Here I am at 39 weeks in all my glory! I cannot describe how happy I am to have this baby. Not only for the fact that I am DYING to meet him and get to know his personality, but I am so ready not to be pregnant! I figured that for my final pregnancy post I would waddle down memory lane...
Cravings: It started with microwave popcorn. Seriously, I was eating a bag a night! Then I moved onto cantaloupe which was intense in the 2nd trimester. There was nothing that really stood out in the third trimester. I did have some aversions too. Like garlic, bananas, dorritos, some sugary stuff. But man bananas. I don't think I have had one banana this entire pregnancy. I did stop drinking splenda but it kind of put me back on full sugar drinks. Like and occasional coke...it does taste good:)
I feel like all around I have looked and felt roughly how I did when I was pregnant with Matthew. I was not too big until just now at the end, I carry really high, and I have had mad reflux! I mean mad. whew. Thank god for zantac! I am very tired but trying really hard to push through it so I can be the best mom I can be to the other two. That has been the most difficult part, just having energy for the other two.
If I had some gripes it has been when strangers tell me that I look like I carry really high. I mean REALLY?! Yes I know...do you really want to know my history? I promise I will buy more in your store if you shut the hell up and just tell me that I look pregnant. Or I look like I am going to birth any day...yes I know I am big.
OK there are some good things. Ummmm hmmm let me think?! No I am kidding! I have loved feeling him move inside me. I am so thankful that I have had a relatively uneventful pregnancy and we are both healthy! I haven't been pukey sick for a long time and there are some nights when I sleep like a log! I am very excited to learn about Sparky, his personality and what he will look like!
The very next post will be all about him!!!! YAY wish me luck...the only person who needs a good night sleep tonight is Dr Hilton!
On aside note: I have to say that I have been feeling the love from my friends and family so much over the last couple of weeks. People have been so sweet with bringing us dinner or taking me out and wanting to have coffee or having me over for late night convos and ice cream:) Not to mention those who have offered to take the kids or the ones physically taking them. I am a very lucky girl to have such amazing people in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart:) <3
