35 weeks

Ugh. Uncomfortable.
I honestly don't remember being this uncomfortable at this point with the other two boys but maybe I was. The worst part is I'm struggling to sit for very long which makes work difficult. I've got a little over 4 weeks left, one month from Monday. My dad is keeping the boys this weekend so I can get some much needed cleaning and baby prep done. Jason and I are of course going to have a little date night Saturday night and thoroughly enjoy sleeping in on Sunday. I'm excited for my Dad too, he's been wanting to keep them for some time and I think Beckett's finally old enough to stay and not be too big of a pain for Grandpa and Melissa.
Everything has been going well so far. Blood pressure has been good, baby has been active and his heart rate is good. Swelling is eh...keeping it at bay for the most part but my legs and ankles are definitely swollen. Weight gain is ok. Teetering on the edge of being too much but I'm pretty much all belly. I've been to the chiropractor a few times which is definitely helping with me lower back. Still sleeping very well, thankfully. And belly has most definitely dropped!
Week 34
Week 35 - belly noticeably lower!

Next week I start weekly dr appts. My Braxton Hicks are starting to get harder and slightly painful. We are on the down hill slide for sure! Trying to rest and enjoy the sleep as much as possible before he gets here.

Romping In The Bluebonnets

This weekend was our weekend in Texas for J's buddy's wedding. So, J, j, Gemma and myself all loaded up, and we drove down Thursday night (overnight) to BCS to spend some time with J's family too. I, of course, have never been down to Texas in the spring, but the wildflowers are GORGEOUS, especially the bluebonnets. It just looks like they exploded all over the country side! They were everywhere. J's mom wanted us all to take some pictures in the bluebonnets so we drove out to the side of a road in the middle of wherever and took some pics. They turned out great. It was quite entertaining to get the kiddos (J's nieces were there too) to cooperate and the puppy, not to mention J's mom losing her balance to kneel down with her grandbabies . And she had to wrangle all three kids and a puppy to take J & I's pic together...God bless her. It was NOT easy. Ha! The most adorable picture of them all was of my little baby girl: How precious is this picture?...

29 Weeks

Here I am at 29 weeks exactly. I'm at +24 lbs which is a little higher than I would like, but after a week of crappy eating on vacation, I won't complain too much. My blood pressure is good and just got word that I passed my glucose test. Yay! My emotions get the better of me a lot this pregnancy, but I don't know if its all pregnancy related or if some of it is just me trying to work through a lot of emotional issues - either way, trying to hold it together some days has been rough. I just wish I was able to enjoy being pregnant...but alas, its just not meant to be. Trying to enjoy it as much as possible, all the little kicks and wiggles and special time with Beckett. Also, trying very hard to stay focused on eating healthy and walking as much as I can, although, I can't walk far anymore without the belly cramping. Still trying to keep from gaining that 50 lbs like I did last time ;) Beckett is extremely active, and according to the baby center emails I get, he...

27 Weeks

Here we all are...me, Baby A, and my squishy puffy cheeks. Fabulous, non?! So, obviously I'm feeling a little less cute these days, not all my weight is in my belly anymore. Eh, I only semi have an issue with it. Its only going to get worse and I should just enjoy this only time in my life where chubby + pot belly = cute. Overall, I'm feeling really good. I've been fighting fatigue off and on again, but nothing like I was during the first trimester. I'm amazed at how fast the second trimester has gone and can't believe this is my last week! I am very ready for #3 although I also know that means I can wave bye-bye to the feeling great and say hello to feeling extra bloated and uncomfortable. The swelling has definitely started. My feet and legs are fat, fat, FAT at the end of the day and I can feel it in my hands a little some days too. The little man is going CRAZY in my belly! I can't tell if he's practicing to become a gymnast or an MMA fighter. He's d...
