the one where I've got three weeks

I figured it's about time for an update on the Nugget. Being pregnant with #2 has been super different for me. Not physically, but emotionally. When little CB was inside me, she was all I could think about, prepare for, and she covered every bullet point on my to do lists. With the Nugget, things have just been different. CB still dominates my to do lists, as well as a super awesome and time consuming ministry, and the ministry of being an excellent wife and homemaker. So...I just haven't given the Nugget as much attention.

Even now I have a list of things to do to get ready for baby, but I have a feeling I'll use CB's naptime to blog and then take a nap of my own...

My c-section is scheduled for Monday morning, May 2. I'm excited. I'm really really hoping and praying the little one stays inside till then. CB was born at 37 weeks, and I'm just not ready to have a baby next week. not.ready.at.all.

Since I haven't done anything cute at all on this blog for the Nugget, here's a cutesy blog update for you:

How far along? 36 weeks

Total weight gain: I'm hanging in at about 28 lbs, where I've been for the last month. I gained about 7 with Chloe Belle, so this is a BIG change for me.

Baby Bump? are you kidding? I'm enormous.

Maternity clothes? are getting too small...

Cravings: pretty much anything I can put in my mouth.

Symptoms: uncomfortable, swollen, huge. Putting on my shoes and walking up more than one flight of stairs now classify as exercise.

Sleep: not so great. Peeing every 2 hours and waking up at other times when the Nugget decides to have a dance party. I'm pretty sure last night it bruised my spleen while doing the dougie.

Movement: reached that point where other people can see the movement, not just feel it. My stomach will randomly jet out to one side and occasionally it pokes it's booty out so far you can tell what kind of superman underoos it's wearing.

Gender: no clue. I will try to refrain from disrespectful comments at this point because I love my husband dearly. However, we have multiple friends who are pregnant and they seem to all be having girls, which makes me think we're having a boy. And, random people tell me I'm having a boy. So, boy maybe? who knows.

Belly Button in or out? flat.

What I miss: sleep and pants that zip.

Best moment this week: spending Saturday with my husband getting ready for the baby. Big thanks to Beth for taking care of CB. I love my husband. Time with him is always the best moment of the week...

  2. YOU ARE HYSTERICAL! Do you know you'll have had 2 babies (at least) before I see you again? What the heck? I'm so pumped to see this little one! And praying that you have a smooth last 3 weeks. I love you so much and dang, I miss you! I mean, for reals. Lucy is awesome and she says she misses you and CB, too! :) I mean, I'm sure that's what she meant! I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!
