labor of love

i am 29.5 weeks today. my back is killing me, i think i may have pulled a muscle carrying kitty litter thru the grocery store. glamorous, huh!? i know, i know…20 lbs and i shouldn’t have even pulled it off the shelf, but Come Oooon. UGH! i am tired of feeling so helpless. a lot of my friends have said they loved this part of pregnancy. the not lifting a finger and having everyone wait on you and and foot stuff…not me! oh well. 10 more weeks…”ish”

baby girl is growing and growing. i still feel kicks, plenty of them BUT she has new tricks on the table. with her room becoming ever smaller for her growing little body i am really starting to feel her every move. i can feel the pressure of her limbs as she drags them from one side of my tummy to the other. it is like a deep pressure along my tissue and i can see it lump up on the surface as she moves across. it feels so strange and so amazing. she is never still.

at 25 weeks matt and i had an ultrasound to get some additional measurements on our little sweetie. she had really changed since the last u/s. she was very active but still had her feet all the way up at her head, she is quite flexible :) unfortunately her position was also breech and not very helpful in getting the measurements they needed. soo, we will see her again on the big screen one last time at 35 weeks. here are some of her “glamour” shots from week 25!

yep…i am getting pretty darn big! but what can you do?! eat blue bell and roll with the punches… :)

i have had a few hiccups, road bumps and emotional ordeals as of late. more to come on those soon…but for now-i truly cannot wait to hold my baby girl. i love her so much already – more every day. sweet little Pea…mommy is so ready to meet you!

you look great! nope - you shouldn't be lifting heavy stuff while prego...b/c next time you are prego you WILL have to lift heavy things. like your 24 pound one year old! ;) And I think I cried from 32 weeks on. At least every day. I was an emotional wreck. and swollen. and uncomfortable. So - even if you don't "loooove" the third trimester - it's ok - you will loooove that little girl inside of you!
