Yahoo! 34 weeks! Things are going very good. I'm having energetic days and not so energetic days. Ryenne's room is coming along beautifully thanks to all the help from Mom and Dad. I think it's going to be the prettiest baby room I've ever seen.
According to online websites, babies at 34 weeks are about 4.7 pounds and almost 18 inches long! She is putting on lots of fat right now and probably has all her hair too (my little monkey).
She enjoys kicking me very hard and sometimes I can feel a foot stick out (usually closer to my side). As we approach May, I realize that we're getting closer and closer to her being here! I can't wait!! It could be 4 weeks, it could be 6 weeks!!

Making some progress...
Mom has been working hard at painting Ryenne's room and it's really almost done!! The colors are amazing - I'm so in love with them. The chair rail goes up tomorrow. We picked up the crib and will be able to set it up soon! I can't wait to see the room 'all done'!
I was feeling very lethargic today. I think I'm still anemic. Been taking my vitamins but obviously I'm not getting enough iron. So I have some cast iron skillets coming my way from Mom and I'll cook with those and that should help a bit I think.
It was a beautiful day in Haiku today... no rain - just sunshine and clear skies!

More Updates
We went on a tour of the maternity ward at the hospital the other day. Very informative I must say. I still don't want to have to stay there very long! LOL... I dunno.. something about hospitals.
We also had some pregnancy photos taken and I'm very happy with the results. I'll post those separately...
Letsee, I'm 33 weeks along now and had a good Dr. appointment this morning. Got to hear that wonderful heartbeat. Ryenne is head down already and definitely moving around quite a bit. I think she thinks it's hilarious to beat on my bladder whenever she gets the chance.
Meanwhile, my ice cream obsessions continue and it's almost the only thing I want to eat. LOL. Well.. ice cream and chocolate milk. hehe =)
Got a few things for her room today - some beautiful vintage looking flower fairy wall hangings and a chair rail and paint. Mom is so graciously going to paint the room and it's going to be so cute! Once it's all done, I'll definitely post pictures.

Peter has the flu =(
Poor Peter has been up all night with the flu and isn't feeling any better today. I'm trying to help him as much as I can without contracting the flu myself. Poor guy... I feel so bad that he's miserable. It's been a long time since he's been sick, so when he does it's just not good at all.

Almost There... (and updates)
I only have one more family photo session and one more wedding and then I'm officially on maternity leave! WooHoo!!
It feels so great because I'll be able to concentrate on getting Ryenne's room ready and I'll feel so much more prepared.
Today was such a lazy day for me. It's funny - sometimes I have high energy days and sometimes low energy days - today was a LOW ENERGY day. I didn't get anything accomplished at all (but I did have a good 4 hour nap!).
Tomorrow I'll be working on taxes (blah) and getting some stuff done so I don't have to worry about it later in the week.
Had some killer watermelon for dinner tonight. It was fabulous! =)
**edit for Auntie Aura**
Friday's appointment was more fetal monitoring. Of course Ryenne was moving like crazy all morning and then we get to Kaiser and... nothing. I think she hates going to the doctor. She barely moved when I was on the fetal monitor, so they sent me down for an ultrasound just to check her out. Then she started banging on the u/s wand and the tech had a hard time because she was moving so much. She is measuring big at just over 4 pounds already! The tech wasn't very nice - we got no pictures and she pushed too hard on my tummy and I got a bruise =(

A Scare & A Purple Sky
Had a little scare today... Ryenne really didn't move all day long and that had me worried. So I went to the doctors and they had me on the fetal monitor for a while. It was very reassuring to hear her heart beating, but she's remained pretty inactive today. I'll be going back on Friday for a check-up. Maybe she's just being lazy??
On a different note, the weather was extremely unique yesterday. It was rainy and the clouds turned an intense purple around sunset time. This image was taken from the front window. The picture doesn't even do the purple justice. It was amazing.
