\"someone<\/a>

someone looks a little tired<\/p><\/div>\n

I have reached the last stretch of this pregnancy, 4 more weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 Well technically we only have 3 more weeks because we have my C-section scheduled for July 24th which is 39 weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 She will get to share her birthday with her Aunt Stephanie…or should I say, Aunt Stephanie gets to share her birthday with little miss!<\/p>\n

I decided to take a few weeks off work before she gets here so Tuesday is my last day of work before maternity leave starts.\u00c2\u00a0 I will be 37 weeks at that point and completely ready to be off work.\u00c2\u00a0 With the increase in contrations when I do anything and the fact that they are getting stronger and stronger, it is getting very uncomfortable to be at work.\u00c2\u00a0 I am also having issues with being really lightheaded and such when I’m on my feet (or sitting for that matter).\u00c2\u00a0 So its best if I stop working. Its getting harder and harder to take care of the boys now because I’m not feeling great and just really really tired all the time.\u00c2\u00a0 Thankfully Jonathan has done a wonderful job on increased daddy duty the last few weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 He has spent a lot of time with the boys and let me sleep in or stay at home while they go to the park, etc.\u00c2\u00a0 I do miss not being able to go with them, but I would just be miserable if I did.<\/p>\n

I am pretty much done with her nursery so I’ll post some pictures of it later.\u00c2\u00a0 In the mean time, here is another survey for you.<\/p>\n

Due date: <\/strong>July 30<\/div>\n
How far along:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 36 weeks<\/div>\n
Gender:\u00c2\u00a0 <\/strong>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a GIRL<\/div>\n
Total weight gain\/loss:\u00c2\u00a0 <\/strong>about 16 or so<\/div>\n
Exercise: <\/strong>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not allowed to exercise<\/div>\n
Stretch marks: <\/strong>the ones I got from the boys, that are ever so obvious now plus a few more.<\/div>\n
Swelling: <\/strong>some mild swelling in my hands and feet by the end of the day<\/div>\n
Maternity clothes:\u00c2\u00a0 <\/strong>yes, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m so tired of them<\/div>\n
Belly button:\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong> it has officially become an outie<\/div>\n
Sleep: <\/strong>as long as I take an ambien \u00e2\u20ac\u201c which is usually only 1 time a week or maybe benadryl<\/div>\n
Food cravings:\u00c2\u00a0 <\/strong>Cream soda<\/div>\n
Symptoms:\u00c2\u00a0 <\/strong>contractions that are getting stronger and more frequent – all day long, heartburn and now my ribs are starting to hurt as she is pushing them apart.<\/div>\n
Movement:\u00c2\u00a0 <\/strong>All. The. Time.\u00c2\u00a0 I have a new game I play called, is that a head, butt, elbow or knee that is pushing on my ribcage. She made me go in to be monitored a week ago because she was being lazy and not moving nearly as much.\u00c2\u00a0 She eventually did what the Dr. wanted so we were able to leave, but she’s already being a drama queen.<\/div>\n
Labor signs: <\/strong>just the contractions, but apparently they aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t doing anything.<\/div>\n
What I miss: <\/strong>not having to go the bathroom all day long and sleep<\/div>\n

What I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m looking forward to:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 <\/strong>meeting her<\/div>\n
