34 weeks pregnancy update

update:

• 34 weeks = 8.5 months
• as of tomorrow, only 5 more weeks (35 days) from my due date
• mister should be around 4.25 lbs and 18 inches long
• no changes in his movement from last week.  on friday night, husband really got to feel him moving around when we stayed up watching a movie. 
• my movement:  not a lot of change here either.  
• sleep:  also, about the same as last week.  
• energy level:  i have seen a lot of change this week in energy.  by about 10 am and then again at 2pm, im ready for a nap.  this is fine except for the fact that im at work and siestas are frowned upon. 
• nursery:  on sunday, i dropped the fabric for the rocker off to my mom's cousin.  she is recovering the cushions and im stoked to see how they turn out.  last night, i played around with our awesome baby monitor and i think i will have to rearrange the room a little to make sure the camera can see into the crib well.  after thats all set, i will start putting together the collage wall.  i was at the flea market on saturday and i found a really great piece to use as a shelf and photo display.  i am waiting for something i ordered from etsy to come in and only need a few more picture frames.  the wall is really coming together in my mind ... lets just hope it doesnt look rediculous when i put it up. 
• belly button:  in
• stretch marks:  none
• we went to tour the hospital on tuesday night.  the staff and rooms seem great.  there was something oddly comforting about being in a room with a bunch of people going thru almost the exact same thing as you.  all the women in our group looked to be in their 3rd trimester and if i had to guess, i would say that maybe only one other couple already has a kid. 
• i finally signed us up for a birthing class.  it was too late to get us into one at the hospital and i had a hard time finding a local place that didnt seem to have an agenda.  unfortunately, its only 2 weeks before our due date so i have to make sure we wont loose all our money if i go into labor before we make it to the class :)
