely less jerky little pokes and more slow, hard stretches. The ultrasound tech says that she seems to be pretty squished in there.
Food cravings: Still ice.
Food aversions: Nothing
Belly button in or out: It’s out – sorta flat.
What I miss: Sh’Bam and Body Pump! My heels hurt so bad that I haven’t been able to go to the gym for two weeks. Today I went to Zumba and made it through 30 minutes of class.
What I’m looking forward to: Hanging an amazing piece of artwork in Annabelle’s nursery, putting up floating shelves, and for the baby bag to arrive from PBK.
Randoms: See below…

Obviously I had to order little Miss A’s first Christmas stocking (from Pottery Barn Kids)

Aren’t they just the cutuest?! Thank you so much! Before we know it we are going to be down to days!
LOVE those chunky little cheeks!!! Ah, sleep – will we ever know that that is again?!
You look adorable!! And the ultrasound photo- just want to pinch her cheeks!
I visit often but I dont think i’ve ever commented but today I just have to say… that little Ultrasound pic is the cutest! 😀 so excited for you!
The artwork for her room is beautiful. You are glowing. 🙂 I hope I look half as good as you do when I am expecting!
Was the cat planned background fun or did she/he just want to join you? Either way it is awesome. You look so good, Annabelle is the cutest, you will have her in your arms before you know it.
My cat follows me everywhere! So… he usually makes his way into my pictures haha.
Thank you so much!
Thank you! I know you will look great =0)
I KNOW!!! No more sleep for us!
She is so cute and I can not wait to meet her!
