I feel like an insane person. I am finding it hard to control my emotions and am 98% positive that my baby is using a grapefruit spoon to dig her way out of me. I constantly worry that Harrison will hate me when the baby is here and feel like there are 19823958 things on my mind. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely can't wait to meet Harper and feel so lucky to be growing our family, but with big change so near it can be overwhelming and scary.
How far along? 36 weeks
Maternity clothes? Are maternity crop tops a thing? Because it seems that's my latest fashion statement.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: 😂
Best moment(s) this week: Another healthy check-up at the doctor and lots of family time.
Miss Anything? Feeling comfortable...
Movement: She is less active, but her movements are strong, uncomfortable, and usually painful. She likes to kick her little foot out and then drag it across my uterus several times a day.
Food cravings: Apple slices and cereal.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing in particular makes me sick, but most normal dinner items just aren't appetizing right now.
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks, strong ones, all the time. My doctor said that my cervix isn't doing anything yet, but I disagree and am pretty sure she's going to just fall out of me at any moment.
Symptoms: Being uncomfortable 24/7, pregnancy brain (I have to write EVERYTHING down), extra sensitive (emotionally), feeling stressed, and hungry + full at the same time.
Belly Button in or out? What belly button?
Wedding rings on or off? On, but getting tighter.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody, no doubt about it. I know this will pass, and I can't believe this pregnancy is almost over, but I'm ready for these hormones to hit the road.
Looking forward to: Sharing Harper's nursery! This room was Harrison's before we switched him over to the larger room that used to be our guest room/office. We figured a baby didn't need as much space as a toddler, and it was already painted so we could work with what what had. When I started planning her nursery I focused on colors - blush pink, dark greens, gray, and gold. Everything evolved from those colors (and a lot of picture texting with friends) and turned into Harper's room. There were many Target runs and the amount of returns they must see when they run my card is embarrassing, but everything slowly came together and I can't wait to bring our sweet baby girl back to her nursery that we created with love and only a little bit of complaining.
