34 weeks

34 weeks (last week) and i've been in a competition with myself to eat as many pastries as possible before i no longer have an excuse. here i am in front of my second favorite bakery in our town:



i know i have no experience and don't know what to expect in a pregnancy, but i still believe that this baby is the most mobile baby EVER. just for kicks (ha!) i tried what they call "kick counting". i guess the point is to make sure your baby moves at least 10 times every 2 hours. this one moved 10 times in the first 30 minutes of me counting....and it continues. the movements are sweeping and large and body chilling at times. now i know this most likely doesn't coordinate with how she/he will be after birth, but if it in some way does, we are in serious trouble. i do know that brant and i were both pretty amazing sleepers as babies, so hopefully that will carry over?! :) we tried to capture some of the kicks and prods, but it didn't quite work out. so here's just a picture of my big belly:



and lastly, brant thinks that it'll be cool to have a picture of me by this sign now and then a picture of me by the leaving orenhofen sign when we move in three years....with an almost three year old! so here's the first installment: :)



tschuss!
