Sunday

Okay, I’m officially past the “cute and pregnant” look and out here waddling through life. The past few days he feels like he’s been sitting nestled down low and there is a lot of pressure down there. No pain. Just pressure and stomach tightening which causes me to slow down and waddle. Lol idk why the waddle feels so much more comfortable than trying to walk “normal”. Something else I don’t understand is the urge to have my belly exposed. Whenever I’m home, or at my parent’s house, I can’t wait to roll down my maternity pants and lift my shirt over my belly. It’s cooling and comfortable. With just over a month left until he gets here, we still have plenty to get done around the house. I’m not stressing it though. We’ll do what we can. We moved the boys to the back last week. They were excited about it. It’s an adjustment for Brian and I as well because they both still need assistance getting buckled in. Parker can buckle himself when he wants to, but we still need to check if he’s fastened properly. I’ve sat in the middle row a few times so I can get a feel of where I’ll keep my bag and how I’ll feel, in general, sitting back there. 

Every day I get more excited to meet Beau but I’m really going to miss this. There are times, especially when sleeping when I am uncomfortable to the max but somehow, this is still my favorite part of pregnancy and I’m going to miss it. 

Monday

Brian just made me a snack of apple with cheese slices along with a “Razzle Dazzle”. A Razzle Dazzle is just sparkling water topped off with any fruit juice. Tonight I was craving an apple juice Razzle Dazzle 😊 I’m sitting in bed with my snack and my drink with my breasts and belly out, patiently waiting for my massage when Brian is done cleaning up the kitchen for the night. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t enjoying being pampered like this. Growing and carrying a baby is hard work! I should be done counting kicks by the time he’s gets back here. I’ll do a little blogging then maybe some reading until massage time….

Friday

WTF. I HAVE BEEN SO STRESSED. I think it’s best my sister and I put some distance between us. At least for the duration of this pregnancy.

This is our last go round and I want to share this with just Brian. He’s my husband, my best friend, my safe space, and my strength when I’m feeling weak. I don’t think I could have asked for a better support system and given what we’ve experienced trying to get here, it would be special to share this welcoming with just him. It just feels different this time. Not better or worse, just different.
