My Boys

These 2 guys had a birthday yesterday, 33 for the husband and 9 for little Munch.  They probably weren't as spoiled as usual since I'm 39.3 weeks pregnant (yep, still hanging in there) and have a list of complaints longer than I care to write down.  BUT, I do think they had a good day and I couldn't love either of them more if I tried.  I'm a very lucky girl. Happy Birthday Garrett and Munch! 

Sophistication

Little Munch has a birthday coming up next week.  The Big 9!  And clearly he is getting more sophisticated with age, surfing the internet for the latest news stories vs. cheese of the month clubs and how to get rid of your doodle brother.  My little man is growing up. 

What NOT to say to a Pregnant Girl

"You look like you're about to pop."  It's rude and it makes me want to punch you in the face.  And I realize I have a large belly.  Being 9 1/2 months pregnant will do that to a person.  So, no need to make any sort of comment at all on the state of my physical being.  Got it??  Thanks. 

37 Weeks

Dear Baby Girl,

Today you are 37 weeks and 2 days.  What the hell?  How are we here already?  You are officially considered full term and could come at any time.  Your daddy and I are so ready to meet you, so go ahead and come okay?  It's been great having you in my belly, but I am 100% over being pregnant and ready to bring you home.  Nothing is easy anymore for me and for the love of god, it makes me crazy when people say something like, well at least she's contained, get ready, it's only going to get harder...yeah, thanks for the advice, OR NOT.  Sleep...what's that?  Ankles...used to have them.  Walking...waddling.  Overall, I just feel ready to be done, and we're all ready for you, SO COME ON BABY.  Let's get things moving. Okay??

Love, Mom

Due Date: May 28, 2013

Gender: Little Baby Girl

Movement:  All the time.  Baby Girl is definitely running out of room in there and my stomach feels bruised from the inside.  Jealous?

Feeling: Over it.  Ready to not be pregnant and have a beer.  A real beer.  And cake vodka.

Food Cravings: Nothing

 

Food Aversions: Nothing (unfortunately)

Clothes: Pretty much all maternity at this point, or Garrett's clothes.  Sad.

 
Stretch Marks: Still none!  Hang in there skin!

Sleep: Junk

Symptoms: Swollen feet and ankles, huge belly.

What I Miss: Being able to wear my regular clothes, beer, my body, being able to walk more than 10 feet without being out of breath

One of those Days

I am 35weeks and 1day pregnant. I would take a picture, but I don't have the motivation. I'm getting extremely uncomfortable at this point and am so over being pregnant. It hurts to bend over, it's getting hard to breathe, I feel like I'm going to explode every time I eat so much as a cracker, sleep is impossible, my clothes are all uncomfortable and I'm sick of wearing the same thing, and to top it all off, I'm full blown waddling.  Such a freakin miracle. A puppy would have been so much easier. Just kidding...kind of.

Dogs in a Bed

We normally don't let Mogley in our bed, for obvious hugeness reasons, but every now and then, we allow it and he hops up and makes himself pretty comfortable. Munch doesn't like it, but then again, Munch doesn't really like anything, unless it involves cheese or cookies. 

Thursday Ramblings:

In other news, my due date is in 40 days. Pure craziness. We're pretty much set in terms of baby gear, nursery is done. There are just a few odds and ends I need to get in the next few weeks and we'll be ready for her big arrival. 

Yes, we have a name picked out for Baby Girl. No, we're not telling anyone. It doesn't matter how many times you ask me. 

I'm so looking forward to having Baby Girl here and not being pregnant anymore. Not at all looking forward to labor/giving birth. Like not at all. Call me crazy, and a lot of people would argue to the death with me, but I'd rather have a C-section.  We're all entitled to our own opinion. 

It's almost Friday and I couldn't be more thrilled.  Pregnancy is definitely catching up with me and all I want to do right now is lounge around, which is so unlike me. Munch's dreams have finally come true. 

Fishing

Within the last 9 months, this guy has really gotten into fly fishing.  Like a lot.  I'm not sure if he really loves it, or was just looking for the one sport that we didn't already own every piece of gear for.
