45 days left!

Sometimes I want it to hurry along and other times I cannot believe how fast it is going. Anna is doing well. This weekend she decided to move up and now rests her back above my belly button. I had some blood work run to check this with my swelling and slightly high blood pressure. Everything came back good and clean, so I just need to stay off my feet more. One more week at work, then I am done.
I am at week 34, so this means Anna is around 17 inches and 4-4.5 pounds. She continues to move around, but is starting to show signs of sleep patterns. John put his head on my belly to listen and got a kick to the ear. She does not want to be crowded. My uterine and abdominal walls are getting thinner allowing her to see more light and work on opening and closing her eyes. We are estimating her final weight to be in the low eights. We shall see!
We had our first snow here this morning. Very wet and melted quickly. Was still nice to see. We are still waiting for our Pin Oak to drop leaves so that all the leaves will be raked up. The acorns are a different story. So many! Things are slowly getting done around the house, but very slowly as I cannot do too much helping. I cannot imagine bed rest, house rest is bad enough! Ally and Milo find our days to be boring. I would play with them more if Ally would bring her toy to me rather than a foot away. I told John I need one of those long gripper arms.
We scheduled our birthing class and went to our breast feeding class. We have a baby shower at Hallmark on Thursday, then need to make plans for Thanksgiving. I did not realize it was so close! I hope everyone is well!
