This weeks mess of a photo is brought to you by an 8 1/2 month preggo that thinks an hour kickboxing class is still a good idea! LOL
Maternity clothes? Ummm yeah….90% of the time. When I am still able to rock a pre-maternity anything piece the squeal that comes out of me causes my dog, Zoey, to join in – it’s quite a comical part of our morning routine! It’s funny I was thinking back about the early weeks of my pregnancy and when I first bought maternity clothes at 19 weeks – then I was a ‘dabbler’, now I would consider myself a ‘full time subscriber’! LOL
Stretch marks? Nope – I have been blessed by Mimi on many levels! J
Sleep? No complaints – it’s still hard in those first few minutes of trying to get cozy but once I fall into that sleep pattern I’m good. That is until I (briefly) wake up and have to enter my ‘turtle mode’ to switch sides – this takes me about 5 minutes to do: first minute; thinking about the motions and dreading them, minutes 2-3; performing the actual ‘flip’, minute 4; getting cozy on the new side/new position, minute 5; getting back into REM…. J
Best moment this week? A couple…. 1) 34 week check up – things are looking great and I am loving the midwife that I have been seeing lately – fingers and toes crossed that she’s the one that shows up on the big day! 2) We are nesting people! Made 5 great meals to freeze with my girlfriend, Sarah, which will start the freezer dinner stock pile for 2013! 3) My work threw Baby Laws the most amazing baby shower! It was so great and made me (and Bill) feel super blessed. It makes me feel good to know that the people I work with are not just co-workers, but great friends too! I can NOT wait to bring Baby Laws into the office so he/she can meet them! J
Movement? OMG…this baby is ca-razzzy! He/she certainly favors the (my) right side of my belly – the other nite he/she was so snuggled up to that side, it caused my belly to completely slant over that way! It was pretty crazy to see and I wish I would have snapped a pic of it.
Miss anything? I miss being able to sit through ANYTHING and not have to excuse myself to visit my new bestie, the bathroom. I swear on some days I walk out the bathroom and then am right back in there within in 15-20 minutes! I’m also missing some adult beverages – what I wouldn’t give for a Miller Lite, Blue Moon – with orange of course, coffee (with caffeine) and Baily’s & Kahlua….
Food cravings? None – cravings are for the birds!
Exercise? I have been bad the last 2 weeks and haven’t done any extra exercise except for walking around while at work –my walk to and from the car is pretty long and I try to take the stairs whenever possible but it’s getting harder to make it up more than one flight without having to catch my breath! I hope to get back to the gym next week!
Gender? When we know, you’ll know! J
Symptoms? Ugh – SWOLLEN feet! 2 days this week these feet were outta control – I wouldn’t have been able to fit my sneakers on and go for a walk if I wanted to! I have since added a 4th pillow to the my side of the bed down by my feet so that I can ‘attempt’ to keep them elevated throughout the nite to cut down on the swelling.
Rings on or off? One would think that if I’ve got crazy swollen feet I would be experiencing the same effect on my hands. This is certainly NOT the case – my fingers are fine and my rings are still on each and every day – still off at nite for just in case purposes…
Heels or flats? I think that I might just have to retire the heels for this last month and a half….although I will certainly try them on when an outfit insists! Most days I’m planning my outfit around what shoe I can fit on my feet… LOL
Belly button in or out? Flat as a pancake!
Mood - happy or moody most of the time? I’m still one happy momma. Don’t get me wrong – I still experience the occasional breakdown but I haven’t had a single thing to complain about and I’ll be damned if I start now!
Looking forward to? We’ve got furniture people! Just got the word hours before posting this weeks blog and I’m soooo super excited to get it in and set up in the baby’s room. I literally wanted to leave work as soon as I got off the phone and pick up the furniture myself! I can’t wait to get everything organized and show off the finished room! J
