40 Weeks

Pregnancy Update

40 weeks along & -1 day to go. Yep, the due date came & went with no action. I'm dying. I thought for sure she would be early. 

I have an OB appointment in the morning. We may be scheduling an induction. Let's hope I go into labor before then!

We took Warren to Famous Dave's over the weekend.  This kid loves BBQ!  Me, not so much, but it turns out they have amazing burgers!  A win-win :)

Warren snuggled up in my bed yesterday morning



Why are the last couple weeks of pregnancy so hard?  I'm ready to go right now.  I keep hoping to go into labor, but the truth is... two weeks is still a long time to wait.  UHHHGGGG!

37 Weeks

Pregnancy Update

37 weeks along & 3 more weeks to go

Work out mileage this week:  Ya right!  That is not happening right now.  I can barely muster the energy to get up and go to the bathroom.

Cravings:  Cheeseburgers & ice cream

Weight gain thus far:  28 lbs, YIKES!  I wanted to keep it at 25, but it's coming on fast now.  Hopefully this kid comes early; I noticed this morning how plump my face has gotten and I'm not loving it.

Check out the flowers my awesome husband sent me today for no particular reason.  Thanks Babe, I needed that!
I honestly don't know how I worked right up until I went into labor last time.  It's killing me this time!  I'm really over it.  I'm ready to go home for the day at about 2:00 PM every afternoon.  It's going to be a very LONG 3 weeks!

Alone again... naturally

My Holiday Weekend Recap

Mike wanted to go camping over Memorial Day weekend.  I decided I am far too pregnant and uncomfortable to be camping at this point.  Sleeping on the ground in a cold tent and having to get up several times a night to hike to the bathroom does not sound like a good time at 36 weeks pregnant!  I (bravely) opted to stay home, all by myself, and let the boys enjoy the great outdoors. 

This was the first time I had spent the night away from Warren.  Yep, that's right.  Take that in for just a moment.  It's been 2 years and 7 months since I've been alone for more than an hour or two.  It was heaven!  Don't get me wrong, I love my family, but I really love spending quality time with me, myself & I!  I scheduled a prenatal massage Saturday afternoon (amazing).  I ate crappy food with no concern about what anybody else would eat.  I went shopping and didn't worry about how long I had been in the store.  I watched HGTV and Real Housewives without anybody whining, "can we watch something else?". 

While Warren was out of the house, I took the opportunity to turn his old nursery into the new nursery.  It turned out pretty darn cute!  I only have a crappy iPhone picture right now, but promise to take better pictures later (Mike had the Nikon on his camping trip).



































When Warren got home and saw the new nursery he promptly informed me that the crib is his bed and the baby is not allowed to sleep in his bed.  Classic. 

On another note, my Grandma Kurtz turned 95 on Sunday.  Happy birthday Grandma; I wish I could have been there!  Here she is celebrating with a couple of her kids/kids-in-law:



































She's amazing!

36 Weeks

Pregnancy Update

36 weeks along and 4 weeks to go (can you believe it?)

Work out mileage this week: 2 miles - totally lame of me.  I have no excuse other than I've been a lazy a-hole.

Cravings: Candy, Candy Bars - in particular the Whatchamacalit, LOVE!

Weight gain thus far: about 25lbs, I think.  I forgot to weigh myself this morning.  I feel like it's coming on fast and furious now and I'm a little bit terrified.

This morning's pic, complete with a Warren photo bomb:

Some other fun stuff

A quick look at the baby's new quilt:


Warren successfully transitioned into his big-boy room over the weekend.  He's been doing great and staying in bed all night!


Here's a quick video of the big guy tearin' it up on his trike:
