Well we’re down to the end!! 7 days. One week.  Hard to believe! Now we’re just hoping and praying she makes her arrival this week sometime! The contractions have been pretty intense all week and we’ve had a couple times we thought we might be off to the hospital but no such luck.  Getting pretty tired, miserable and uncomfortable.  Ahhh the joys of pregnancy. Come soon little one!!

39 Weeks

Any day now…any day now.  I just keep telling myself that

38 Weeks

I’ve had some people asking to see pictures of Baby Girl’s Nursery, so I thought I would post some.  We aren’t completely done with it yet, but close.  On the pink & black striped wall behind her crib, we’re going to do her name but since it’s a secret that can’t go up yet!! I’m also planning to hang an electric guitar on the wall between the crib and changing table but haven’t found the perfect one yet.

Living in SoCal, we have a pretty small home and the nursery is really tiny. So we had to make do with the space we had.  I think we did a pretty good job of making things fit, and hopefully someday we’ll have a much bigger room for her to grow with!

Here it is…the nursery for our little Rockstar!!

I can’t wait to have our little girl here in just a couple weeks!!!

We made it!!!!! FULL TERM!!! I would be more than happy to kick this kid out of Hotel KK any day now.  I’m exhausted. I’m tired.  I’m done. So come on baby girl…come see us soon!

37 Weeks

February 12th.  I really thought this day would never come. It’s officially my last day of work for 3 1/2 months!!!! Yippeeeeeeeeee!! I am so excited to be able to take the next few weeks to rest and really prepare for Baby Girl to arrive.  I keep hoping she comes early to put me out of my misery, but I also wouldn’t be opposed to having the full 4 weeks to just rest.

This week our doctor told us that she thinks we’ll have a smaller baby just from her judgment, and I’m really hoping for about a 7 pounder.  As long as she’s not walking out as a toddler then I’ll be fine All is going great with baby, and we seem to be right on track! The contractions are really keeping my body busy and exhausted, but also it’s good that my body is already preparing. Only 4 weeks to go!

36 Weeks

Wow…only 5 weeks until my due date.  I really can’t believe we’ve made it this far! I’ve been feeling a lot of contractions over the last week, some of which have really freaked me out. Some of which are probably just gas.  Who knows. Part of me hopes this means my little angel will come a couple weeks early, but I’m really praying she stays in there until she’s fully cooked and ready to come out. I’ve been telling her everyday that her birthday is March 5th, so maybe a month from today she’ll listen and decide it’s time

I really think the camera does put on 10 pounds, because I don’t think I look this big in person. Oh well. Here you go anyway, because I promised to do this until the end. As frightening as it may be.

35 Weeks

I’m a good sleeper.  Ok… a GREAT sleeper.  I have slept through my neighbor’s house catching on fire and firetrucks. I’ve slept through MANY thunderstorms (in Oklahoma of course, California doesn’t know what those things are). My dog can jump all over me and nothing. I’m out. My hubby enjoys this because a lot of the time I will chat with him and never realize it happened.

I had worried a bit that I wouldn’t hear my babies cry in the middle of the night, and would be a bad mother because I’m such a hard sleeper. Everyone tells me my sleeping habits will quickly change once I’m a mommy, and I do hope this is the case.

However, this child is already preparing me.  As I lay here awake at 3am because it’s “playtime”, I can’t help but cherish these moments.  Yes, I will be tired all day and a little annoyed that I didn’t get my 8 hours straight. But, these last few weeks I get to rest. Yes, I’m very uncomfortable, finding it hard to sleep and our little kickboxer is the most active baby of all time.  Yes, I hate being pregnant and can’t wait to be done.  BUT…this is the last few weeks of me. Just me. I have no little ones crying, having bad dreams or needing mommy in the middle of the night yet.  I just lay here and feel her roll and kick. What a blessing that is.

Keep kicking baby girl.  Mommy will sleep when you’re all grown up.

I’m am stuck at home today not feeling well and there is no way I’m taking a picture of myself in the current state I’m in (nasty hair in bun, hubby’s sweatpants & t-shirt, no makeup….you get the picture).

So here is an example of how big I am:

Ok…maybe not THAT big. But sure feels that way!

Our baby girl is approx. 4.75 pounds and around 18 inches long.  She’s basically the size of a cantaloupe for those of you that understand the fruit comparisons. I still don’t get it.

As soon as I’m feeling better, I will post an actual picture! But hooray…we’re 34 weeks today. 6 Weeks to go!!

Yikes….

33 Weeks!

Today the hubby and I take off on a little mini vacation to enjoy our last little bit of time together alone before the baby arrives! I’ll be taking a little break from the world, but I’ll be back Tuesday to tell you all about our amazing trip!

Yup…and I’m as big as a house. And look like I haven’t slept in weeks. Ahhhh the joys of pregnancy….

32 Weeks!
