Summer continued

I had made a bowl of chocolate pudding and it was chilling in the fridge. I wanted to eat it when it was cold. I had to go upstairs to do something and heard from wrestling around in the kitchen. ....

 I guess Brooklind couldn't wait for it to chill and wanted to eat the pudding right away. It was such a mess (all over the fridge, the drawers where her spoons are, the tile flooring and on Brooklind of course). She looks like a zombie with blood all over her.

We went to Mile Square Park because we had some leftover bread. There were soooo many ducks and geese. The geese are so mean they were about ready to bite off Brooklind's fingers a few times. She loved it!!!

Brooklind got a new dress and always has to pose for a picture when she gets something new. She looked so cute in it. 

 

The rest of this summer we have just being playing in the pool and hanging out. I am not much fun right now because I can't walk long distances and I can't run after Brooklind so its hard for us to get out. Plus we still just have the 1 car so that makes it difficult.

33 weeks prego!!

I turned 33 weeks prego on Saturday (August 25)!

I don't see my OBGYN again until September 13 to get a more in depth update on the pregnancy. I am on the home stretch as people would say right now. I am at the stage where I am just done!! Heres a list of things that i forgot about that I wish we didn't have to go through as pregos.

Things that I forgot about in this stage in a pregnancy:

• Can't sleep (belly too big and having to get up to pee every 20-30 minutes)
• sciatica pain (this time it is on both sides of my body and it hurts to get up after laying down)
• Peeing ALL the time literally!!!! (at night is the worst)
• Being pregnant in the summer (the heat is killing me and drinking more water/ice chips is making the peeing just as bad)
• Maternity clothes even start to get too small (have had to get a few more things bigger to last until the end).
• Acid reflux (Just gross and downing the tums all the time it seems)
• Belly is so large 
• sharp stabbing pain under my right boob and above ribs (from the stretching ligament pain)
• Feet hurt and swell (mainly my heals just ache)
• Depression starts to kick in a little because you are so uncomfortable and ready to have the baby

I can probably keep adding but these are the ones that come to mind lately. Well hopefully I can get through the end! I am having contractions more lately and the pressure down there is just bad sometimes. It feels like the baby has almost dropped a little bit because my acid reflux and breathing has improved a little bit. I will put another update after I see my doctor again. Oh the joys of pregnancy!!!!!

Pregnancy update

31 weeks 4 days along

I went to my doctors appointment yesterday (Monday). I am currently 31 weeks and 2 days. All my vitals were perfect (blood pressure, peeing on stick, weight, etc). I have altogether gained 19lbs since the beginning of the pregnancy. My doctors says I have 8 more pounds I can gain so gain them wisely.

As my doctor was measuring my belly she had a very concerned look on her face. I said "what?????" She said that I am 31 weeks but measuring at 32 weeks. It wasn't a bad thing just that I will be earlier than my due date.

She than goes onto to asking me questions like how much did your last weight (Brooklind was 8.75lbs and 21 inch and only a day before my due date). So my doctor knew I could have another good size baby and because I am only 5' 2" she told me that at 38 weeks she wanted to strip my membranes. She told me at the very end that she did not want me to go full term because of all this. It was happy news for me because less time being prego!!!!!!!!!!!!! So 38 weeks that would be Sept 30.

I am so excited that I basically have less than 2 months to be pregnant!!!!!! Especially with this heatwave it has NOT been fun!!!!!!!!

Big Bear Trip summer 2012

Brooklind and I got to spend a week and a half up in Big Bear Lake at my parents house. Brooklind had a blast because she got to play in their big backyard and get dirty! We got to go to the Big Bear zoo, discovery center, and play!!!! At one point during the trip I caught some sort of bug and got sick (I think it was from something I ate at this Mexican food place we went). I had the fun food poisoning symptoms....ewwww!

Toward the end of the week my hubby Stephen got to come up and we got to go to the Fun run car show that they have every year in August up there. It started to pour rain halfway through it. The weather was hot up there but not like off the mountain. We had a few thunder storms with rain so that was nice to cool it down.
