the end is near

i'm guessing still 5 maybe 6 weeks just for good measure though, but i can use all the "on time" baby vibes i can get right now. :)

i'm just about 36 weeks. yay, but really doesn't mean much for me.

evelyn 10 days overdue-induced
amelia 5 days overdue-induced

i don't want to get induced this time. so we will see what happens. i'm just hoping that since its the third and a boy, things will be different.


How far along? 36 weeks(close enough!)
Maternity clothes? a lot of the clothes i wear aren't maternity, but really i have just a few things that fit right now. most are pajamaish. so you'll see me rotate those few things and in my pajamas. :)
Sleep: i've been sleeping okay. obviously getting up in the middle of the night. but i've actually had a few good nights of long stretches of sleep. it's been nice.
Best moment this week: i didn't slap someone when they touched my belly. i did tell them to not touch me, and they got the picture with the look i gave them. :)
Miss Anything? being able to do pretty much anything without losing my breath.
Movement: he's been rolling around and having a party all the time. i have noticed at night he actually stops, so lets keep it up baby.
Food cravings: bananas and peanut butter
Anything making you queasy or sick: no i ended that a long time ago. thank heavens
Labor Signs: true labor, no. but i'm okay with him cooking as long as he needs too. i've been having a lot of braxton hicks so i'm excited about that.
Wedding rings on or off? if i wore it then yes it would still fit. my fingers don't swell as much as my feet do.
Happy or Moody most of the time: happyish. its hard to stay happy all the time when you are uncomfortable 24hrs a day.
Looking forward to: the baby shower festivities, my next dr appointment (the 7th) i'll get an ultrasound and see how this little one is growing, and getting the book i ordered, ida may's guide to natural childbirth. exciting things woot!!

sick

when the momma is sick. everything pretty much shuts down.

i'm going on a week of being sick and i just want to punch a baby deer. i am so over it!

dear doctor guy

-yes i can get plenty of fluids. i drink a gallon of water a day already.

-yes i can only take tylenol. no brainer.

-extra rest you say? uhhhhh what is rest?

-oh so you are saying i could be sick for another week. you may want to walk away now before i find a sharp object and stab you with it.

when babies grow up.

This is what your child looks like when they are little and helpless. Adorable little baby. This is Evelyn, when she was a sweet little babe.

 

 

 

 

This is what happens when your sweet little babe keeps growing right before your eyes and you can't stop it from happening.

 

 



 

 

I now have a 5 year old child. They grow up so flippin fast. It is sad but i am actually kinda relieved about that at the same time too. 

 

Things this 5 year old is looking forward too this year and talks about every day.

 

-starting kindergarten in the fall

-baby brother being born

 

yep besides it finally being her birthday she is looking forward to those two things! She can not wait for both! I'm excited to see her be a big BIG sister, and be a big BIG school girl.

 

I love this girl.  She is difficult and stubborn but she is so fun and full of life and cracks me up multiple times every day with the funny things that she says.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MISS EVELYN!! LOVE YOU SWEETIE!

 

and i'm sorry you are so sick on your birthday. :( we'll make the best of the day regardless! lets celebrate!
