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. 

Friday Thoughts

Happy Weekend Everyone!

Thoughts for a Friday...

The weeks are dragging on.  Slowly.  I think it's the lack of sleep and unfortunately, there is no end in sight.  Please don't tell me "Just wait."  I already know.  But thanks.

I'm having a baby shower tomorrow and I'm just now determining I have nothing to wear.  Maybe I should have thought about this earlier.  Despite the fact I'll end up looking like I threw something together at the last minute (which I will), I can't wait.  Note to new moms:  Have your baby shower earlier in your pregnancy.  It's impossible to feel cute when you have a protruding belly.

Pregnancy brain is a real life thing.  I'm getting dumber by the day.  I can no longer go anywhere or do anything without a list.  The pen for my mental list is definitely out of ink. 

We have a Robin that has been ramming into our kitchen window for a week now, full force probably twice a minute from sun up to sun down.  It.Is.Torture.  The government should seriously consider this tactic when trying to break a terrorist.  I'm 99.9% positive it would work. 

The weather here today is pretty lousy, rainy and cold.  April showers I suppose but I was really starting to enjoy the unusually warm weather. 

I had my 32 week doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon.  Everything is looking great and the best news is we get another ultrasound in 2 weeks.  Can't wait to see how much baby girl has grown!

I'm not sure if it's pregnancy hormones or what, but does anyone else ball their eyes out every time that Subaru commercial comes on...the one with the chocolate lab getting older?  It gets me every time and I am not a crier. 

Enough of my pointless post.  Happy Friday!

8 Weeks to Go

Dear Baby Girl,

32 Weeks today which means (hopefully) only 8 weeks left.  Your Aunts are throwing you a baby shower this weekend and I'm getting pretty excited to see everyone.  A lot of people are coming from pretty far away to spoil you...you are so loved already. Every week, I feel more and more like we're ready for your big debut.  Your clothes are washed and your room is pretty much finished.  Feel free to come anytime after 37 weeks, although you seem pretty cozy in there and I have a feeling you'll be late and come when you please. 

We spent Easter weekend just hanging out.  We took Mogley for a run on Saturday and then went to a concert at the Canyons.  I downed a slurpee pre concert so you were ready to party.  Your daddy kept covering my belly b/c he thought the music was too loud for you. No lie.  Sunday we cleaned up the house, did laundry and enjoyed the beautiful Spring weather.  We're definitely looking forward to Easter next year which will most definitely include you, a monogram Easter basket with lots of goodies, and an egg hunt.  I know you won't be able to walk or even remember, but I don't care.

Until next week.

Love, Mom

Due Date: May 28, 2013

Gender: GIRL!!

Movement:  I finally feel like movement is on a schedule.  It's so weird when baby girl stretches out...definitely alien in the belly feeling.

Feeling: About the same.  Overall, pretty good considering how pregnant I am. 

Food Cravings: Still juices

Food Aversions: Nothing (unfortunately)

Clothes: Mostly maternity jeans, leggings and skirts.  I bought a few maternity tshirts that are okay, but I'm still wearing some of my pre pregnancy tops.  

 
Stretch Marks: None.  I have been rotating thru 3 very expensive products.  So far so good.

Sleep: Crap

Symptoms: Big ole' belly.  I do still have a legit belly button which I am psyched about.  At this point, it may go flat but fingers crossed it does not go out.  I'm freaked out by outies.  Sorry.  

What I Miss: Alcohol

Sidenote:  Yes, that is a Mogley in the picture.  Trying to take a photo in my house without a dog is impossible.  We've given up
