Any day now!


Almost on my 38th week and I'm sitting in Panera Bread using the internet because we just moved and do not have Internet set up in our house yet. The move went really well. Makes me so thankful for having such good friends. Special thanks to Chris, Jessi, Stacy, Tyson, Rob, Corn, Seki, and Kate. We really couldn't have done it without you! Not only did our friends help us move but they also tried to make my birthday special by making cupcakes and singing "Happy Birthday". It was so sweet! Also thanks to the girls for calming me down. I had a few panic attacks while moving. LOL! Silly hormones can make you feel crazy.
So we are finally moved in. I'm trying my best to get things unpacked and put in their place without hurting myself. It is SO hard not to over do it. My brain says YES but my body says NO! I'm so ready for this baby to come but on the other hand this house NEEDS to be done first and we still got a lot of other things to do like get the car seat installed, buy a couple more items, paint Zeina's room, go grocery shopping... the list never ends . Ugh! I hope I can get it all done.
I am also so swollen! After the move I noticed my hands hurt so bad if I've been laying down too long. Usually after a nap or in the morning when I wake up I feel like I've been holding a rope for hours. My feet are also a little swollen but it's mostly in my hands which enables me to wear my wedding ring. This gets pretty interesting when I go out by myself. I already look pretty young for my age and then I have this HUGE belly I can't hide if my life depended on it and no wedding ring. I get some interesting looks from people. LOL! From older women I get the "disgusted" look, from younger women I get the "poor thing" look and from men I get the "ALRIGHT!" look. LOL! All are equally uncomfortable. But when I'm with Nick it's a whole different story. haha. Oh well. I haven't gotten any strangers touching my belly or making any inappropriate comments yet. I don't know why but I'm glad. The other day Nick and I were in Home Depot checking out when the cashier ask how far along I was. I answered "I have about 2 weeks to go" the lady responded "I thought so," (I was think oh here we go my first you look like you're gonna pop comment) she continued "cause it looks like you've dropped a little" FFFFFFFEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!! I think that is the nicest way to say you are having the baby soon. It actually kinda made me feel good, like I accomplished something. LOL. I don't know I guess I'm weird. haha.
I have another one of my weekly appointment today. Just a routine checkup so I'm sure everything is okay. Just waiting. ANY DAY NOW! until next time.
PS- Oh ya belly belly has finally hit 40". Geez it took about 2 months to grow an inch

9 MONTHS WOO WOO!!!!





YAY! Finally 9 months, it feels so good to say that. Everything so far has gone exactly the way it's supposed to almost to textbook. :D I just hope and prey that the next few weeks go just as smoothly. We are moving this weekend and you better believe I am so happy. By next week EVERYTHING should be put away and ready for our new addition. FFFFFEEEEEEWWWWW! We are so ready and I'm pretty sure Zeina is ready to be out too. I've been measuring myself since the beginning and it seems my tummy hasn't left the 39" measurement since 30 weeks so I've been the same size for about 6 weeks now and I'm sure she is getting really cramped in there. The big 36 week appointment is this week so I should get a good idea on how big she is so far and know a little more about how she is doing. I'll keep you all updated. Until next time

6 more weeks and SO excited I could pee!


So there are six more weeks till Zeina's due date but I have a feeling she's coming early...I'm gonna say about 5 days. I am so excited I can't wait. Our anniversary is tomorrow, my birthday is in about 3 weeks and we are moving on the 25th. I thought all this was going to just fly by but it seems as if it's "groundhog day" every day. GRRRRR! The last two weeks were so hard to get through. With being SO tired, body aches, and overwhelmed with moving I though I was going crazy. I actually woke up one day and swore my insides were bruised cause they hurt so bad. I guess it could happen...weird? I'm happy to say that I'm feeling MUCH better this week. Even though my body is still achy with all the stretching, I think I'm getting used to it. And I'm actually not scared or nervous anymore about labor and delivery. I'm actually kinda looking forward to it. I think my focus is now on seeing her and holding her, and thoughts of looking ridiculous or doing something embarrassing are taking a back seat. And it also helps that Nick isn't thinking about that stuff either. He just wants me to have a healthy delivery and wants to see her and really could care less about anything else. We had our birthing class and tour of the hospital about a week ago and we really LOVED our hospital. It just felt very welcoming, they even have a bed for Nick to sleep in in the recovery and delivery rooms!!! I'm feeling very confident now that I know what to expect on Zeina's birthday(s). :D YAY! I'm feeling her move just as much but the blows are much less intense as she's running out of space to move. As I stopped growing for the last month she continues to grow. I think she kinda gets a little frustrated in there sometimes. She's probably thinking "WHAT THE HECK! what happened to my room?" LOL! Poor thing but at least I don't feel her karate kicks to my ribs and other organs as hard anymore. Well that's all for now. I start my weekly appointments this week. Keep you updated. Until next time
