34 week check-up

I went to the doctor yesterday for my 34 week 5 day check-up. She says all is well. Measurements are on target. I mentioned to her that my breathing issue has gotten worse this week. She said it was because he had most of his body in my ribs on the right side and not to worry about it too much. Easier said than done when you feel like you can't take enough deep breaths to fill your lungs and get some relief...
As of Wednesday, I have gained 23 pounds. I am still walking in the mornings, but not every day. I have been getting a little more sleep at night the last couple weeks. Mainly because I have a deal with Jacob: if he goes to sleep fairly quickly at night and doesn't wake up several times during the night, he gets a prize on the weekend. He did really well with it last week, so we took him to the zoo for the first time this past Sunday (I will post pics at some point in the near future). I told him I would take him to the toy store and he could pick out whatever toy he wanted this coming weekend if he continued to sleep well. He was all excited about that in the beginning of the week, but the last two nights he said he had enough toys and he didn't want to go to the store to pick out a new one. Only my kid would say something like that! Regardless, he is still sleeping better...which is great for me!
Next Thursday, we are scheduled for a 36-week ultrasound to see how big Brennan is and if he is doing what he is supposed to do. We decided to bring Jacob so he can see his baby brother. I think he will enjoy it.
I now have to see the doctor every week, so I will update everyone next week!
