Can someone please tell me why it’s SO hard to sleep the month or so before baby is born? Isn’t this when I should be getting some of my best sleep, BEFORE baby gets here? YEESH! Get a load of my “cankles!!” (no, they are NOT usually this big…) I mean WOAH. I miss my…
WW – To The Baby Girl Inside
There was a time when I thought you would never be. But someone else had a different plan. I’d gotten used to the idea of our family being me, Daddy and your brothers. I’d embraced the fact that this was our little family and I was happy. Then one day everything changed. Daddy and I…
WW – “It Has It’s Own Weather System!”
500 Points if you can get the movie reference. I’m talking about the belly of course. I swear it has a life of it’s own. Oh wait. It does. At 34 weeks I’m feeling huge and my feet and ankles are big, swollen freaky looking things. All the time. The B man has felt and…
Seen
Yesterday morning we all went to my OB’s office and after the cool gel was applied, saw the baby girl again. The boys were in the room (I’ve never had kids in my ultra sounds before) and although I’m sure they (especially Little G) had NO idea what was on the screen, they did pretty…
I Think I Could Set a Drink on It
My belly is big. I know, I know. I’m 32 weeks pregnant so it’s gonna be. But seriously, this time, I feel Bigg-ER than either of the other two times. Oh and did you catch that? I said 32 WEEKS pregnant. And since a c-section* will more-than-likely be scheduled the week before my due date…
WW – At 27 Weeks…
… I have a pointy belly and I’m waddling. Yes folks. Waddling. I caught myself doing some duck-like walking down the hallway today and I tried to adjust to a regular gait but it just didn’t happen. My back is killing me on the lower right side and I bought one of those belly belts…
Tuesday Tid-bits
* Some strangers packed up all our stuff yesterday. But according to my husband, they were nice strangers. The boys and I are staying away from the chaos that is packing up a home and we are currently living with our good friends until our departure on Friday. Our oldest boys are good friends and…
So, Apparently This Week I’m Carrying Around a Rutabaga
Every week I receive an email in my inbox that updates me on my pregnancy and the progress of the baby’s growth, etc. I realized after 20 weeks (I’ve been getting the updates since I was 5 weeks pregnant) that the comparison of baby’s size each week is basically like a trip to the produce…
This Gestating Thing is Hard…
….Well, with 2 other kids anyway. I seem to hit a wall around 3 p.m. every day and I’m just TIRED, like more tired than I’ve ever been in my life. I mean I ran a 5K and still wasn’t this tired (ok, I walked some, but you know what I mean) I admit, I…
Yes Sir, That’s My Baby! (girl…)
I walked in the room, layed on the table and exposed my belly. Then the cold gel. My heart started to beat really fast as I thought “This woman is about to tell me if I’m going to have another baby boy or if I will get to have a daughter.”My husband likes to talk…
