Temporary Fix

New layout for now :) Still haven't gotten my stuff together to make something myself. I just had to get rid of those darn snow flakes though!!

My one and only post to b*tch

So I have tried my best not to complain about anything throughout this pregnancy. And frankly, I really haven't had much to complain about! It's been a pretty smooth ride and I feel just incredibly blessed that a. I am pregnant and b. it's been very uneventful. I know too many women that have had or are having problems even getting pregnant, maintaining a pregnancy or having a problem free pregnancy.

I've had nauseousness....but it came in waves, wasn't constant, pretty easy to deal with. I was very tired, but that isn't painful and easy to cure with frequent naps. I can't stand for long periods of time without getting dizzy: sit down, cured. A few other minor health scares, but they were managed and taken care of, done.

But, it's come to the time now....near 34 weeks that I have a real complaint:

Rib and back pain.

Ouch!!

It creeped up slowly, occurring only on occasion or when I was in one position too long (usually sitting in a chair). Then it started to come more frequently. Started as only rib pain, then twinges of back pain. NOW it's constant. 24/7. Won't go away. Doesn't matter what position I'm in. It lessens if I am laying down on my side or walking around, but it's still there. It flat out sux! And there is nothing I can do about it. I just have to deal with it.

Ice packs help a little, hot baths help a little, back massages help a little....but that lingering pain just doesn't go away.

And I still have a month and a half to go. Each day just drags on...and it's not like I can just lay in bed all day! I have to work, have to do chores, grocery shop, etc. That's the part that kind of sucks. I just have to endure the pain all day long until I can finally go to bed.

It's all worth it, I know this. Overall, I wouldn't trade it for the world as long as baby is happy and healthy. But, I just needed to vent. I know it's not going to get any better, I just hope it doesn't get too much worse!

Got some pics to post...but camera is MIA at the moment :) Will post later!

Still haven't done it....

Yep, gotta get rid of the snow background. I might as well just do something quick and simple for now. I was hoping to delve into something deeper, but alas, now just may not be the time.

For now, here are some updated pics!

Time for a makeover?

So it's officially spring....I think it's time to knock these snowflakes outta here! We will see what we can throw together!

On a completely random tangent.....I need to bake a loaf of bread. I haven't done so since "the incidient"

Pictures Anyone?

So got some fun pictures to share! We will cut out the chit chat and get right to it:

Nursery


The blank space above the crib will be where we will hang the letters of her name...TBD.... :)

We just love the way everything turned out and couldn't be happier. Just one thing missing....our little girl!!

Cats

Took them for a grooming appointment the other day. They are just so darn furry sometimes and I was just getting fed up of all the tufts of hair flying everywhere! Even 10 minutes after I would brush them, they would still be just shedding hair. Jim has allergies, so it's just a nice reprieve to have a few months of no shedding. They of course look hilarious, but still cute as usual:

Sadie

Devo

Crafts

Yet another project I made for the baby.....cute little hair clips!! Looking forward to putting them in her hair someday!


Belly

I will post an "official" 31 week pics (omg, 31 weeks!!) later. Once I get myself presentable and the hubby gets home to snap a good pic. But here is a "mommy view" pic from yesterday and a 30 week pic from last week (don't mind the messy hair!)

Goodbye feet!

Look at me grow!

So, things are coming together. We have already packed our labor/hospital bags. A little early, perhaps, but it's comforting to know that if God forbid something were to happen, we are prepared and ready to go. Car seat should be arriving this afternoon. We are actually ready for this to happen! But don't get any ideas little girl, we need you to keep cooking for another 9 weeks :)
