2 days shy of 35 weeks

OK WHAT THE HECKKKK! ok so braxton hicks have set in. 2 days prior to 35 weeks and ouch! they are here all day long and have woken me up in the middle of the night. I thought that hey one day of these no prob, but now the second day in a row and yes they are uncomfortable and annoying but I know that they are not the real thing. But I have so much on my plate at work that I really don't have time for the oh my I can't walk or stand up during one. And I have so many meetings all day where I need to focus that it is slightly frustrating. Oh well I have an appt on Friday so maybe he will do an ultrasound so we can see what this crazy girl is doing in there. I swear she wants out now! Remember being younger and being sent to bed but yet you could hear all the fun stuff still happening out there??? Well I think thats her she is like I know you are having fun and I want to play too. Hopefully she will wait 5 weeks and hopefully by the time we get there I'm a total pro with all the practice I'm currently getting :) Well just wanted to keep everyone posted on the crazy fun we are having and hopefully Friday I will get to report how big Dr. Capetankis thinks she is and if we are progressing with these fun things or if they really are just practice pains. Check back soon :)

week 34

So this week has been tough my energy is sooo low and everything hurts! My feet hurt my hips hurt and when i walk I feel like my groin is going to pull. It has definitely hit that time where I want her out. I want to be able to have someone else hold her for a moment. I wish I could take my belly off put it down to wash the dishes and then put it back on. I have the hardest time doing little things like washing the dishes or vaccuming. I have too much pulling me forward and then the little bugger gets under my ribs so when I lean forward to do anything like tie my shoes it feels like I'm dislocating a rib.

So this weekend Lindsay finally got to feel her move not any crazy big movements but little ones and then the hiccups which she has constantly. But I was just happy that she felt her at all especially because it wasn't the crack of dawn or super late at night. so I'm glad she got to feel something. so we got my registry updated, had a great lunch and shopped until I felt like my feet were 3 sizes bigger and depressed at the fact that nothing fit! Ugh I really wanted to find something super adorable for Vday but I guess rummaging through the closet will have to do. Anywho so we have a great time hanging out and its just so nice to have her to myself. We are both so busy especially now with her new job that it really is nice getting some girl time with no kids and no ringing phones :)

Yesterday was Valentines and my hunny and I had the best day. we woke up late then I took a nap and then he made me waffles and then we took B for a walk. Got home showered and off we went for a few hours of shopping, I found a great shower dress even though at this point I just feel huge because dresses just drape on you and you probably look ten times larger then you are. So anywho got a dress, came home and got ready for an amazing dinner. This is the "last" Vday without a child so I was going to get all sex'd up for the event. i didn't care what everyone else might be wearing I was going to look sexy! So I got out one of my dresses that I love!!!! put it one with some hot little black and gold stilletos and strutted my stuff to the resturaunt. Now we went to Pacific Coast Grill a pretty nice restaurant with an amazing vibe and people were in there wearing crap! I was shocked that people just came from I don't know the gym... anywho so here I walk in feeling sexy and huge and I walked past everyone like I owned the night. And you know what we were the best looking couple in there and I was so happy that for our last VDay we rocked it! Any who so we started with Merlot for J and a Cran and Sprite for me, the most amazing artichoke heart button stuffed with hickory pulled pork and then I had an amazing seabass and J had a Filet. So So yummy and for desert we had brownies with bruleed (sp?) banana's fresh fruit and ice cream perfect ending to a wonderful day. Then to top it off we got home put on our pj's and fell asleep (my most favorite thing these days)

Anywho amazing week and I can't wait for our Friday Dr appt. Every Friday at 4 these days will be spent with the two men in my life these days Dr. Capetankis.

week 32/33

Email written to my mom (notice the time)

