Packages

I love getting stuff in the mail.... well everything but bills haha.

Anyway, I have recently been ordering lots of baby stuff online from Amazon and so it has been fun to get little packages of goodies a couple times a week. Well yesterday I got a package that I hadn't ordered but my sister had.... it was from an online site called Bluum It is so cool. ( PS.. I hope that link worked because I have never done that before) anywhoo.... what an awesome gift idea. It is basically a gift box of deluxe samples that you get once a month and you pay for it just like a magazine subscription. So she set it up so that I will be getting them monthly for a little while.

The box that I got is a mix of stuff for mom and baby ...

THANKS SISTER!!!

so close... yet so far away

Man… I was so all over this blog when I first started. Now I am just lazy.

However, I am HUGE and I wanted everyone to take a look at this 35 week photo because it will probably be the last self-photo  I take before Jaida is here J YAY!

I am actually planning on having my friend take some maternity pics this weekend. Thank goodness for photo shop because this belly is stretch marked to the max and I am not to fond of the outie belly button I currently am sporting. LOL

**** Soooo… Update time?.....*****

I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and as of last Thursday’s drs. Apt the nurse said I am only measuring 36.5 weeks so although Jaida will no doubt be a big baby I prob only look so huge because I am so short and because she is sitting all the way against my belly….pushing it out to the max!

( See pic below:: sorry about the lighting!... oh and the look of fear all over my face HAHA )

Also, I noticed that I thought I was HUGE when I was only 18 weeks along... ( in case you forgot what I looked like then see that pic below....)

Psssssh.... that seems like nothing now!!! UGH the more I look at that top picture the more I realize just how much work I will have to do to get this weight off once she is born!

So, all of that being said I have an ultrasound in 2 days to check on her growth as well as the level of amniotic fluid that she is in because I was a little on the high side and they don't want her to run out of room of course! Maybe they will decide she needs to come a little early.... I wouldn't be sad about that as all. once I make it 1-2 more weeks she will be considered "full term" and hopefully ready as ever! That being said... wish me luck because I am not sure how soon I will be back to blog about this glorious pregnancy ( said with every ounce of sarcasm I could muster)

** PS: c section is officially scheduled for June 19th YIPEEEE..... kinda want to make it till then... kinda want her to come now.

Long time... no Blog

I'm sorry.

I know In am falling way short with this blog. Thing is, I am super uncomfortable and unfocused these days I just cant put myself to blog.

However, Here I am :)

UPDATE:: I am 32 weeks pregnant tomorrow ( going on what feels like 45) I get to schedule my c- section sometime this month.... for June, so I will finally have an exact eviction date for my lil' lady! ** unless she comes early which I wont mind so long as its not TOO early**

I am only working 25 hours per week now at work due to horrible back problems and a torn abdominal wall. sucky. I really don't know how much longer I will be able to work at all, coming in today with my back killing me and on less than 5 hours of very interrupted sleep was awful! My dr. also has me doing physical therapy twice a week as well as massage therapy. I have only had one apt. so far and have my first massage in 2 days so we shall see how it goes!

I had my baby shower on Sat. it was AMAZING!! I will post pictures as soon as I see any of them ( my friend took a bunch) I was having nightmares all week leading up to it thinking of showing up to only 3 people being there and all this work put in by my 2 good friends that threw it. It wasn't like that at all though, there were like maybe 20 women there and great food and wonderful gifts. I felt SO loved!!! Best day ever!!

So here's hoping these last 7 weeks before Jaida is born are uneventful and pain free... HA! .... but I can hope!

slow growing

So my son Jordon.....

He does not grow.

I mean really, I was just noticing that the outfit he wore for Easter this year was worn once before and although I don't know exactly how old he is in the first picture I am going to guess about 5. Then he wore the same shirt(s) this past weekend at age 8 ALMOST 9.

See for yourself:




 and now::




clearly to me he looks different in the face but how the heck is his upper body still the same size LOL. His legs are growing longer, and his feet are getting bigger... but his shirts from years ago are all still fitting.

One thing I think is for sure.... Jordon will probably not be very tall.

Hello

Hello Blog.

I miss you.

Someday I will be back to update you with pictures and stories.

For now though...... I've got nuthin'

It's official

Pregnancy is NOT fun anymore :(

Not that I ever thought it was a good time being pregnant. I hate to be the whiny type but seriously this pregnancy thing is not as easy as some people make it look haha.

I feel so guilty for being uncomfortable or in pain.

I feel like I am failing at my job and at home because I cannot give 100% anymore. Not only do I have this huge baby to carry around but she is killing my back and now my tear in my abdomen is getting worse and causing pain too. BOOOO HOOOO.

It is such a blessing to be pregnant and I am so thankful that I will have this amazing baby to love and care for, but I just wanted to vent that I feel useless right now.

Next week I am starting to work part time because I can no longer sit stand or walk for more than 5 consecutive hours without excruciating pain. However to people on the outside looking in I know it looks like I am just making an excuse to sit around and do nothing.

Why do I feel guilty. That is unfair. So what if people don't understand.... so what. I am doing what is best for me and my unborn child.

UGH the pain

Oh it has begun.

I can’t sit for a long time, I can’t stand for a long time, and I can’t walk for a long time. The pain in my back will not stop. Yesterday ( I reached a “mere” 27 weeks) I started having cramps early in the morning but went to work anyways. I suffered through an entire day of cramping and horrible back pain in order to make it to Jordon’s conference. Unfortunately I didn’t make it. I had to call to cancel because I was in so much pain and just needed to lay down.

I hate sounding like a cry baby but honestly I don’t know how people do it! How do you work a 40 hour a week office job when NO position is comfortable and everything causes you pain. BOOO.

I know that things could be a lot worse an d I am so thankful that everything seems fine with Jaida, but dang this back and cramping pain. I suppose I expected the 3^rd trimester to be bad but for some reason I just did not expect this.

Well that is all the complaining and whining I have for you today folks. Carry on…..
