Almost there!

Week 37

Weeks 34, 35, 36

Week 34



Week 35
Love the little creeper on the right hand side of the screen


Week 36
wanted in the picture after he asked 'whatchou doin mommy'


Almost there! Next week i'll be considered full term so any point after that i'm good to go. And at this point i'd say i'm ready. Pretty sure i'm much bigger than i was with Zach and its just becoming very tough on my back and legs. I'm home from work most days at this point but i think i'm close to calling it quits there as well. Lots of back pain and lots of pressure. the end is near!

Weeks 31-33

Week 31


Week 32


Week 33


I seemed to have dropped recently, others have pointed it out too. Doc still says things are going find...did a test last week to see what the chances were of labor coming within the next 2 weeks and it came back negative...so thats good news for now! next appt is the 6th then they're down to one week after that! up to 155 lbs...thats 31 lbs...already past my goal...ugh. oh well. maybe i'll stick to it next time :D

Weeks 29 and 30

Week 29...the week when people stopped saying 'you dont even look pregnant from behind'. hahaha



Week 30...Yep...30!!! Next week i'll be in single digits...crazy...my 2 week appts also started which is exciting...still at home two days a week which is nice, but very tough to manage 18 people from my couch. Kind of easier to be in the office but nice to not have to find clothes that fit :D

Had my sugar test done and all was well...still having the normal contractions pretty much throughout the whole day, but doing what I can to avoid bringing them on myself. Definitely carrying lower this time and the belly seems MUCH bigger, further proven by the additional stretch marks already...but all in all its been great so far!

updates...

Little creepo from sonogram on Thursday...all seems good...baby weighs about 2.5 lbs and is in the 50th percentile so right on track...

Weeks 23, 24

Had some visitors and lots of fun activities to enjoy the fall...doc appt tomorrow should tell if i've done too much! we'll see if bedrest is in the future again!

Week 23

Week 24

I think my favorite parts of these weeks have been the comments, specifically at work...people just crack me up. Two instances are the mail guy from our building, in which we had the following exchange:

Mail Guy: Not much longer huh?

Me: Well...a couple months still, little more than half way there

Mail Guy: Months? I thought weeks!

Me: no, *laughing* - couple months

Mail Guy: well thats right, you were big with your first one too

Me: ok well have a nice day!

Second exchange with cafeteria lady:

Caf Lady: So when exactly ARE you due???

Me: *laughing* February

Caf Lady: Are you sure???

Me: yep

Caf Lady: well i mean you're all belly so its ok

Me: ok well have a nice day! (while thinking in my head nice attempt to cover up haha)

I love people.

Also had a woman at Target walk by and just tell me randomly that i was having a boy. nothing else was said, she didnt slow down, just told me i was having a boy and kept on moving.

been a fun couple weeks :D

20, 21, 22

Can't believe we're more than half way there already. Hate that it goes so fast :(

Contractions pretty much daily, nothing too intense...trying to take it easy and although Todd is great and doing everything in his power to make me relax, its really hard to not play with the little punk so it should be an entertaining next few months!
