July 9, 2008: 34 weeks and it's the 8 month belly shot!

I don't know exactly how big I'm supposed to look, but this feels HUGE. I wish I could take pictures of the little feet and body parts that stick out of me frequently, but I don't think I could catch him. He's way too quick moving around in there. He does however, get hiccups ALL the time. At least once a day, and usually after I eat. It's so funny to feel. Nick gets upset when they last awhile, like he wants me to do something. He's so cute, he's always worried about everything being normal and whether doo's okay. I'm still on the tomatoes and cottage cheese kick...I can't help it, the tomatoes from the Farmer's Market are so fresh and good, esp. now. I'm also making one of my childhood favorites, stuffed peppers, at least once a week. I've always had a weird food habit where I like to eat the same thing over and over again, so I guess I'm not surprised I'm doing it during my pregnancy. Yeah, the ice cream is still around. Not every day, but I do have my waffle bowls, chocolate ice cream, bananas, walnuts, and cool whip around just in case I get a craving :)I don't think I posted about my last doctor's appointment, but there wasn't much to say. No ultrasound :( Just the routine weight, blood pressure, and listen to the heartbeat. I had only gained 2 lbs that month, but to be fair it was during my finals and our huge move...so I was not entirely surprised with all the stress I was under. My next appointment is on the 21st and I'll be taking the grandmas (Mal and Debbie) who will still be in town. I'm almost positive I'll get an ultrasound at this appointment, at least to see how big he's getting and maybe get some insight into when he might be coming. I'm SO excited for the grandmas and aunties-to-be (Rachy and Linds) to come next weekend!!! Meha's not going to be able to make it because of her school which means we won't have as much fun without her and my make-up will not look as great. She'll get a visit in sometime though to meet her baby doo. Since we are being invaded by the women in our families, Nick has decided to flee to Vegas with Cameron and some guy friends from LA. I reminded Nick this is NOT a second bachelor party, but I guess he needs one more run to Vegas before our money starts going into college funds rather than blackjack tables :)
