So I thought I should blog about this pregnancy just to log it in.
I get the worst mom-nesia after I have my babies that I don't remember a single thing about my pregnancies. I swore this pregnancy was so much worse then all the others till I looked back on my blog when I was 16 weeks and at that exact same point in my pregnancy with Kara I was complaining of the exact same things.... So yeah- I forget....
Anyways- right now my predominant thought is how huge I feel! I've gained way more weight with this pregnancy than any before. I am 30 weeks today and probably 5 pounds away from my total weight gain with Scott... And probably past my total weight gain with my others! But I've enjoyed every second of this whole eating for 2 thing and am already planning some half marathons for next fall to help me shed this extra padding.
I'm not quite to the point of being super uncomfortable. But I'm getting there.
I get tons of Braxton Hicks- nothing too strong and never consistent- but just randomly here or there- especially when I'm
The baby is so active right now and I LOVE it! This could be our last kid so I'm trying to cherish each little kick and wiggle!! Feeling the baby move is my most favorite favorite part of pregnancy!!! And this little one is kinda chill compared to my others. Not nearly as active or violent in it's kicks as I remember the others being but again I have 10 more weeks for this one to prove me wrong. (I remember Scott at this point pushing sooooo hard sometimes I had to just push back and try and get that elbow or knee to stop trying to tear my belly.)
I still get nauseous over certain smells or dirty diapers but I haven't barfed since like 15 weeks I think.
My joints are so creaky and sore. Especially my hips and my lower pelvis down in front :) I swear sometimes I feel like my bones are tearing apart= pregnancy is so fun and glamorous huh?!
I go back and forth on being excited about delivery and freaked out! But luckily I still have 2 more months before it's even close to being time.
Scott is so cute about the baby- I swear he's already totally smitten. He sometimes just sits down next to me and just pats my belly affectionately. It's kinda cute. He'll say goodbye to the baby kinda jokingly when he leaves for school sometimes. The few times he's felt the baby move he gets so excited! It's cute. Brock is a little indifferent but sometimes pats my belly and I can tell he mostly knows what's going on. Sometimes I joke with him when he jumps on me rough or rams into me that he's gonna make the baby fall out. He'll get this worried look on his face and say things like "Right on the ground???" He's a character! Kara has NO clue. She just thinks it's extra funny lately to lift up my shirt and beep my belly button... Yeah- she has no idea. But she loves other babies so I have a feeling she'll warm up to it once it's here. Although she will have the most problems with sharing attention. Lately anytime I'm in the kitchen cooking or cleaning she'll come up to me and get in between me and what I'm doing and just push my legs away as hard as she can to get me away from the counter so I'll pick her up. She's prissy like that.
I've been so tired this pregnancy and I just get worn out super fast. I've started taking an aerobics class and that's helped a little giving me more bursts of energy but man I still just wanna sleep all day. The scary thing is thinking about how in 2 more months I'll be getting no sleep and have one extra kid to take care of! Yeah- this kid can stay in as long as it wants!
The funny thing is I get the nesting urge- like to re organize or re paint rooms but then my body reminds my mind that I have no energy and those urges kinda just disappear. Haha.
