Come again?!
How did that happen so fast?
I cannot believe I am in my last month of pregnancy!
While I am so ready to be back to my pre-pregnancy self, I am totally not ready for this little girl to make her arrival!
It is amazing how much stuff you need to do prior to having a baby!
While most of these things aren't a necessity in order for Tegan to arrive, being a type A kind of person, they are a necessity for my sanity!
I so desperately want to have her nursery completely put together.
It is driving me crazy that I cannot find a dresser
and until I find one, I am at a complete halt with her room.
I have officially avoided even going into the nursery. I cannot stand seeing all the cute stuff lying all over the floor, waiting to be folded, hung up, organized, and put in their perfect spot.
I sure hope that within the next week, we will come up with some kind of solution, and that perfect dresser will make itself known!
The other thing I have yet to do is pack my hospital bag!
I told Randy about a week ago that we needed to do so and he responded, "For what?! We're coming home right after that baby is born!"
Haha, oh man, little does he know about all the things we actually do need.
The baby items are easy and I pretty much already know what I need to pack for Tegan; however,
I need to go purchase some necessities for myself post-baby, as well as snacks for Randy and things to keep us both occupied like magazines, new movies, etc.
I'm sure my mind will be somewhere else once we actually are admitted into L&D, but you never know; I would rather have the option of too much to do, than have nothing at all.
Well, I don't have much else to report for this week, so here it is:
How far
along? 35 Weeks 2 days
Total
weight gain: Ugh, I hit my max weight that I wanted to gain.. I
am up 30 lbs.. I am really hoping that some of this past weight gain was due to
it being 91 degrees the day of my appointment and it was early evening, meaning
maybe more water retention! Lol
Maternity
clothes? Oh yes.. I continue to grow and my wardrobe is becoming even more
limited. I refuse to buy anything else at this point though.
Stretch
marks? No, but I feel like they could be around the corner. I have this little
vein on my right side that is about 2 mm, very faint, and Randy keeps freaking
me out that it is going to turn into a stretch mark! Haha
Best
moment this week: Being able to finally relax without any
obligations or stress about upcoming events.
Miss
Anything? Oh yes, but the list could go on. Let’s just say I am ready to get back
to pre-pregnancy.
Movement: All the
time! She is running out of room, so therefore I feel every little movement,
jab, hiccup, etc. The only time I mind her movement is when she decides to
slide up in my ribs (which for whatever reason, she loves to do when it’s time
for me to sleep.. ugh).
Food
cravings: Still no cravings.. I have been eating a ton of fruit and froyo sounds
amazing all the time, but that is simply because it is summer. I don’t
specifically HAVE to HAVE something.
Anything
making you queasy or sick: No, thankfully feeling pretty good when it
comes to queasiness or anything like that.
Gender: Girl, so
we hope! I was just thinking, “Oh my gosh, how awful would it be if they were
wrong!” I mean, it wouldn’t be awful, but I am totally prepared for a girl
named Tegan to come!
Labor
Signs: None yet. 5 more weeks of cooking to do, give or take.
Symptoms: Horrible
sleep some nights, rib pain, heel pain in my foot, occasional headache.
Belly
Button in or out? Still in. The skin between where my belly button
piercing was is soo tight too! Ick.
Wedding
rings on or off? On; I am really surprised how little swelling I
have been having.
Happy or
Moody most of the time: Pretty happy during the day, a little more
moody at night if I am uncomfortable.
Looking
forward to: Shopping for Fall baby clothes! J
