Week 37
Baby size: a winter melon.....umm seriously?!!?! Can't say that I don't look like I swallowed one though! haha
Cool Facts:
How I feel about being pregnant: Sooo...as much as I love it...I'm over it...haha. Believe it or not I am really trying to just enjoy it. But when you can't sit up...it takes effort to get outta bed...driving is a nightmare due to not being able to sit up straight...going to the bathroom is a suddenly a challenge/task ...you just get over being pregnant! The majority of Mackenzie is on my left side and on a nerve...so, my leg falls asleep within 15 minutes and it hurts to walk...fun times! Although every time I feel her kick me (and literally using all her might to break out of my ribs) or just wiggle around, I still love it. As creepy and crazy as it is...I love it and I know I'll miss this feeling. :)
Got a haircut yesterday...Love the length...So much easier to deal with in the summer!
Symptoms: heartburn...
back aches...
shortness of breath...
waddle waddle waddle...
hormones are at bay (I think!)
Braxton Hicks...
Hormonal...
hungry all the time...
Stretch marks: What stretch marks? Oh you mean the tiger claw stripes on belly?! hahaha...oh well...they are totally worth every feeling I have had! (See my attitude changing!??!)
Food Cravings: Food...period...I don't care what it is...For some stupid reason, I am always hungry...and not just like its time to eat hungry..like stupid hungry! At 3am I can be found eating apples!
Something I've done to prepare for baby: Brandon made me pack my hospital bag and Mackenzie's bag. Her bag was much easier...how hard is a pacifier and clothes and a swaddle blanket?! My bag on the other hand took quite some time! He mainly did the packing because I have put it off for 2 weeks. But...its done and the bags are downstairs just in case. It's a good thing that he's so into it! It's funny to watch. Today, I also went to Buy Buy Baby and stocked up on everything that was a necessity (or so in my head) from the registry. Talk about a fun time shopping!!
Funny moment: On Sunday, my mom, Katie and I were all shopping at Target. It started to downpour. So, Katie being nice went and got the car. Then we went to TJ Maxx and again when we left it started to downpour...Well this time it was a fend for yourself kind of deal. Ever see a pregnant lady waddle as fast as she can to the car?!!? If someone had a recorder, I'm pretty sure I could be on America's Funniest Home Videos!
What I miss: Wine...Its finally hot here and feels like summer...a glass of Barefoot Moscato would be HEAVENLY right now....hell, a bottle would be amazing!! I also would love to get outta bed without rolling, having Brandon help me, or grunting! hahaha. Pregnancy really is a trip!
What I'm looking forward to: Being done with Summer Academy so I have all my exchange day points for the year and of course...Meeting Miss Mackenzie :)
Best Moment of the Week: When Brandon and I go lay in bed and he puts his hand on my belly. Before he goes to bed he usually kisses it too. It's so sweet and I love those moments.
Least Favorite Moment of the Week: Mackenzie decided to grab on to whatever she could and kick at my ribs the other day...I can't tell you how much it hurt! I literally shouted! Also, the heartburn that comes as soon as you attempt to lay down! That is AWFUL....no fun at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers...More to come on that later. Have a great week!!! Maybe there will be some crazy exciting news next week! After all, there is a full moon on Monday!!
