I went to the doctor and everything looks fine. I've gained 20 lbs!!!! So, I guess I'm on track with the same as I was for Brady but for some reason I feel like 20 is a lot. Anyways, we talked about the birth plan and I go back in 2 weeks.
Here is me in my 7 am glory. Hard to believe I only have 6-8 weeks left...hopefully!!! I SOOO don't want to overcook. I'm hoping she'll come earlier then later because yall - I'm tired of being pregnant. I enjoyed my pregnancy with Brayden so much but with baby girl I just feel like I can't REALLY enjoy it. Maybe it's because I've already done everything before so it's not really new anymore. For instance, Brayden's room is already set up so I don't have a nursery to decorate....most things I already have for her and people just don't get as hyped about baby # 2 like the do when it's the 1st baby. I like to feel her move but it keeps me awake and I need to sleep so I can be alert for Brayden. Also, my entire spine feels bruised from my neck to half way down my back.
I realize this isn't a good one of my belly since the dress hides it a lot. I will be getting one taken this weekend I just keep forgetting. I'm 31 weeks now and doing fine. I have cramps down low and my thighs are aching so I guess the ol' body is preparing to deliver number 2. I'm not scared about it so far but I know closer to time the jitters will set in.
Sorry this picture is a little blurry. As you can see, I am now quite rounded. People keep commenting on how I'm all belly... I feel like it. I measured my stomach and it's 37 inches right now so I guess I've grown a total of 10 inches. My back hurts a lot, more then when I was expecting Brady and i got a vericose vein this time. So....besides that all has been well but I'm ready to get her out!!! I still have 3 months left but I'm so anxious to meet her and see Brady's response - I'm just looking forward to the time of year she's going to be born. I LOVE the fall and I always decorate a lot and bake, hopefully I'll be up to doing that stuff. I look forward to the smell of cinnamon and ginger and having a new baby to cuddle, and a two year old to laugh with,
Here's the belly....definitely sticks out and my back sways. Anyhoo, I have to stats to tell you because I haven't really been watching my weight as closely as I use to. I am going to the doctor tomorrow so maybe I'll write more then. My back has been aching a lot lately and I'm getting up at least twice in the night to visit the bathroom....sleepless nights are already upon me. :)
