Bloggie Update!
So I started my mat leave a month ago now... You'd think I would have found the time to update my blog before now.. but no. My time has been spent watching 6 seasons of greys... Learning to bake homemade bread.. And crafting. So basically I have been doing nothing.. All day, every day. I am SO ready for this baby girl to be here. It probably would have been smarter to work right up until my due date.. But I just physically could not do it anymore. Doing exams was becoming so painful and I would get contractions and shooting pains throughout the day, so I just had to stop. But now what? Being a stay at home mom is the most boring thing ever.. when your not even a mom yet!
34 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 19 lbs
Maternity clothes? Ha.. Always. My husbands clothing doesn't even fit me anymore.. It's so embarassing. On Saturday Ryan put on a t-shirt and he was swimming in it.. It was huge and baggy in the arms, shoulders, belly.. everywhere. So he came into the living room and asked "Uh.. Carly? Did you stretch out one of my shirts?"... I was so horrified that I was big enough to stretch out Ryan's shirt so much.. Until I realized that it wasn't Ryans shirt.. It was actually our brother in laws shirt.. Who wears a tall XL!! I was so embarassed that Ryan thought I was big enough to stretch out his shirt that much... Thanks for the vote of confidence thinking I was such a large elephant Ry ;)
Stretch marks? None.. yet.
Sleep: Ugh.. Sleep. I was getting the worst heartburn at night where I'd be getting up 4-6 times in a night choking on stomach acid and coughing it up.. It was so gross. I finally went and got some extra strength acid reflux medicine and it has felt SO much better!! Oh.. And I read this tip online that I am dying to try.. Since it gets so hard to roll over or even move near the end of a pregnancy, a girl suggested that you buy silk sheets and silk pj's.. Making it easy and slippery to turn over in bed!
Best moment this week: YouTube'ing videos of babies born at 34 weeks.. I was crying the whole time thinking "This could be my baby! A real baby.. They look real at 34 weeks!" It is blowing my mind how she could be born tomorrow and be a healthy baby girl!
Movement: Errday.. All day

Cravings: None.. Kind of over that. I have zero desire to eat vegetables but I think that's more me being a fatty face than anything pregnancy related :)
Gender: Baby girl!!!! She has the cutest name :) We always call her it when no ones around so I have to be careful when I'm in public so I don't ruin the surprise!
Labor Signs: None.. Just labor dreams... I've been waking up in the middle of the night from dreams that I am going into labor.. Just to realize that I really have to pee and I'm not in labor
Belly Button in or out? Out.. All the time and you can see it through my shirt. Reaaaal cute

Wedding Rings On or Off? OFF!! Such a sad day.. I knew it was coming for a long time.. Then last week Ry and I were at Wal Mart and I noticed my hand was hurting and I looked down and noticed me ring finger was purple and the rest of my hand/fingers were pale.. So so sad. It took forever to get my wedding rings off and then we went to Claire's and I bought a cutesy little 6 dollar ring.. Oh well.. Just as long as my fingers go back to normal after delivery I'll be okay
What I miss: Being able to move! Seriously so uncofortable.. All.The.Time

What I am looking forward to: Holding my precious baby girl :) And seeing her with her dad :)
Weekly Wisdom: Stop fluids before 7pm... Or else there's no hope of sleeping that night!
Other than being a fatty face prego I really haven't been up to much lately. For anyone who is curious, I will be having the baby in Lethbridge so if anyone ever wants to stop by for a visit I will be at my moms house! And would be very happy to have someone to hangout with :) Being a stay at home mom can be lonely I am starting to realize... Hopefully it gets more exciting once I actually become a mom!
Thats all for now :)
Love Car!
