The Belly is Ready to Pop!!

FOUR DAYS TILL BLAST OFF!! Or at least that's my due date I am sure I have more then four but I have to tell myself four to keep me sane these days. I am ginormous and there is not a day that goes by that someone doesn't tell me so. I don't mind though because I am and it also means I am that much closer!!

So because I am down to about three outfits these days I have a couple "look how far I've come" pictures for you. And oh boy have I come far! (as in far out there)

February 27th April 17th



February 13th May 8th


Here is some girls in my hood, we like to stick together. We are standing in order of our due date (that's right I'm first in line) May 26th, June 1st, June 5th, June 10th, June 22nd, and July 10th. Awesome.


May 14th

What is the Man of the house doing these days . . . . I could answer that in one picture. . .(but I added a few more just because)

He works golf 40 hours a week, he plays golf 3-4 times a week (free thank goodness) and if I am lucky he will even sleep with his golf club.
Side note- he actually really did sleep with it one night and half way through the night I woke up to it in my face. So I grabbed it and leaned over him to put it one the ground barely touching him and he "work up" karate chopping and then went back to sleep. So funny!! I was laughing so hard.

(His golfing buddy Mike)

(Can you see my belly?? I mean can you see the clouds my belly is blocking?)

I went along for the ride two days ago (friday) hoping the bumpy ride would shake the baby out and I walked a few holes. Saturday I had backache and very frequent, more intense braxton hicks contractions all day. Unfortunately I was sitting doing homework all day, so today I feel nothing. Which is so sad because I was hoping to get out of a presentation I have tomorrow. Darn.

Baby/Mommy Update:

Had a doctors apportionment yesterday and here is the wrap up:

(this is for you mom)

-4 pounds gained since last appointment for a total of 17 pounds gained

-Tomorrow I will be 32 weeks. . . Wowzers!
-Blood presure was low but I don't ever faint so it is no worry
-Baby heartbeat sounded good and strong (like they always say)
-Head is down and legs are up
-And apparently it is normal for my pelvic bone to HURT when I move just so or just walk sometimes. (to much information . .? Sorry)
-Also no need to worry that I continually sleep on my back, again because I am not fainting. (Oh the dumb questions I think of to ask sometimes)

In other news:

Jonathan and I had a bet on when my innie belly-button would become an outie. . .we both lost. It is still kicking it in the innie position.

I tried my hand at jogging the other morning during my daily walk and it was a success because I didn't fall on my face. Did I look awkward doing it? I am sure I did but no one will ever know because I made sure no one was around. Ha!

My favorite activity is watching my stomach dis-form as little Junior tries to get comfortable. This is a frequent occurrence and for some reason Junior is really attracted to my right rib. Ouch. I just don't have much room for the poor little guy.

As for cravings I haven't really had any. Sweets however sound good ALL the time! When I try to think of what to make for dinner all I can think is "I could really go for some ice cream/chocolate/lollipop/sour straws/cookies/cupcakes. . . you get the idea. I was really hoping I would end up craving something like bananas- which I totally despise- or something on the healthy side, but no just sweets for me!

Jonathan says I waddle and don't think I do yet. (unless my pelvic bone is hurting then I do)

Today a lady asked me when I was due and when I told her May 26th she replied "Oh my goodness you have so long left and you are so big!!!". Thank you kind friend.

I don't know, what do you guys think??

It is a Bobby which is Awesome but none of us knew what the strap was for! So The Party Planner suggested that maybe it is there so you can hook it on to yourself. . . like a sumo wrestler. I tried it. We voted this might not be right so we turned to the internet.

Apparently it is for the baby to use. . .

Oh, right, that makes sense.

Thanks again Autumn!! It was so fun and so adorable!!
