34 Weeks

Time is going to so quickly. I can hardly believe that in 6 weeks we will be having our third child.
This pregnancy has had it's ups and downs. Nobody ever told me that each pregnancy becomes more physically draining then the last. I just feel so tired all the time. I get many aches and pains. I feel so whiny and like I complain a lot. I mentioned this to Shawn the other day and he just laughed. He neglected to comment. Good man he is.
On the other hand, this little guy moves a lot. It's nice to feel him moving so much except when he decides to tuck his little foot right under my ribcage and I can hardly breathe.
I'm excited most to see how the boys are once he is born. Jack talks about his being born in June. He knows it is around Daddy's birthday but that we don't know the exact date. I asked him what he thought of my big belly the other day. He replied "It's perfect". Such a sweet boy.
I have no idea what to expect from Oliver. He is either going to be a doting, loving, overbearing brother or he won't bother with him at all. I'm leaning toward the first. I could of course, be in for a surprise. I hate surprises.
Shawn and I are going to try putting bunk beds together tomorrow. We managed today to put together a dresser from Ikea without killing each other (we didn't once argue/disagree on anything), so we shall see how it goes tomorrow. I honestly think it was the first time we put something together and didn't once shout at one another or become frustrated.
I have a prenatal visit this week. I really hate the weight part. Whatever, I know I'm pregnant and all that stuff but it's still depressing seeing the number every couple of weeks. It doesn't help that I never weigh myself normally so to have to do it all the time just kind of sucks. I'm doing well though. I haven't gained a crazy amount of weight. I'm right within what is normal. I just know it wasn't easy to lose all of the weight the last time (I could never lose that last 5 lbs) and I'm going to have far less time to myself. I'm grateful it's going to be the summer so we will be out for lots of walks and trips to the park/zoo.
