34 weeks!

I have been terrible at taking pictures of my growing belly.  I wanted to take more pictures with this pregnancy b/c we didn't take many with Sam's pregnancy and I regret it.  I just don't remember what I look like so I like to have pictures to remember.  
Okay, so 34 weeks.  Wow, 6 weeks left, WHAT!  Crazy, crazy, crazy.  I'm telling you this pregnancy has flown by.  However, that being said I have definitely been feeling pregnant lately.  I still feel pretty good but I was soooo super tired last week.  I worked a lot last week so I went to bed pretty late and that just catches up to you after a while.  I have still been going to the gym.  Last week was by far the hardest in my workouts.  I don't know if it was because I hadn't gotten enough sleep or what but my workouts just struggled.  Sam willingly goes to the gym daycare and I LOVE IT!!  I think it was more me then him.  I don't know, I just had a hard time leaving him with strangers.  So I decided to go in and talk to the ladies so I knew them a little bit.  They are great and I feel much better leaving him there. 
 Honestly, I didn't want to work out at all last week but it gets us up and out of the house and gives me a break from Sam so we went anyway.  I'm sure that will be how the next 6 weeks will be.  I wanted to get him use to going before the baby came so that I could go after the baby came later and not at 5:30 am anymore.  With working at night and not going to bed until 12 or 1 there is no way I can get up that early.  Mission accomplished, I hope!  
The baby is still a shaker and a mover.  However, I believe she is going to be a night owl.  I clearly remember Sam waking me up kicking at 6:00 a.m. when I was pregnant with him.  I use to always tell Dan that Sam was taking a kickboxing class every morning at 6 o'clock.  And as mentioned in many previous posts he is a morning baby.  This baby is really quite in the mornings but is crazy all night.  I hope that means she will sleep in.  However I'm not sure how I feel about having a morning kid and a night owl.  Could be interesting!  I'm sure you can get them to sleep when you want to but I really believe some kids are more morning.  
My belly is getting quite heavy so I have all the fun things that come with that.  The pains from rolling over in bed, going to the bathroom constantly, and just feeling huge but it's all part of the fun right?  I have no problem sleeping though.  Well, I usually have to get up to go to the bathroom but I fall right back to sleep and I feel lucky to be sleeping so well.  After stepping on the scale last week I decided I'm not going to do that anymore.  I haven't looked at the scale at the doctor for a good 2-3 visits now.  I'm just not going to stress about it.  I'm exercising, eating good (oh wait, no I'm not), and I'm just going to focus on the first one okay.
I can't wait to meet this little girl but I'm glad we have a while 'cause I'm not quite ready.  We call her Quinellie around the house b/c we haven't decided yet.  You know, we have to see her first.  42 days sounds a lot less to me than 6 weeks.  She is going to be here and turning one before we know it.  Time just goes so fast!
