On Thursday, we'll have been married 4 years! That's pretty exciting to me! I am really glad Neal and I were able to spend a few years just the two of us. Though, it's going to be so awesome to have a little girl to bring on even more memories.
It really is amazing to me how much more love I already think I feel for Neal as we've gone through this pregnancy. I can only imagine this will multiply exponentially as we go through parenting together. Sure, not all of pregnancy has been easy on us, I'm positive parenting will be even harder, but these experiences have really brought a deeper bond. It could be the dependency I have on Neal, the way he cares about Braelyn already, his thoughtfulness on my feelings, or simply just growing older. No matter what, this love I have for this man is for sure only going to grow the first time I see him hold our daughter.
How far along: 37
Gender: She’s a girl
Weight gained: 27.4 lbs
Inches gained: About 11
Working Out: Not great, not terrible. It’s harder
to find the energy now. I want to work out before work, but I normally haven’t
slept well enough to be able to last all day if I do both.
Clothing Choices: I hate nearly all my clothes at this moment. I’m
wearing pregnancy jeans and stretchy or flowy tops when I go out of the house
because I only have about 2 skirts and fit and one pair of shorts that sort of
fit.
Belly button: Outty!
Sleep: Yep, sleep sucks. My
body’s getting ready for very little of it…survival of the fittest…
Best moment this week:
Neal bringing me home the book “So
That’s What They’re For” about breastfeeding.
I can’t believe he checked it out from the library for me! Ha! I’m sure
the librarian was amused. Oh, and it was
SUPER exciting to get our glider in and finish up her room! It’s all ready to
go and so is her spot in our room. We
put up her pack n play as well as snug-a-monkey rocker next to the bed. This moved Walden onto Neal’s side of the
bed, which may be why Neal isn’t sleeping as well as Walden is a SUPER annoying
sleeper. That dog snores and has puppy dreams all night. (and all day…he lays
next to me in the office…he just loves me!)
Hardest moment this
week: Just feeling bad about being
tired. I don’t like waking Neal up, I
try to be quiet and just leave the room, but he wakes up too. I feel bad about it because he has to drive
so much for his job, and then I get scared.
What I’m missing: The same thing I
think I’ll be missing for many many months to come…a good night’s sleep.
Movement: She still moves a
lot.
Cravings: Milk, cereal, mozzarella sticks.
Queasy or sick: More indigestion that what I’ve had
lately. She’s just taking up so much
space I suppose.
Looking forward to: Braelyn’s arrival! It’s
really nice to be able to think she’ll be here in days or weeks at most!
Strange Dreams: I cannot remember
my dreams, probably because I don’t sleep long enough to have any!
