Baby update- week 34 and second baby shower details!

How far along? 34 weeks and 4 days

How big is baby? 

Gender? A BOY!! His name is Beckett Easton as a first and middle name. 

Weight gain? As of Tuesday morning I lost 3 more pounds :( 

Due Date?  People are now taking bets! One friend said August 12th. Husband thinks it's going to be August 8th and my Mom texts me every night asking if it's happening :) Beckett like before is  so low and ready to go sometimes when I walk I have to stop and squeeze my legs together because it literally feels like something is going to fall out. Our due date is September 10th 

Symptoms? My hip is KILLING ME! I have no idea how I am going to lay on my back while in the hospital. I can't even do it at ultrasound appointments {which makes things tricky} nor doctor appointments. I have to do ninja tricks and levitate somewhat at night just to roll in bed and avoid laying flat on my back. I'm sure the visual of that while you were reading is pretty accurate, no matter what it looked like. I hurt all over, I feel like I've been hit by a car. I'm so stretched out and he has no more room so that's why he is so ready to go. They are trying to delay it and they knew this would be an issue since I have such a small frame but they are pretty confident at this point my body can't expand any farther which is going to only stress him out at a certain point.    

Food cravings? I feel so full that food is the last thing on my mind. I'm trying to eat fruit and protein but if I eat to much {which is normally about 6-7 bites at a time}I feel so sick. Smaller meals through the day is what I'm aiming for but it's not going very well.  

Sleep? I sleep through the night with the exception of a leg cramp or to go pee. I've been very lucky this whole ride to have sleep come so easy and soundly. 

Movement? He is not as active as he was before that's for sure. I'm sure that has a little bit to do with having no room but now when he does move it hurts like a monkey. Especially his feet or butt at the top of my stomach/rib cage area. I literally feel like beating him or pushing him off some how when I can't breath as my brain goes into a lack of oxygen panic though I'm not sure any of that would work to my benefit. 


Beckett on the web: Beckett has his own little friends and family blog so you can check it out and leave him some love if you want to! You can see it at this link Little Mast 

Other Stuff? With the LA shower behind us now we had our SF shower this last weekend. I am so honored to have the greatest friends and neighbors anyone could ask for. I love them to death and they have just become so close and dear to our hearts. WE LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! I loved everything about it. The decor, the food "Lady MB" made and she even had Bellini's for everyone. It was smooth, easy, low key, causal and everything I could ask for. We originally had a huge long guest list and I was so excited for that. Now however since I hurt so bad and can barely sit or walk with my hip I was semi thankful for the lower headcount. At the end of the day however {when I was climbing into bed when it was still light outside haha} I was still sad not to see the people I thought we would see :( My mom flew up for the weekend which is always hard. She flys up on Saturday mornings and then leaves Sunday afternoons so she is hardly even here with us for a full 24 hours! I'm normally cranky and tired from getting ready for her to stay that I'm no fun to be around when she is here :( After Beckett arrives that will change however and she will get to take some actual time off and hang out. The crankiness however might still be there but for different reasons :) Here are pics of the baby shower this past weekend-
