It's Official...I'm a bitchy pregnant woman

I'm over it.  I don't want to be pregnant anymore.  I know I have so much to be grateful for, but I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of...

• living in the bathroom
• my aching back
• these crazy intense groin pains that I've recently started getting (apparently from my ligaments stretching and her head dropping)
• 2.5 hour weekly doctor appointments
• not being able to work out
• no raw sushi, lunch meat, wine, wine, or wine
• and most of all...maternity clothes

Hopefully I am just having a moment of weakness today and this mood won't last until she's here.  12 more days!

On a happier note, I had a doctor's appointment yesterday.  Parkers weight hasn't changed and she still looks great.  It looks like she has really long skinny feet and no hair.  ha!  She was also sporting a guns up with her hand. I screamed I was so giddy.  Pretty sure the sonographer thought I was nuts.  Not gonna lie, I was thinking, I can't wait to brag to JP about this.  And then her little index finger went down and her hand went from a gun to a gig em.  Like she was telling me, I got
daddy's back too.  Of course the sonographer only got a pic of the gig em.

Her thumb is on the right

 

Parker's Nursery

Quick pregnancy update before I get to her nursery. 

PK is growing!  Per the sonographer, she has gained a pound from last week and Dr. D says she looks beautiful.  I feel like my stomach is growing by the hour too!  So as of now, no need to schedule an induction.  Yay!

Onto her nursery...

I love the way her nursery turned out.  I still have some finishing details but you get the idea.

 

 

Parker - your room and parents are waiting on you!

 

37 weeks

Wow, I haven't blogged in so long.  I don't even know where to start.  I can't believe we are 20 days out from her due date. 

 

We have still been super busy getting everything ready before she gets here.  We have finished her nursery and the back yard (pics to come soon), packed for the hospital, installed the car seats (why is that so hard?) and assembled all things PK.  I guess we are as ready as we are gonna get!

Pregnancy updates...

 

• I've started going to the doctor weekly now.  As of last week, P-nut is measuring 1.5 weeks small at 5.5 pounds (doesn't seem small to me!)  The doc is watching her growth closely now.  She hooks me up to the fetal monitor each visit which takes forever.  They have to get so many minutes of a continuous heart rate which is hard to do when you have an active baby.  My machine kept making a failure beep because Parker would move and it couldn't detect her heart rate.  Anyway, apparently docs don't like it if they think the baby isn't growing in the womb anymore.  Dr. D said she will want to induce early if this is the case.  I really do not want to be induced for multiple reasons, but I'm no doctor so we will see how it goes. 
• Nightly bathroom trips are 3-4 times now
• I have major acid reflux, but it doesn't hurt.  The only symptom is regurgitation.  Gross, I know.  I cannot eat within two hours of bed or I'm up all night.  I guess God is preparing me for little sleep.
• I can't run anymore.  Saturday was the first time I wasn't able to.  Too much pressure now which is a bummer.  Walking is lame.

I have another appointment tomorrow...hopefully she's still growing and all looks good.  I will try to keep the blog updated.  No promises. 

 

I can't believe we will have a baby so soon!!  God is good. :)
