So I wanted to make sure I got down the differences in this pregnancy compared to my last three! It has been really different and really the same in so many ways... I know that doesn't make sense!
*I have hardly had any back pain, my last three I felt my back hurt all the time and I was constantly asking McKay for back rubs, this one only every once in a while!
*I have had a hard time breathing with this one especially when I lay on my back or certain sitting positions, I have never had that previously!
*My feet swell all the time! I can only remember twice in my previous pregnancies!
*He is by far my most active baby, which has been really comforting!
*I need food in the mornings or I feel really nausea all day!
* I was sick the longest with this kid but I still have never thrown up!
*I have had Braxton Hicks/contractions going since week 32... some days I don't have any, some days a few and some days they go on all day but at night I never notice them! I never got them in my previous pregnancies!
*The kids have been so excited for this little guy to come! They talk to him, blow raspberries on my belly, kiss my belly, constantly ask if he is coming soon! I love that they are so into this and that they can't wait to meet him!
*I never have to wake up in the middle of the night to pee, with Baylee I was going twice a night, Carter once a night and I can't tell you what a world of difference it makes to not have that urge to go! It has been awesome!
*I have had a really hard time sleeping at night! Most nights I sleep horrible, tossing and turning, getting to hot or both my arms going numb! I don't think it will change much once the baby gets here but I don't remember getting this crappy of sleep with the others!
*I love that I get to see this guy every week since 30 weeks, because of my history I go for weekly NST's (non-stress test) and AFI's (amniotic fluid index) starting at 30 weeks till the end and some weeks doing it twice!
*I get HOT all the time! I swear I am 30 degrees above every one else!
*I passed all my tests!
*I have been so tired with this pregnancy, partly because I sleep horrible at night and partly due to my very busy schedule with work, softball, doctor appointments and spending time with my kids! McKay knows once 10 p.m. hits I need to go to bed! Half the time I fall asleep on the couch watching t.v. with him!
A picture of our cute little guy!
In the blue shirt I am at 33 weeks and in the purple I am at 36 weeks 5 days! So basically 4 weeks apart!
McKay moving the crib into our room, he decided it was finally crunch time!
No but really McKay has been awesome and a really big help! He would do anything I ask and then he still puts up with all my weirdness! He constantly is making drink runs to Cottonwood for me 10 minutes before they close and bringing me lunch and snacks so I can eat at work, it has saved me on so many days!
I have been extra anxious along with my kids for this little guy to arrive! My other kids I was always excited to see them but I was never in a rush to get them here I was okay with being pregnant and seeing them when the time was to come! This pregnancy I have still enjoyed being pregnant but I have gotten to the point I am just so ready to meet him and show him off to Baylee and Carter because of their excitement! We will be patient though! I really just want him here and healthy! So here is to the end! YAY!
