June 2015

Last minute picture because I will be 36 weeks tomorrow…so pajamas and picture in front of a fan it is!

How far along: 35 Weeks

Maternity clothes: I can’t fit into some of my maternity clothes now…so long awesome maternity jeans (until after baby when I still look like I am pregnant). As soon as we get an actual paycheck, I am ordering a Bellefit…they look kind of cool to use!

Stretch marks: I thought I saw stretch marks coming in…but so far I am safe. I thought it was funny that when I give Olivia lotion, she immediately starts putting it on her belly. I think she is watching me a little too closely. Ha ha

Sleep: Not cool. Mainly because I can’t breathe laying straight down, so I sit up a lot. I move around the house at night because I get Charlie horses too.

Best moment this week: Celebrating Father’s Day and realizing it is Mike’s last time being a dad to one kid!

Miss anything: Mike went up to Cloudcroft to ride with his friends and I admit I cried when I said goodbye to him. A lot of people don’t even know I really like to mountain bike and road bike and that I raced. I miss running, racing, biking…believe it or not, I used to do it and PLAN on doing it soon.

Morning sickness: No. I just really don’t like to eat a lot now, and especially certain foods. What kind you say? It depends on what day it is.

Movement: I’m now at the point where I am actually counting how many times he kicks, just to make sure he is okay. He dropped and moved his position. He hurts me a lot by getting into my ribs. Today he was way over on my left side, so I was super lop-sided.

Food cravings:Definitely not as hungry at night. I do crave BBQ a lot and have since the beginning of this pregnancy. I BBQ at least once a week now that it’s summer, so it helps with my cravings!

Anything making you queasy or sick: No more eggs for me, and I am really sick of toast and sandwiches.

Have you started to show yet: I went through the grocery line today and the lady told me I looked like I was about to bust!

Gender prediction: Our last ultrasound definitely showed the boy parts!

Labor signs: I kind of overdid it last Wednesday when I worked out and went swimming in the same day. I had major back pain that night and was so scared I was going into early labor. It stopped by noon the next day…thank goodness.

Belly button in or out: If it could be out, it would.

Wedding rings on or off: Off.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Tired. Mainly because Olivia decided to turn into the devil this week ( I miss my sweet kid!). She really can make or break your day with her attitude.

Looking forward to: The next few weekends. It’s weird we only have a few weekends left and we have been planning them all out to make sure we use them wisely before he comes!! Also, we get another ultrasound next week because he is such a big boy and so they can monitor him. That should be pretty cool.

How far along: 33 Weeks

Maternity clothes: This is the point where I want to go into hiding. Mainly because I don’t have anything to wear so I walk around in pajama pants and Mike’s t shirts at home. I wish I could wear long flowy dresses every day of my life. I refuse to buy any more maternity clothes. Most of the stuff I have will fit post pregnancy, just not in the “about to bust” phase. I did manage to “squeeze” into a bathing suit this week and go swimming.

Stretch marks: No. Just dimples on my legs. Come on skin! Hang in there!!!

Sleep: I sleep mainly on my left side at night, but then eventually end up sleeping sitting up. I have to lay with one or both arms above my head to lengthen out my torso so I can actually breathe. I’ve had a hard time breathing this week…and it’s not from being out of shape. When just sitting and doing nothing, I feel like I am suffocating.

Best moment this week: I washed all of his clothes and set up his drawers with his pajamas and onesies. It’s neat to think he will be wearing all this stuff I have.

Raising his fist in fury!!

Miss anything: Like I said in the previous post, being pregnant in the summer is not fun when you like to play. I really do miss laying on my stomach. I love to lay on it and snuggle with a pillow. I will be looking forward to that! I really miss doing ab workouts at the gym too.

Morning sickness: Not really. I just have a few food aversions now where I don’t like being around certain foods like eggs and chicken.

Movement: He moves a lot! I love to see my stomach move like an ocean. He seems to move more during the day, which I am hoping is a good sign of things to come (meaning: he likes to sleep at night) !

Food cravings:I’m not as hungry as I was a couple of weeks ago. I think a lot of it is that I ran out of room. I eat big lunches and then really small dinners.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Eggs, leftover chicken, microwave meals, mushy apples

It is definitely a boy. He he

Have you started to show yet: I lie about my due date and tell people I only have a couple more weeks and they still give me a hard time!

Gender prediction: Boy. Did any of you guys check a Chinese calender for the gender of your baby? Mine was dead on for both. Not that I am into that stuff but my ultrasound tech told me about it and had me all curious when I was pregnant with Olivia.

Labor signs: I had my first set of Braxton-Hicks this week. Other than that, nothing.

Belly button in or out: If it could be out, it would.

Wedding rings on or off: Off.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Can I say sleepy? All I do is sleep lately. I’ve been taking some naps during the day and it’s been awesome.

Looking forward to: Taking time out the next five or six weekends to live it up before my life turns into baby jail again.
