That's right, some time next month, I will be having a baby!!! Hopefully not this month, but if he decides to come some time during the end of the month, that would be ok, too.
As long as he is already fat and healthy, of course.
I am 34 weeks, and am starting to feel like I am really pregnant.
Shortness of breath within 1 minute of doing anything "physical". And I use that term very loosely.
Beginning of Braxton Hicks when I do anything strenuous.
Getting pretty tired, very quickly.
Rather uncomfortable, no matter if I am sitting, standing, you name it.
Starting to stress about having everything ready.
Nothing fits, but like, 2 things.
However, there are few things that I still pride myself on.
I can still buckle/tie my own shoes.
I can squat and get up all by myself.
I can still hold Ryden (for short periods of time).
2 items of clothing still fit. hah!
I realized last night, that I have to start taking it easier now. After taking down the Christmas tree and making Ryden's dinner and getting him ready for bed, I was pretty tired. By the time Eric got home, I was getting some consistent BHs. And these were ones that were zingers in my cervix. Really felt them. Eric finished dinner for me, and I sat down and had a couple of glasses of water. That was all it took to make everything subside.
I never had them this early with Ryden, so, it is a reminder to take it easy and stay hydrated.
It is now crunch time. All the things I have been putting off until I was closer, I need to start doing now.
I ordered my birth kit last night, and when it arrives, I will start organizing everything.
In the upcoming weeks, I need to start cooking my freezer stash.
I have also decided, after falling deeply in love with it, I am going to make the carrot cake I made for Christmas dinner my labor project.
So, when I start to feel the onset of beginning labor, I will start baking.
I can only imagine how amazing it is going to be after all the hard work of labor.
Oh, so good!!!
I can't wait!!
This past week, we had a nice time visiting relatives. We also had the baby shower, which was SO nice. I think the universe was really generous in allowing a few of us to gather that hadn't seen each other in years.
I took a couple of quick snapshots, but wish I or someone else had taken more.

with Athan and the balloons!!
Lauren and Cash
I think all of us!
and the 6 of us....... :)
And in case you all didn't know, Kristin and I are 1 month apart. She is due mid March. Pretty neat!
For now, that is it!! I have to get ready to go pick Ryden up from school. :)
Happy New Year, everyone and.....
Cheers to 2012!!!!!!
love,
us
