So pregnancy has gotten particularly hard the last few weeks so I apologize for the lateness of this post and that is a two week combination post. But Im thinking as we are moving through these last few weeks there may be more combo posts. But hey, this is my story and Im allowed to write it however I choose :) Also there is no good picture to document these weeks, but this one shows off the bump somewhat. This would be half way through week 34.
How far along? 33/34 weeks
Maternity clothes? Nothing seems to fit anymore. I have one pair of preggy pants that are suitable for wearing in public and a whole lot of sweatpants that make me happy. Im also down to about 3 tops that fit me comfortably. But I am definitely ready to have my body back to a semi normal size, and to be able to bend over and put my shoes on by myself again. Im so so ready for that. I know the road to losing the baby weight can be long, but between nursing and walks, and my awesome work out buddy of a husband, I think I will be able to get back down in a reasonable amount of time.
Sleep: Oh my word, the peeing. Every two hours like clockwork. Occasionally, every hour. And sleep has gotten stressful the last few weeks. I have a hard time falling asleep and then the whole time Im sleeping, I never fall completely asleep and I dont feel Rylan moving so then I have all this stress while sleeping and I just cant seem to make sleeping a peaceful experience. I just keep reminding myself that this little beautiful boy will be in my arms so so soon.
New this week: His movement has become slower and more spaced out. He is running out of room so his little limbs can be seen from space it seems like. Also just a sense of overall discomfort. Ive hit large and miserable it seems like.

Best moment this week: Nothing baby related, but we had a fancy dinner for Nic's job this past week and the spouses were supposed to join the employees so I went with him. I was sitting across the table from his boss' wife and another employee's wife. I, being pregnant, was a great conversation piece, which also helped break that awkward ice thats always there at these kinds of things. So we are sitting there discussing my kid and how pregnancy is going and they both start telling me their labor stories and all of the grossness that went along with it, and then the one says, "Oh when I was pregnant everyone tried to tell me their stories and I was like no thank you, I dont want to hear it!" I thought to myself, "Then why the heck are you telling me your terrifying stories?" Oh man. I got a good laugh in the car with Nic on the way home over that one.
Miss Anything? Not being tired. Yup. Thats a big one. And having normal size ankles.
Cravings: Yogurt. Lots of yogurt. With granola in it. So Ive been eating that quite a bit. And Coke. I cannot stop craving Coke. In any form. Frozen. in a glass. Ill take whatever Nic will let me have.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing this week. Ive been feeling pretty good stomach wise.
Wedding rings on or off? Still off. Im currently wearing Nic's extra band for Marine Corps maintenance so that I dont look like a preggo teen. lol.
Looking forward to: Seeing this little miracle's face. And hearing his little voice and his giggle for the first time. Those are the biggest ones. Also, getting to share him with our families and to see the love that they will have for him as well. I really just cant wait to meet him.
And thats the bumpdate!
