34 Weeks

I am getting close and in the home stretch so they say but I don't think I'll believe it until I'm checking in the hospital to give birth.  I am so ready and really getting big!  No, I'm not as active as I need to be and I am absolutely NOT going to the gym!  I have huge plans for what I'm going to do after the baby is born.  I plan to lose this much weight and plan to take this class at the gym and walk this many miles.  I at least have goals but I am not very motivated to accomplish these goals at this current time to be honest as the contractions are coming on pretty painfully.

As for my eating, I have done great!  I only have gained about 10 pounds so far and have eaten pretty healthy thanks to cooking a good deal at home.  Not that I don't have cravings.  In the early stages of pregnancy I couldn't get enough of calamata olives, especially in a nice fresh Greek salad.  Last month I would dream of eating cupcakes,  I only gave into that craving twice.  I made a trip to the famous sprinkles and I ate the best tasting cupcake I have eaten.  The second time I made cupcakes at home and made my own icing which I didn't like so I guess that is a good thing because I only had one and I no longer wanted cupcakes anymore.  My new craving is strawberries and boy I can't get enough of them.  They are sweet and full of water and I just feel nourished when I have them.  So at this point... Bring on the strawberries!
