nesting and swelling and nausea OH MY!

I have been waiting my whole pregnancy to finally hit that nesting stage i heard so much about. Way back when i had just announced i was pregnant a lady i used to baby sit for gave me ALL her old girls' 3-12 month clothes. She had her first daughter in august and said she's been waiting to pass them on to someone who has an august baby, so they are for the correct season/warmth etc. They have been sitting in a bin, unfolded and unsorted for six months. Today i finally took them all out, sorted them and put them away. i have all the 3-6 month clothes in 1/2 my old dresser (organized by onesie, pants, outfit and then the cute little dresses and sweaters are hung up) and the rest is organized by size and put back into storage, in the closet not baby's floor! all the newborn stuff is out and in a pile (we don't have a hamper or basket yet but hopefully will get one soon) to be washed and put away. I still need pretty much everything for baby (changing station, crib, sheets, diapers, wipes, bags, etc) but i know where it will all go so when we get it it's easy to put away! Also we finally got decor on the walls of the nursery (just one wall) and it's SO cute.Once we get the nursery finished i PROMISE i will post pictures!

How far along?: 34 weeks

 How big is baby?: according to the doctor right on track.


Stretch marks?:yes but if anyone is seeing my stomach at this point it's because they are my husband or doctor and neither of them care.

 Sleep?: not bad, i am sick of peeing all night every night
 
Food cravings? nothing, i am back to being sick. literally every time i eat something within 5 minutes i am throwing it all back up. i don't feel nausea or anything, in fact i feel like i am always super hungry but every time i eat i have to excuse myself, get sick, then i can finish my meal in peace. Sorry if that's TMI but it's the weirdest thing. after I'm sick i am able to eat small portions. this has happened every meal for 4 days now. It's easier than when i was sick before, but i wish i knew what caused it. I know it's not WHAT i eat because i have made sure to eat such a variety to rule out anything specific so i can cut it form my diet. I think i will just blame the heat. I've been SO hot ALL the time with this weather that it seems like a good thing to blame.
 
Movement?: not as much lately. i know she is getting a bit cramped in there

Gender?: GIRL!

Belly button?: very stretched out, but still an innie! Kel and i had a bet, he bet my belly button would be an outie by now- i totally won! i bet i never have an outie

What are you looking forward to this week?
well i REALLY want to start packing our hospital bag, but i am making myself wait at least 2 more weeks. That plus i have NO nursing bras or tank tops or ANYTHING. we take a class next week on breastfeeding, etc so i want to wait until after that class to buy any of that. plus i have BABY SHOWERS (so pumped) and Kel and I aren't buying anything until after those. But we are both getting overtime on our next paydays so i am hoping to set money aside for diapers (check out www.pinstipesandpolkadots.com to see what kind of cloth diapers we registered for) and other baby needs.


Random question: did anyone else who had a late summer baby ever get swollen hands/feet/legs/everything! yesterday i was outside for the shortest time ever (5 minutes) and afterwards my hands and legs were SO swollen i couldn't make a fist or walk. i immediately laid down, drank a ton of water and Gatorade and iced them. It hurts so much when my feet swell and i was wondering if anyone else had to deal with extreme swelling and HOW you dealt with it.
