Jami, Niki W, Jo Dee... Tag your it.

Ever had a baby in your throat?

I think my child is abnormally large. Or My abdomen is abnormally small. These last few days I have felt like she so high, like right underneath my throat. OK... maybe not that high but still it is not comfortable! I am running out of room for her. Only 6(4) more weeks. Oh that blessed day. Here are some things I am getting excited for.
1. Getting some what of the body I had before back.
2. Not having to pee every 2.3 minutes.
3. Not having someone trying to break my ribs.
4. Being able to sleep comfortably.
5. Meeting my baby girl

Im laughing at myself because seriously I trade these things for things like...
1. Not sleeping
2. breastfeeding
3. Recovering from labor and delivery

and so many other things. Well, atleast My ribs wont have anyone trying to break them. Oh that sounds so good.

Sunday

Well, its Sunday again. Which means No shoes to wear and I wonder what wonderful comments I will get this week from the ladies in my ward. Every week I get... your still here, you havent had her yet, You look so big, blah blah blah. Its those same ladies who ask me every week when Im due. This last week I was able to see the woman in my ward more than just Sunday. I walked into Enrichment on Thursday and was immediately bombarded with really "encouraging" comments and I even had a woman, who is not small by any means, offer to give me her pants because she was losing weight rapidly. I was stunned. I couldnt even reply. I just walked away. Well I replied in my head something like, " Im not going to be like this for very much longer lady and how rude, I wont even fit into your pants because even pregnant Im not as big as you. Really? your pants? I even called my friend the next day to see if that really happened and we just laughed. So, bring it on ladies. What are you going to dish out today?


** Well, It wasnt that bad today. I had people tell me how cute I was and the old men were so sad that I couldnt wear my " super cute" high heels anymore. Apparently my shoes make the men in my ward happy. By no means am I offended when these ladies say things, I just wonder where their filter is**

Big P

I walked into my in laws house yesterday and Mom Vance says " your belly doesnt look as big today." I loved her for that. Well,I had a Dr.'s Appointment yesterday... Please only refer to my child as BIG P. Dr. Beck just got a call to go deliver a baby so my appointment that usually lasts about 2.3 minutes lasted about 1. He checked her heart beat... still there and perfect, her head is sitting on my pubic bone... perfect, measured my belly and lo and behold Im measuring 34 weeks instead of 33. I asked if that was normal and he said we will just watch it and check again the next appointment. Then he was out the door. I did get to slip in one important question as he was measuring but all the others I have had since the last appointment apparently will have to wait 2 more weeks. Thats okay. I probably wont lose sleep over it. I knew she was bigger than normal. I can just tell. One of her body parts is always trying to escape out my stomach. ALWAYS.

Hiccumups

Well we had our first case of the Hiccups last night. It must be all that water Im drinking... or Zach is slipping her some Jarritos. It was quite a funny experience. She hiccuped for a good 5-10 minutes. It still is so fun to watch Zach feel baby girl. He never gets tired of it. If shes kicking or pushing or hiccuping he wants to know. He gets to feel all the fun stuff and I get to feel EVERYTHING. Like right now... she really likes my right rib cage. It makes me wonder if there is a nice little lady in the rib cage who will scratch her back and feed her fine foods. I cant wait to meet this little girl. Everyday I get more excited that shes closer to coming out. OH, by the way a girl in my ward just had her baby 5 weeks early and it was over 7 lbs and 20 inches long. CRAZY!!! Baby girl better not be 7lbs yet. We could definitely have some issues.

