34 weeks

Hello! Just thought I'd blog a little bit today about how I'm feeling. I'm noticing I can't eat as much as I used to because I'm getting full faster. I read that it's normal but I'll probably be eating more smaller meals from now on. Last night I was so hungry by the time I had dinner that I tried to eat a big meal and I felt awful up until midnight. At least I watched all of the Oscars on tv!
Some days I feel incredibly huge! I get a tight feeling at the top of my stomach and I wonder if that is a Braxton-Hicks contraction. It doesn't hurt, it's just a little uncomfortable. I'm also kind of out of breath. I can't make sudden moves like leaping out of a sitting position or I'll get winded or my heart starts to race. I have to get out of bed very carefully now.
I'm really excited about the countdown to seeing our baby girl. I put together the bassinet that will be in our room and I'm gathering baby supplies like diapers. I've been getting Huggies diapers because they have Winnie the Pooh on them. Some friends and family members recommend Pampers so I'll try them out too. I'm just not sold on cloth diapers although I do have a set of them.
Sometimes I do get a little anxious about being a parent. I think now that I've seen how my brother is handling it, I feel better about the responsibility.
