34 Weeks

I went today for my 34 week appointment with Quinn.  I've been have some problems with sciatic nerve pain.  It's definitely no bueno.  After a pretty rough few days with it, I was finally feeling a little better this afternoon.  My doctor was back in the office for my appointment.  She was feeling of my stomach and suddenly laughed.  She said, "I poked him, and he poked me back!"  Yeah, that's my boy!  He doesn't take kindly to being poked and prodded.  She was happy with his progress, and I go back to see her in two weeks.  At that appointment, we'll have our final ultrasound to check his position, get an idea of his weight, etc.  I'm excited for that.  I can't wait to see him...even just in black and white. 

I went out to lunch with some co-workers the other day to Gloria's.  As I unfolded my napkin, it occurred to me that I hadn't been to a restaurant in awhile that had cloth napkins.  I couldn't help but start giggling.  My friend, Dana, asked me what was so funny.  I told her that I had no lap to put my napkin in.  My belly was touching the table.  She said I should just tuck it into the collar of my shirt.  Haha!  I didn't, but I did actually consider it.

When I went to pick Mia up from daycare, she came running at me saying, "My baby!  My baby!"  She hugged my stomach tight.  I said, "Your baby?"  She told me, "Yes, Mommy.  It's my baby!"  She already really loves Quinn.  She kept kissing my stomach and putting blankets on it for Quinn this evening.  She likes to make silly faces at my tummy.  Then, she laughs and says, "Quinn thinks that's sooo funny!"

One story that I don't think I ever posted about here on the blog happened several weeks ago.  Mia likes to talk directly into my belly button often.  One day, she walked up to me, pulled up my shirt, and shined her little, pink flashlight into my belly button.  When I asked her what she was doing, she said she was looking for her brother!  I guess she figures that my belly button is an all-access point to Quinn.  Haha!
