T-Minus Less Than 30 Days!

Weighty Issues: I'm done answering this question, not because I'm ashamed of the way I've treated my body or fed my son in the last ~9 months but because I'm swellling a lot and retaining a lot of water (my dr estimates around 10lbs!). I refuse to report my weight each week knowing this because, yes it will hurt my feelings. So there you have it.

Stretch Marks: Nothing new to report here, belly is free and clear but the boobies are the opposite (and I think are going through another growth spirt so I've been rocking a huge sports bra daily!)

Sleep: I haven't been sleeping well lately...such is life though.

Best Moment this week:  Every moment is amazing!

Food: I'm digging strawberries on my cereal each morning and Iced Tea....mmmmm!

Clothes: Maternity, end of story.

Labor signs: Only 6 DAYS and I'll be full term so at this point I'm ok with when-ever little guy decides to make his apperance!  Bring on the contractions!

Belly Button: No hope of it going back in at this point, I wonder if it will ever look the same (although let's face it I don't actually remember what it looked like before, lol!)

What I miss: Nothing at all.  I can handle anything for the short period of time I have left with him.

What I’m looking forward too: His BIRTHday. I want so much to see what he looks like, hear his little cry, hold him, see his daddy hold him.

Weekly Wisdom: I'm sticking with my favorite "everyday is a miracle, treat it that way!"

Weekly WTF: I don't think I have one this week. Life isn't always easy but it's always good.

Nesting: I'm a bit too large to do too much, V usually runs around behind me asking me to "please SIT DOWN" and takes over whatever I'm doing....yes I have used this to my advantage recently.  :)  I did spend some time on Sunday scrubbing my car only to have it rain the whole next day and a bird poop on it three times while I was at work....fail.

Milestones: At this point all little guy has to do is sit back and gain weight! He is about 6lbs and 18 inches according to my book!

  1. you know, I am blaming a bulk of my weight on fluid too! I feel like I've really held it in my lower back and arms oddly enough and I too think it will drop very soon after!