Wed, February 3, 2010 2:33:25 AM

Subject: Nightlife of a soon to be mommyNext blog...maybe

So as I sit here at 215am I reflect on my night. Went to bed at 830 woke at 1130 to p and again at 100am clock time aka 1245am real time and now I lay here listening to the deep slow breaths of my slumbering husband. Thinking how lovely it would be to sleep so soundly that u don't feel the constant toss and turn and getting out of bed wife. Oh and did I mention the fact that my mind is racing of things to do today once I'm really awake or delirious at work, so I write myswlf an email of things to accomplish before my head crashes to my desk. And then it starts to race about hmm maybe I should p again so if I fall asleep (yeah right) I will get a few hours in. But first I'm thirsty so up we go to get some nice ice cold apple juice,yum. P, lay in bed and oh crap sugar! Babies now awake and loving the sugar damn and really is that my dog snoring? Do I have a sign that says please rub it in folks "I don't sleep". I find it interesting in baby books how it talks about ligaments stretching and how u will now be clummsy um or maybe ur so delirious u no longer see straight so walls really do move I think that's a more accurate accessment. So anywho babies awake mind racing so let's move to the couch and write the next blog at 2 something in the morning. Why move to the couch bc I feel bad the typing might wake the oh so peaceful dog and husband. Sheesh I should wake them up at least then I won't be sitting here alone in the dark typing away on the crackberry. Oh well my lovely nightlife oh and before I leave I must say why oh why now do I get a headache like the delirium isn't enough thanks baby jesse for preparing me for your arrival but honestly we still have 7 weeks couldn't you chill out until the last 2? And my dr wonders why I'm a ragin b word on occassion hmm yeah I'm tired I'm probably hungry and I breathe like I ran a marathon getting out of bed! Oh and speaking of hunger so last night I guess it was now I'm starving so I have an apple walk the dog come home eat a rolled taco and I'm stuffed are you kinding! I'm starving and a rolled taco fills me up, dang kid we need to talk bc when there is good mexican food and salsa on the table mama wants to eat and you position yourself right there on my stomach... Not cool!

Anywho sneak peak into my nightlife hope urs was betterA

week 31

ok so i have officially moved into ready mode/ freaking out mode. I am ready for her to be here so that i can see her but freaking out because are we ready? well ready or not only 9 more weeks!!! Well Sat we had a wonderful girls weekend and I got to see miss Jillian who is tiny and adorable and all belly! I felt like a prego train everytime we went potty together (hehe potty) I love being with other prego girls I just wish I had someone as big as me. I know I'm not huge and I'm caring all in the belly blah blah blah but honestly can I get 1 person out there that is due the same day or later who is bigger than me. Whatever enough with the whinning. So we all had an amazing lunch talking about sex, love and rock n roll well maybe not rock n roll but we covered pretty much everything possible and had an amazing time doing it. I love getting together with the ladies. Here are some pics of Jill and I together showing the belly love! Oh and ok so I had a dr appt where we tried to do a 4d but little miss A likes to push her face against my placenta (sounds kinda funny i know) so there is no fluid to have the sono waves pick up her features. So no cutie pics...but we are officially 35 lbs which I am actually good with. I mean lets be honest I would gain 80 lbs if thats what I have to do to have a healthy happy baby girl. So I'm taking it all and enjoying it. Another thing I'm trying to enjoy is...my mommy marks thats right I got them and I love every one of them. This is something that I can show her to say first I built you from scratch and then I stretched my body to its limits to make sure you were healthy. I mean yes they are ugly but how amazing is it that your body can stretch and mold to hold a growing human that you built in 10 months. I don't know I still think its pretty amazing. Maybe I'm loving this pregnancy thing a little too much or maybe there is something wrong with me but I seriously feel like mommy marks are completely looked at in the wrong light. We should be proud of our weight gain, our mommy marks and the insane dark huge nipples we are building the future here people so stop looking at everything as ugly or something that can't be fixed. Anywho I'm rambling so I guess I should stop writing but let me leave you with one thing for any of you who haven't experienced this amazing adventure... first trimester your exhausted, second trimester your tired and third trimester your delirious so get out of our way because we might just punch you in the nose and kick you in the shin because its just what happens at this stage :)