Its like the Newspaper

Growing up I really liked to read the newspaper. I liked to see what was happening, did I know anyone in the Obituaries, were the comics funny today and so on. Well I dont get the newspaper and apparently the Tribune doesnt distribute it out anymore. Blogging is like my newspaper. I get up, get breakfast, park myself in front of my computer where I check my email and blogs. I love reading everyones "current events." Its fun to know whats going on with old and new friends, family that doesnt live close or even family that does live close. I was talking to my sister in law yesterday and she was saying how hard it was to blog. She was saying you get your pictures together, think of what to write, and sometimes it takes hours(not consistently) to finally be done with her post. She has the some of the best blog posts out there, how could it be hard. Yes, she has 5 young children but her posts seem like they flow right out her mouth. I love reading about my friend Niki. She is so inspirational. She makes me want to be a better person and her posts constantly remind me to be grateful. Then theres Lauren, author of Busy Bee Lauren, shes pretty much famous. I was checking her blog and for her birthday seriously like 144 people commented. I got a little jealous. How come I am not as popular as Lauren. Okay, I know shes funnier than I, but hello... I still love reading her posts. For instance, she posted about Queens Pizzeria on Main Street and don't think that Zach and I aren't going this weekend. The next blogger is Camille, I truly must go to the bathroom before I read her posts. She's hysterical! She writes beautifully and she makes me feel like I was right there with her through her whole experience. Now I have known Niki, Lauren and Camille for a long time. Niki and I would seriously get down with our black selves in Hip hop class, and Lauren, Camille and I basically went to the same schools from kindergarten to graduation. There are so many other blogs that truly inspire me to be a better person. So heres to ALL of my blogging friends and family. You ALL pretty much rock my world.

Big Foot

I had a mental breakdown yesterday. When I say mental breakdown I mean throw myself on my bed and sob for a good 30 minutes, then proceed to redo my makeup so I can go to church and sob in the bathroom and then go to church and start to cry again while singing the Sacrament hymn. During the week my larger stature doesnt really get to me, but on Sundays it really does. Its hard when a dress that fit you last week doesnt fit anymore this week. Its hard when you try to put your feet in shoes and they bulge out like Pillsbury Dough boy. That was the breaking point yesterday. Shoes. Zach and I were getting ready for church. I tried one dress on.. didnt fit. I put something else on... didnt fit. 3rd times a charm right? Dress number 3 fit and I went to put on my black flats and then it was attack of Big foot. My feet were bulging out of my shoes so bad! I then threw them off and layed on my bed and proclaimed I WAS NOT going to church. Zach started to giggle alittle, because Im sure it was quite hilarious how I turned from a 22 year old to a 3 year old in about 2 seconds and then I started to sob. Poor Zach. He didnt even see it was coming. I proceeded to tell him I was "bigger than a house" and I dont fit into anything and that I was done being pregnant. He tried to comfort me... no luck. Last night we had a good laugh about it. I know in the next 8 weeks(hopefully just 6) things are going to get bigger. I dont think I will ever accept it though.

I think the picture of my belly in my last post got distorted. I know my belly is bigger than that. So I have added a new photo.

Baby Mobile... Check

So what do you think?

This is going to hang right over baby girls crib. Well, That's the plan for it right now. Hopefully it will look good there. If not,there are plenty of spots to hang it in her room. Now its time to conquer painting the crib and changing table, which I informed Zach on Monday he needed to mental prepare for tomorrow to be painting day. He is so Jazzed about the whole project. He can hardly contain his excitement.

Zach said I needed to take a new picture because my belly is bigger. 31 weeks and 1 day!

P.S- I keep having dreams where everyones name or last name is Presley. Weird.

Just A little Update

Look what I got for graduation from my parents. Dont mess with me now, Im a serious photographer.

Im big. I went to the Doctor today and it was just a normal appointment where he said I gained more weight then he would like but it looks like Im retaining a bit of water,So that could be why I gained so much this last month. Blah blah blah. We are at the point where I start going in every 2 weeks now. It seems like everytime I get my weekly emails from WebMD and they tell me something should start happening, within 30 seconds it does. Why is that? Weird. Im uncomfortable, I dont sleep, I have Siatic problems on my left side, therefore I walk like an 80 year old woman, my feet and ankles are becoming more and more swollen everyday, I cant get up into the sink anymore to do my makeup and my feet hurt so bad lugging around all this extra weight I had to put a chair in the bathroom so I could sit down while I blow dry my hair. 9 more weeks of this. Seriously? I need everyone to think only 7. And if your going to be negative... please dont be around me.

Look what came in the mail today...

Thats right. Its totally official now.
