So What Wednesday

Have you ever just felt like "So what if ______!" Go link up at http://www.lifeafteridew.com/

So What If:

1. I think non-stop about my baby boy. I'm more than ready for him.
2. All I want to eat, all the time, are fruit snacks.  Latest love, Gushers MMMM
3. I think it is completely appropriate to have a baked potato and an apple with peanut butter for dinner :)
4. I really want beer.  Beer is good.  I will drink beer after this baby gets here.  
5. I judge my husband for the horrible movies he watches (he judges me for the wonderful tv I watch, like RHNJ and PLL and the like).
6. I spent my Saturday at the good ole sorority house helping out with rush - they hid me in the back of the house so I wouldn't scare the girls going through rush.  
7. I am far too lazy to fix my hair regularly.
8. There are few things I enjoy more in life than watching tv with B.
9. One of the thing I'm most looking forward to during my maternity leave is the fact that people are coming in town to visit :)
10. Sometimes I miss college.

It's a sad sad day...

Our favorite sweet spot closed without notifying us.  Good Bye TCBY (or as B calls it "Can't Be Yogurt").  We had a wonderful 4 year run.  Your various yogurt and sorbet flavors were divine.  It will be hard to accept that you are gone, but we will some how find a way to fill the void in our lives/bellies.  RIP TCBY!

I don't get Pippa

What is the hub-bub about her bum?  There really isn't much there.  I understand that she is tiny and has a good physique, but seriously, what is up with everyone going on about her butt?  I get the hub-bub about JLo's bum. It's nice.  Maybe I'm just partial to a full booty since I am a certified member of the full booty club.  Someone please explain to me why people are so obsessed with a girl whose jeans fall off her bum!

This, I don't get.

 

 

I do NOT want my bum to look like this.  The girl looks like she seriously needs to do some squats and lunges. 

THIS (minus the questionable top) I get.

Someone please explain to me why one would prefer the flat booty to the round booty.  If you understand this phenomenon, please explain it to me!

38 Weeks

All I see when I look down

How Far Along: 38 weeks

Size of baby: Around 19-20 inches and close to 7 pounds. 

Total Weight Gain: 26 lbs

Maternity Clothes: Same ole Same (the black tank has made its return)

Gender: Still a boy - B Jr.

Movement: His movement has slowed because he doesn't have as much room anymore, but his movements are still there and he moves like he should.

Sleep: Sleep is sleep.  I wake 1-3 times during the night (depending on how hydrated I am before I go to bed.  I have trouble getting comfortable, but I get as much sleep as I can.

What I miss:  I miss the same things people miss at this point in their pregnancy.  I miss being able to move freely. I miss really exercising. I miss beer and sushi and wine.  I miss not having to go to the bathroom all the time. It's worth every second of things 

 

Cravings: Extra cold water and ice.  My sweet tooth has also accelerated lately.
.

Aversions: Mashed Potatoes (if they aren't super flavored), Chicken Wings and mint toothpaste. 

Symptoms: A bit of insomnia, sore ribs, unquenchable thirst, exhaustion, sore feet and contractions.  OH and a seemingly never empty bladder lol.

Best Moment of the Week: Getting to Friday.  My weekends go by pretty fast and I have such a little time left that it is so good to get to Fridays.

What I'm Looking Forward To: I'm just looking forward to the end of the road.  It's so close.  I can taste it, but I can't see it yet.  I'm ready for my little boy!

Easiest way to piss off your 9 month pregnant wife . . .

• Invite people over to your messy house to watch the Cowboys game without first asking her.
• NOT be home when she gets home, but instead be on a walk.
• Deprive her of the opportunity to go to yoga.
• Try to convince her over and over that it was ok and that he would take care of everything while she was already cleaning and taking care of everything.  

So tired and frustrated and do not want people at my house tonight.

35 weeks/35 days left

How Far Along: 35 weeks

Size of baby: Around 18 inches and 5-6 pounds.  I can't wait to see how big he really is :)

Total Weight Gain: 24 lbs

Maternity Clothes: Same ole Same

Gender: Still a boy - B Jr.

Movement: He still seems to be on a normal schedule.  I have figured out how he's positioned too because I really only get movement on one side of my body (my left) with the occasional roll across my stomach.  He also has found that punching/headbutting Mom in the bladder is "fun" and by fun I mean UGH IT HURTS AND I HAVE TO PEE!

Sleep: It varies. I didn't really sleep a couple of nights ago. I have trouble getting to sleep, but when I do I get decent sleep.  I think that every time I come out of a REM cycle I have to get up and pee.  Such is life.

What I miss:  All that I've really missed the last couple of weeks is being able to fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, and exercising.  I mean like REALLY exercising. Like running and lifting weights and doing things to actually get my heartrate way up and break a good sweat and do things to get skinny! 

 

Cravings: Extra cold water.  I used to not really like ice in my water and now I have to have it or else the water feels icky to me.

Aversions: Mashed Potatoes (if they aren't super flavored), Chicken Wings and mint toothpaste. 

Symptoms: A bit of insomnia, restless legs (I have to stretch before bed), sore ribs, unquenchable thirst and Braxton Hicks contractions.  OH and a seemingly never empty bladder lol.

Best Moment of the Week: My cousin flew in from CO to surprise me for a baby shower on Saturday.  I hadn't seen her in 3 years. It totally made my week :)

What I'm Looking Forward To: At this point I am just looking forward to watching the days tick down and for my little man to get out of my belly and into my arms.  Oh and I am excited to completing our registry and finishing getting everything set up and organized.

How Far Along: 33 weeks and 1 day

Size of baby: Around 17-18 inches and 4.5-6 pounds.  He was in the 72st percentile a few weeks ago so he's probably at the bigger end of those numbers

Total Weight Gain: 23 lbs (hadn't gained anymore weight since last week)

Maternity Clothes: Same ole Same

Gender: Still a boy - B Jr.

Movement: He appears to have developed a schedule similar to mine - awake during the day and asleep during the night.  Now, if he can only keep that once he comes out, that would be great :)

Sleep: I'm now finding ways to get comfortable (which include falling asleep almost upright and then ending up flat on my side by one of my bathroom breaks).  However, I still never feel rested and about an hour after lunch I just want a nap and then don't really perk up again.

What I miss:  Sleeping on my back, beer (it's just so good when it hits your lips), pizza (makes me so uncomfortable I can't even eat one bite), feeling like myself, having a sex drive (because it left about 7 months ago and has yet to return - my poor poor husband) - sounds about right except add to it having energy for an entire day. 

 

Cravings: Extra cold water.  I used to not really like ice in my water and now I have to have it or else the water feels icky to me.

Aversions: Mashed Potatoes (if they aren't super flavored), Chicken Wings and mint toothpaste. 

Symptoms: I start getting tired around 8:30pm, a bit of insomnia, some congestion, I think my belly gets bigger every single day, I get hot and tired very easily, lots of movement, starting to feel heavier in my abdomen, a bit of nesting and my short fuse.  

Best Moment of the Week: Some of the quiet time that Hubs and I have spent together this week (so far).

 What I'm Looking Forward To:  My birthday is Sunday!  I'm also looking forward to the end of this (and will continue to do so) because while I love what is happening inside of me (and will likely do this at least one more time, if not 2 more times), I'm not a huge fan of what is happening on the outside.  Also, I am just ready to meet my little man, but I know he needs more time.  *SIGH*
