34 Week Update

How far along: 34 weeks, 4 days...38 days to go
Total weight gain/loss:  I haven't really been keeping up with my weight tracking.  At my last OB appointment I was 13 lbs total.
How big is Baby: Baby is about the size of a butternut squash.  
 At less than two months to go, he weighs in at about 4.2 pounds to 5.8 pounds and measures about 17.2 to 18.7 inches.
Maternity Clothes: Yes...That's all I can wear.   
Sleep: Sleep is getting rough.  I am starting to get uncomfortable which is making me toss and turn.  Either because I'm uncomfortable or my body feels it's time to get up.  Some times it's rough going back to sleep.  And my temperature is slowly rising so that is making me uncomfortable as well.  Back aches are starting to get worse during the night.  I'm also starting to get up very early.  This past weekend was 5:30 am both Saturday and Sunday.  
Movement: Yes and it is amazing.  She is getting very active and the movement is more noticeable now that she is getting bigger.  Some of her kicks are starting to get a bit painful
Food cravings:  cravings are starting to go away.  still love freezy pops though
Food aversions: none really.  
Gender: It's a girl.
Symptoms:  Getting more fatigued through out the week (especially when I'm a bit more active around the house cleaning and such), swollen ankles, leg cramps, back aches.  I've been getting more clumsy and forgetful as the weeks progress.  Since it is getting very hot here, and very quickly, my body is starting to swell if I'm on my feet too long....or outside too long.
Best moment this week:  Still going to say my nesting.  My house is becoming more cleaner and organized....J is thrilled about this "symptom"    
What I am looking forward to:  Setting up our Little One's crib and nursery.    

What I still need to do:  set up her nursery; buy a monitor and any other last minute items (a few diapers in various brands, milk storage bags [this can wait until after birth], shorts, pants, skirts, onsies, sleepers; clean up the changing table; buy nursing bras; pack hospital bag.
