Week 34

This week marks the 34th week, and there is really nothing new to report. With a multiples pregnancy, weekly visits would have begun about two weeks ago. By this time with the girls, I was going to the doctor 1-2 times per week, having non-stress tests and weekly sonograms. We like the lack of drama that accompanies a singleton pregnancy, and we are hopeful that the drama-free pregnancy is a harbinger of a no-drama baby. We have one more two-week appointment, and then the weekly appointments will commence.  Although I am not eager to become a weekly fixture at my doctor's office, we delivered the girls at 36 weeks, and therefore, I am going to use the waiting room downtime to peruse the Internet, read books or magazines and/or otherwise reflect quietly on my ability to (mostly) sleep through the night.   
Other 34 week tidbits: 

He now weighs approximately 4 3/4th pounds and is approximately 18 inches long.  He is the size of an average cantaloupe.  He is still working hard on his central nervous system, and his lungs are continuing to mature.  He will need especially strong lungs to be heard over the constant chatter of Gracie and Lauren, but he is probably aware of that already, on some level, as they both stand at my stomach and yell "I LOVE YOU, BABY BROVER!" a few times throughout the day.  Unlike Baby Brother, those girls are all about the drama.
