Week 34: All ready!?

So, I had to laugh today....I get this weekly pregnancy update on my email....You know, the kind where they tell you what size of fruit your baby is comparable too.

Ya....That is the one.

Anyway. This week it said, "now that your hospital bag is packed, the baby's diapers have been bought, and the nursery is decorated....Its time to get ready to have the baby!"

Om. Did all that with Braxton....And even Alexa by this time. But with this baby....None of these things have even crossed my mind. Poor kid. Hopefully at least we will remember to take a few pictures of her during her first year of life. We took sooo many pictures with Braxton, but with Alexa, we hardly have enough to make a decent size photo album.

Pregnancy and life is soo different with the 3rd.

Week 33: False Alarm

The title does not mean the obvious. I would be a little more frazzled if it was. I need this baby to come when the due date says she is going to come....And not a day sooner.

The title actually refers to the never ending topic of the potty.

The more I get prego, the more I have to go.

Sometimes I have to go so bad I feel like my eyes are turning yellow.

But, with as bad as I have to go....I fail during the release. I hardly go! I have all this anticipation, with nothing but a huge let down during the performance.

Last night I was out with a friend and did NOT want to leave during the middle of the movie to go to the bathroom. I held it to the point were I was ready to cry, but once I made it to the bathroom, I only produced a cup full.

URG!!!!!!!!!

SOOOOOO ANNOYING!

Weel 32: Sleepless Nights

So, I hate unwanted advice like, "eat it up now, because they grow up fast" or "enjoy life, because once you have three, its nothing but chaos"....

Anyway....

Another piece of advice that is driving me crazy is... "Sleep now because you're going to wish you could sleep once the baby comes."

First...I already have two kids thank you very much....Second...I already can't sleep.

Don't get me wrong....I am very appreciative of when the baby kicks. I know how important that is...And I do not want this to come across like I am ungrateful to be prego and everything in pregnancy is bad....But this certain situation has been a struggle.

MY BABY KICKS ALL NIGHT!

Its really hard to sleep. My other babies kicked like crazy....Just like everyone else....But this one does not quit! I am convinced this little girl has ADD liker her mother!

Last night I was up until 1am because it was hard to sleep with my insides, including my ribs, being in a boxing rink.

The nighttime bathroom trips have hardly been an issue compared to this. Like I said in my last pregnancy, going to the bathroom is kinda an art by the third trimester. At this point, if I need to go to the bathroom, I do not even need to turn on a light, or even watch were I step! I have the path to the bathroom completely memorized. And it has gotten to the point where I can go back to bed and continue the dream I was having before the potty break.

So, basically my sleepless nights has to do with a restless baby!!!! Poor thing...She is probably couped up in there and wanting to stretch!

Week 31: Majorly Behind

Ok...I am majorly behind. I will be 33 weeks as of Thursday, so I need to catchup.

Nesting. Holy cow am I nesting.

I think the majority of the reason why I am nesting so badly this pregnancy is because of the current situation I am in....Nevertheless....My house has never been cleaner, my closets have never been so organized, and I am finally starting to carry a calendar! I have each day planned out so I can find time to nest even more.

What makes matters worse is that I love the clean smell of bleach....I have to clean with bleach because of Braxton....But, now I find myself cleaning and re cleaning so my house smells like bleach consistently (doctor said it was fine people)...So anyone who has come into my house gets a major whiff.

Even Fenway has had to deal with the nesting stage. I am tired of the hair, so I brush and rebush him every night. He now runs when he see's the brush.

All in all....I am nesting....But very happy!
