Needless to say many things have been put on the back burner while working overtime, figuring out moving to Iowa, preparing for baby and such. If I have failed to return calls, texts, or emails I am sorry...life is moving very quickly right now. Here are some pics I took on my phone and have finally transferred to my computer:
 |
| Week 29ish. I decided it was time to retire the belt till post-pregnancy when people kept asking me if I wore it for back support......no, no I don't but I got the hint. |

| Week 33. Way to grow Baby! |
 |
| Week 35. Feeling....big. |
According to my pregnancy app Baby is the size of a coconut. Um, whoever made that random fact up I want to shove a coconut up their butt. There is no way this baby is just the size of a freakin' coconut. Maybe all the rockin' and rollin' he likes to do that magnifies his size. Who knows. What am I talking about, I know! I KNOW he is bigger than that.
"Pressure": I've started to feel cramps every few days. I believe when there's a baby in your uterus you call them contractions, but they feel exactly like cramps right now. Every few nights or so I feel this piercing pain from my belly button to my pubic bone. It only lasts 15 seconds or so and I've only felt two in a row. I'm not sure what that is. It kind of feels like Baby is pulling on my belly button cord from the inside (is there a belly button cord? I've always imagined there is...). Either way I'm glad my body is prepping, cause I'm ready whenever he is :)
Cray-Cray: I have hormones. In large supply. I feel many things very passionately and tear up often. My husband is an angel for being tender and understanding.
Advice: Advice to all you un-pregnant people out there: never ever ever ever say "Aren't you due any day now?" Because you are in the danger zone when you ask that. No! I'm not due any day now! I'm due in 33 days, but who's counting?....me. I'm counting. Other questions that I get in large supply are "When are you due?", "Is it a boy or girl", "Have you picked a name yet". I should start taking a tally of how many times I get asked that question in a day, sometimes by the same people.
Non-baby related news:
-We have rented our moving truck, set the moving date (August 3rd) and are very close to having an apartment finalized!
-Austin received another small scholarship he had applied for last year. Every little bit helps!
-I finally bought a couch cover for our lovely grandma couch. Mixed feelings about how long that is going to stay.
Sarcasm aside I am very excited to have this baby. To have a name for this baby! And to step into (more like shoved into) a new phase of life for our family!