1-14-10 Week 30

Ok so i'm going back a week but I have to tell you all about the funniest story ever. I have gone over to the hormonal side of pregnancy now probably since 29 weeks maybe beginning of my 30th week I have just started being hormonal like holy heck really hormonal. So the other night I'm driving home and Jake asks me what do you want for dinner... well I didn't really care and well I was hungry so anything would do. Well I'm 5 minutes from home and I call to see what he decided and he pulled out 2 chicken breasts for me (one for dinner and one for lunch the next day's lunch) and he was making himself meatballs and rice. As many of you know Baby A does not like ground beef so I have been without ground beef for a while. So anywho he is defrosting chicken and I am like damn I really don't want any more chicken but its already out so thats what I'm having. Well I get home see the chicken defrosting and I get super bummed out. At this point I am a 5 year old pouter sitting on the couch. He brings me dinner I take one bite and I start to cry. He asks me "are you crying?" which I respond by tears lots and lots of tears we are talking can't breathe sobbing. Imagine a little girl that just had her favorite toy stollen that was me. And during this I'm trying to tell him "no more chicken I just can't eat anymore chicken" hahaha yeah it was rough! So he takes it and puts it away and asks what he can get me where can he drive (AKA get away from you while you freak out) to get you something to eat. Oh My, my poor poor husband but he was so good just hugging me while I sob uncontrollably. Yes the hormones have taken over. So the next night at dinner what do I order chicken and pasta I don't know what my deal was I have had chicken pretty much everyday since then with no outbreaks but when I get too hungry the smallest thing makes me cry :(

On another note we are finally done with the baby's room we went to Ikea and got a sleeper sofa, which I think at first Jake agreed to getting at first because he was afraid that I was going to cry again, but then Kevin came into town and guess what he slept on.... My Sleeper sofa!!! He said that it was comfy too! I thought that it was comfy when I layed on it at Ikea but its nice to have him agree that it was comfy and he said that as soon as he layed down he slept like a rock so hopefully it really is that comfy and he wasn't playing nice due to my husband telling him about my tears :) The only thing that I can tell you ladies is that now due to the hormones making me cry about everything is that I get things a little easier these days. Which is nice but I hate the tears they are so ridiculous oh well just keep me fed I guess is the key.

1-8-10 week 29

ok so we stunk on the picture taking this week so next week (this coming thursday really, 30 week) you will get to see how she jumped out again! she is so active and last night/this am she was so active that my stomach seriously feels bruised! oh well at least she's active right, wait right? someone please reassure me this is a good thing... I knew I was in trouble when at 12 weeks the dr told me she was crazy active. does this mean shes going to be crazy active outside. What have we gotten ourselves into! Well nothing new this week just trying to get back to eating normal as in not eating every sweet thing insight like I did the entire month of December. Oh and we went to the dr last Friday and we are doing a sonogram next appt (week 21, friday 1-22-10) and I am going to make sure we aren't having twins! And she better still be a girl! haha seriously if another person asks if i'm having twins I'm going to leave come home and have a glass of wine like my dr suggested otherwise I'm going to punch them in the nose, kick them in the shin and run away before they are able to do anything ! hehe ok well week 30 here we come and can't wait until the baby showers! I'm soooo excited for all the fun stuff!

Baby's Room...

Yeah Baby Here It Is!!! ok the 1st pic is My hunny with the tree all taped and ready to be painted.

The next pic is a pic of him with it primed, painted and stenciling on the leaves.

And the 3rd and final pic is the room done! the tree with the swing in front of it and on the lower right the crib. you can see our bedding hanging over the back of it.

He worked so hard and it turned out amazingly! I love it so much and I know that our daughter will love it too! I think my favorite part is that it goes on both colors. And incase you want to know my favorite branch (yes I have one) is up in the top left it has a little bump in the branch it looks like it should have a little knot or something in it and I love it!
