Last day!!

Today I am 39 weeks and 5 days pregnant and it is finally my last day of work!! I was going to try and hold out until the very last minute but it has become physically impossible. At this point I can hardly walk, seriously! I cannot believe I am still pregnant!! I have my 40 week (!!!!!!!!!!!!) appt today (due date is this friday the 12th) at 4:00 and I am hoping there is more progress and we can get this show on the road already! Please send me some good thoughts and labor/fairy dust! :) I will hopefully update tonight!

39 weeks! Last week of pregnancy (HOPEFULLY)

First of all, thanks for listening to the bitching last week and all your kind comments! It's nice to know others know EXACTLY how I feel :)

How Far Along? 39 weeks, ONE more to go!
Total Weight Gained/Loss? too much......but this week at my 39 week apt was the lowest gain ever! Woop woop!
Maternity Clothes: yeah, even those hardly fit, I am wearing the same like 5 outfits
Sleep? yes please! It has actually been pretty good lately! Still getting up for the bathroom lots but falling right back asleep! I think my body is just so exausted!
Best Moment of the Week? Had my 39 week appt and looking foward to my day off tomorrow!
Movement- really strong pushes, loves to bury herself in my ribs on the right side too
Food Craving- none really, appetite has really decreased
Food aversions- same ole' wheat and flour.
Morning sickness?- not since about week 13 or 14
Gender- Little Lady Kinley
Labor Signs- Dilated to a 2, very soft, and moving foward. That's it
Belly Button-fully out now
What I miss- being pain free, wine, being able to move
What I'm looking forward to- Having a healthy (OUTSIDE) baby girl! Seeing her precious face, and my 40 week apt coming Tuesday. My due date is next Friday, Feb 12 so if there isn't much more progress tues at my apt we are going to schedule an induction for the following week. But hopefully she will decide to come on her own. I think we have a stubborn one on our hands :)
Weekly Wisdom- none this week, just trying to stay positive and and remember I have a healthy baby and I am a healthy mommy
Milestones- 8 days until my due date!  Come on Kinley girl, mommy and daddy can't wait to see your precious face :)

Today is my friday! So excited to have a long weekend and so excited next week is my last week of work! Can't believe I have hung in this long!!!  Hope you all have a fun weekend :)

38 week misery

WARNING: VENT
Let me start by saying I have had a pretty easy pregnancy up until about three weeks ago (besides the back pain). And I have not wanted to complain this entire time because I am THRILLED to be having/carrying my baby girl. However, the past few weeks have just been almost unbearable. Everypart of my body hurts. My wrists, my finers (had to lose the wedding rings and my new DY about 3 weeks ago), my back and hips, my feet are so swollen I am wearing flip flops in 35 degree weather! And the worst part is I have this strip that runs across the top of my belly that is like constant pins and needles that burns so bad! Apparently it is from the skin and muscles stretching. And I am starting to get pregnant face. And the weight gain is OUT OF CONTROL! Ok, rant done, moving on.....

How Far Along? 38 weeks
Total Weight Gained/Loss? too much......again, OUT OF CONTROL

Maternity Clothes: yeah, even those hardly fit, I am wearing the same like 5 outfits
Sleep? yes please! it still sucks but is not as bad. I am basically making myself a cacoon of pillows. Getting up lots to go potty, and usually after my third time it is really hard to get back to sleep
Best Moment of the Week? Had my 38 week appt; had a yummy dinner at PF Changs with husband and my mom and then got TCBY!

Movement- really strong pushes


Food Craving- was TCBY but I got that satisified!
Food aversions- same ole' wheat and flour. But I am eating the famous eggplant parm this weekend from Scalinis, that is supposed to be magic!
Morning sickness?- not since about week 13 or 14
Gender- Little Lady Kinley
Labor Signs- almost fainted at the dentist the other day and started contracting for a while, but sadly they stopped :( At my 38 week appt the other day I was dilated to 1.5, which isn't much but better than the big fat ZERO last week!
Belly Button-fully out now
What I miss- being pain free, wine, being able to move
What I'm looking forward to- Having a healthy (OUTSIDE) baby girl! and hopefully more progress at my 39 week appt on tuesday
Weekly Wisdom- none this week, just trying to stay positive and not knock out rude people who make rude comments! I need to wear a sign that says: Yes, I am obviously still pregnant, Yes, I am huge and yes I am sure there is only ONE baby in there. I still have two weeks to go and YES obviously I am READY to have this baby. THANKYOUVERYMUCH
Milestones- some dilation and only 15 days until my due date!! Come on Kinley girl, mommy and daddy can't wait to see your precious face :)

(sorry for all the bitchig in this post!)

This has nothing to do with my sweet babe (and I am sure you are all thrilled) but did anyone else read the People article about Heidi Montag? I hate to give into the "hype" but this girl needs some serious therapy!!! Don't get me wrong, I have no problems with a little something here or there but For heaven's sake honey, you are only 23 years old and you have already had 12 plastic surgeries?!? And is already planning on returning again to take her DDD's bigger!!!!!!! She says she wants them to be size "H" for Heidi!  And she didn't even tell her family she was doing it? And Spencer, what a Fabulous husband.........
Someone, please get this girl some help!
Ok, rant over
