EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT! Almost there, y'all. Feeling ROUGH. Like, so rough. Nauseous, dizzy, so sore, etc. You might say I have the very-pregnant-blues. Trying to "keep busy" while also kind of trying not to be busy, because it physically hurts to be busy. So, here we are. Riding it out!
Decorating Easter eggs!
Exploring Dad's shoes.
Look at this sweet face.
All dressed up for Easter!
Church smiles!
Tantrums. The struggle is real.
Snuggled up for pizza movie Friday!
All kinds of organization happening here. It's exhausting!
...but a big part of the organization was getting this girl into her big girl bed! This process has been...rocky, to say the least. But we're on our way!
My biggest, snuggled up with my littlest! How I treasure these moments!
Look at my budding artist!
Swinging into Spring!
Piggy back rides!
So yeah, this is where we're at. I've been leaning on my mom and Tim a lot these days because I am really physically limited. I can't even really take the kids to the park, because I can't move well enough to be able to safely watch them all. And we still have FIVE+ WEEKS TO GO. Sheesh! Still, I love every baby wiggle and I am treasuring the magic of pregnancy before it's gone and I am missing it. We love you, Babes. We are getting SO EXCITED TO MEET YOU!
To that effect, still not sure when that is happening! I had my OB appt. last Friday and my OB was unclear if the MFM doc said that he did not want me delivering past 38 weeks (this is what I heard), or if I was okay to deliver between 38-39 weeks. So I am waiting on clarification there. Either way, the clock is winding down and I can't believe it. We knocked out our big room switcheroo (moving Maevie in with the big girls and into a big girl bed, and switching Lila to Maeve's room...which hasn't physically happened yet, but all of her stuff has been moved!) and seasonal clothing swap / gender neutral baby clothing put-away, so that is a relief. Next obstacle is finding a CAR, which has been haunting me for weeks. We really, really need a 12-passenger van moving forward, but Tim and I have locked horns over it and I'm not sure where we will land. Prayers appreciated!
Until then, here's some bump-age!
Easter bump (and a dirty mirror)!
A rare bare bump, and chaos behind me (plus my RX for a UTI...pregnancy perks!
How far along? 32w+1!
Clothing? Into the "favorite hits" phase. Wash, wear, repeat.
Sleep? Exhausted. So many pee breaks. So many Braxont-Hicks at night. So nauseous, etc. The list goes on!
Best moment of this week? Cleaning lady coming tomorrow! Wahoo!
Worst moment of this week? Finding out that my husband is traveling for 3 days next week. Also, the bedtime thing with Maeve has been exhausting!
Miss anything? Wine :)
Movement? SO MUCH. So many hard kicks and rolls. Love it, even when some of it is painful!
Symptoms? So many. Super dizzy, super nauseous, bad GI stuff, UTI this week, sciatica, bad back pain, terrible round ligament pain, sooooo many Braxton Hicks, just...rough!
Food cravings? Grapes and lemonade this week!
Gender? Still playing with the boy idea, haha!
Labor Signs? Nope!
Belly button in or out? That charming innie/outie that comes with many c-sections and a stretched out belly.
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Mood? This week, blessed and stressed. ALWAYS more blessed, but the stress is getting the better of me currently!
Looking forward to? 33 week appt.! Scheduling baby's birthday! 36 week ultrasound!!! BABY!!!!!!!
So excited ..
