34.


 So, I am officially 34 weeks pregnant! That is insane. Wanna know something else that's insane? - as of last Thursday when I went to the doctor, I had gained 30 lbs! But until I have another appointment next week to confirm the large amount of weight gain, I'm going with, I had just eaten lunch. So that's at least 3-4 extra pounds just hanging out and doing nothing. 

Also, I have lots (ok two) great pregnancy stories to update you on this week.

Just before heading to the doctor's office last week I had to use the bathroom. But I held it. Why? Because I knew they were going to make me pee in a cup when I got there and I wanted to be prepared. Then I got there and was so preoccupied by the fact that I really had to use the bathroom that I went ahead and completely forgot to use the cup. Needless to say they fed me lots of water during my appointment and we had to do a take two of the bathroom scene before I left.

Last night after work I stopped by the Verizon store. For whatever reason my phone was not allowing me to send or receive picture messages even though everything appeared to be in place. Then the tech fixed it for me. Anyway, that's not about me being pregnant. While I was waiting for someone to help me I accidentally dropped my car keys on the floor and thus bent over to pick them up. As I'm standing up I notice a girl who is probably in college rushing over

Girl: Oh, I was going to get those for you.
Me: Oh, thank you. I'm all right though.
Girl: Umm, do you mind if I touch your belly.
Me: Oh yeah, sure. Whatever.
Girl: Oh my god. I think this is the head right here. I'm sorry I'm touching this so much. This is just so exciting. My mom was in labor with me for 36 hours, not that I'm trying to scare you or anything. She was 30 when she had me though.  I'm sorry if I'm pushing too hard. I would just love to be pregnant right now. Oh my god! But I am just too young! Do you know if its a boy or a girl?
Me: Oh, it's a girl.
Girl: Oh my god. That is so great. Do you have a name picked out?
Me: Oh yeah, we're going to name her Aubrey.
Girl: Oh my god, that is such a beautiful name! You don't hear too many Aubrey's. I wish I had a great name like that. My name is Kristin but I wish it was Chrystanthamum. Well good luck with everything! Bye!



My belly is so huge in this picture I swear I look just like I did when I was twelve years old and my cousin and I stuffed balloons in our shirts at a baby shower.
