I was slacking so much on my updates towards the end that here I am posting it 2 full weeks after having my baby!!! But I already prepped the whole post so I thought I would still post it before I updated the world on the amazing new arrival in our life. :) Here we…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 38 Weeks”
Well, better late than never, I suppose! Still, almost a week? I suck… I still wrote this update last week, though, so you can keep that only-barely-relevant thought in mind. I am finally starting to feel the way so many moms and people have warned me I would feel as I approached my due date….Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 37 Weeks”
We’re chugging along! My updates cover the previous week , so that means I am now officially full term! SCARY AND AWESOME!!! Last week was so busy and crazy! I spent every day working on baby shower stuff with my friend, Beth. We’re both pregnant, which presented its own set of challenges, but I feel…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 36 Weeks”
Lately it seems that every time I go to write the newest update post on this pregnancy I think to myself “but didn’t we just do 35 weeks?” or something to that effect, then I’ll realize that was 34 weeks, but it feels like yesterday. I’m a little scared of writing “40 Weeks” and feeling…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 35 Weeks”
How do I feel? Terrified. Elated. So excited I can’t sleep. So overwhelmed I have no choice but to ride the waves of the insanity that are carrying me ahead at a tremendous speed, bringing me closer to the arrival of baby Tarchala. I love it. I hate it. It’s crazy. Check out the things…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 34 Weeks”
This week I have struggled to be quite as productive as I was last week, but things are still slowly being accomplished. I’m afraid some new developments on the baby front are not that pleasant. I’m think he might have changed positions in my tummy now, after several weeks of consistency. Because I am getting…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 33 Weeks”
I am dwelling in the heart of the final stretch. That’s how I feel, anyway. To me that is anything in the 30’s before full term. It feels meaty to me. Crunch time. Power hour. The last HURRAH! This week has been awesome. I’ve been freaking out about how much still needs to be done…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 32 Weeks”
This week = crunch time. I’m feeling the pressure. Pressure in my bladder, on my cervix, on my ankles, but yes… primarily I feel the pressure of time passing very quickly. I still have so very much to do before baby gets here! However, I am pleased to see little things coming together one by…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 31 Weeks”
The theme of this week: HEAT! I feel like an alien creature with a body temperature beyond the scale of human acceptance. I knew being pregnant in the summer was notoriously tough, but I didn’t realize how much it would make me feel like a displaced penguin. I yearn for the arctic. I also walk…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 30 Weeks”
Baby, baby, baby… That’s all that fills my mind these days it seems. I feel caught up in a whirlwind of “OMG PLEASE GET HERE NOW!” vs “AHHHH!!! NOT YET! I’M NOT READY AT ALL!!!” I am glad that even though late term discomforts still annoy me, I still have a smidge of nesting hormones…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 29 Weeks”
