Pregnancy Update - 34 weeks

I realized that I better at least get one picture of my growing belly before this little girl joins our family! It's crazy how each pregnancy has gone faster because life gets busier. When I was pregnant with Lyla, I took pictures every week and loved seeing the change over time as I grew. This time, though, each week has just flown by and I rarely have time to even do my hair or find something cute to wear, so taking pictures doesn't sound like such a great idea! :)  

This is me today, 34 weeks. Do I look as tired as I feel these days? I've decided it's a bad combination to have my normal sleep issues, pregnancy sleep issues as I get more uncomfortable, Paul waking up most mornings at 5 am to golf, and Trevor deciding that 6 am is a fun time to wake up for the day. I really need to find a way to catch up on some good sleep before the really hard nights come with a sweet little newborn! (By the way- Paul showers the night before, gets all of his clothes ready, etc. so he can get ready quietly. He's very sweet and tries so hard to keep me asleep, I just have issues where I wake up with any tiny noise. Just didn't want it to sound like it was his fault! :)
I was able to keep running slowly this pregnancy for awhile- I did a few 2 mile runs each week at a very slow pace up until last week when I decided that my body just couldn't take it anymore. I'm excited to get back to running in a few months- running while pregnant is definitely more uncomfortable and painful! Zumba has been my favorite form of exercise this time- I try to go twice a week and although I'm sure I look ridiculous, it feels so good and keeps me somewhat in shape. 

I can't believe I'm 5 weeks out from when I'll be induced and then we'll move to AZ!! I'm excited to meet our little girl and I'm so grateful for amazing family and friends who are going to help us through that time. It's such a blessing to have close relationship and to be able to serve and accept service at different points in our lives. I'm getting used to the fact that I will just have to accept a lot of service for a little bit- I know that it will help my family transition as smoothly as possible and hopefully Lyla and Trevor won't feel too neglected.

I wake up to every little noise at night as well. I guess it's just what being a Mom does to you. I hope you can get some extra sleep before the baby comes. Congratulations on the baby, I am so excited for you guys! Good luck with the move, new baby and everything.
