39 weeks…yep. Still pregnant. I really never thought we would be playing the waiting game for our little one to come. Only one more week till my due date. I guess I was a little spoiled with Jax coming early. I feel like a ticking time bomb. A beached whale. A swollen one. (Ha! It would be nice to be on the beach right about now.)
I’ve never been so ready for something. in. my. life. He will come. He will…on his own time. Until then I will continue to eat as much chocolate as I want!
34 weeks today…about ready to POP! I have no idea when this little guy is going to come. I am getting nervous, well a little anxious actually. My husband keeps saying, ‘It’s too early’. I know. I know. But Jax came early (35 weeks 2 days), so you never know. We are throwing my sister a baby shower (yes, I have yet another sister that is pregnant) this weekend. Hopefully I will still be waddling around…I don’t want to miss it! In the meantime, I have been finishing up the nursery, washing some teeny tiny clothes, cleaning up the car seat and bouncer and stocking up on diapers. I am going start packing a bag of basics this week…just in case. What did you pack in your hospital bag?
Happy Valentine’s Day! I am 29 weeks today…still growing. Can’t wait until our little one arrives. Until then we are sending you lots of love and ‘I YOUs’.

A little fact about today: I am 24 weeks and Jax is 24 months.
18 weeks today! Starting to grow out of my clothes…not quite ready to give up my skinnys just yet (stretching out the rubber band trick as long as possible)…ha! I am feeling much better now though. Got my emotions all locked up. I am so happy to feel those tiny kicks and pokes again. We can’t wait to find out the sex…my ultrasound is just a few days before Christmas! Trying to think of names too, but none are really sticking yet. Any ideas?
I’ve been waiting to share with you our exciting news! We are having a BABY! Yep, that’s me (and Jax playing with my belly button)…I’m in my 13th week already. We didn’t exactly plan for number two to be on its way so soon, but our little ones will be around 27 or so months apart…which is perfect. 2011 has been the most eventful year of my entire life! To be honest, I’m getting used to not knowing what is going to happen next.
I’m going to miss my body, it’s taken a year and a half to get it back to normal. There is just so much change that happens during pregnancy. We’ve been trying to stay pretty active…taking long walks and riding our new bikes. We played kickball every thursday this summer, which was so much fun. Hoping to join a soccer league maybe next year.
Lately I’ve been extremely emotional, I’m worried I may have prenatal depression. I don’t remember being like this with Jax. Although I haven’t been sick one time yet, which is nice. But I’d almost rather be throwing up then struggle with other stressful symptoms like, crying out of the blue, freaking out over silly things, having trouble sleeping or just being angry…please hurry second trimester, this part is not fun! On top of those things I’m trying to keep up being a work from home mom, which I love, but I am learning all of the ups and downs quickly. I am also trying to balance being a newlywed and keep working on our relationship, especially through all the changes. Its been hard but I have faith we will make it through as long as I have his support. Any advice would be appreciated.
I just cant believe our little peanut is going to be a big brother! Well, bring on the cocoa butter, ginger-ale and vanilla pudding…and let the midnight water chugging continue!
