34 weeks. Lots of rambling and clothes!

34 weeks today. 6 weeks to go until my due date. a part of me thinks I will not make it that long. Im already starting to have contractions plus this is my 4th baby in such a short time. maybe things will go a little faster?

Monday and Tuesday were fantastic days. I started nesting and I got a bunch of things cleaned and organized. Now I plan on giving the kids' rooms a makeover. Its very much needed. Lets hope though I get a 2nd wind cause today I am exhausted and sore.

Had an appt with Susan yesterday. Its been 4 weeks since I got to see her last. We just had conflicting schedules. anyway. Im up 4 more pounds. grand total of 37 pounds. yuck!

baby is still head down, back still on the left side. Been there every single appt. She said he/she feels to be on the bigger side which is expected anyway with my kids. Im measuring 2 weeks ahead still. everything looks great!

She gave me the birth kit list so I ordered that yesterday. Have to go to walmart to finish picking up a few things that will be cheaper than ordering online. Have to have everything in hand by 36 weeks. CRAZY!

I finally got around to taking pics of the clothes I have for the baby. I will definitely have to get more once he/she is here. Lets hope I am feeling up to it!

most of it is 3/6m too. blah! that isnt going to help me NOW.

Carters. picked this up at OUAC. Cheap, cute and perfect for the weather. Just have to find a onesie to go underneath it

Gymboree. Got this for $5.99 w/30% off during their peel a prize sale a while back. What a DEAL! couldnt pass it up
2 outfits I picked up at Old Navy right in the very beginning of the pregnancy
must have gowns. these are a lifesaver for night time diaper changes!
here is some gender neutral gowns. only will use these as backups cause I really hate GN things :x

this is a lot that I just bought on ebay yesterday. all of this for $20!
2 outfits I recently picked up at Target. I am so loving the dress/leggings look. Tiler wore a few of those this past winter. looking forward to doing that again with her and definitly if this is a girl

My favorite Gymboree line- Imaginary Friends. Unfortunately the smallest size it comes in is 3/6m
Gap dress/leggings set. This was bought right in the beginning
another Gap/leggings set
soft sole shoes. got a fantastic deal at TRU


Gymboree- Petite Fleur, so cute! and this line runs small so hopefully this will fit right away

girly gowns
Gymboree- same as the boy ones $5.99 w/30% off
Old Navy- same as the boys one listed above
another Old Navy



Gymboree. Got this on sale and had a coupon. VERY good deal on it and I LOVE rompers for little babies

Cupcake Cutie (3/6m). this runs small too. Tiler had this same outfit. debating on getting it again. I know I will HAVE to if this is a girl. They have to match :)
I can't remember this line name. oops. But I love brown/pink combos so this was a no brainer purchase
more Imaginary Friends from Gymboree

34 week pic.

wow, just realized how crappy most of these pictures I took today are. All well. nobody is perfect :)

33 weeks!

7 weeks and counting now. well about 6 weeks 5 days now (47 days) since I am late once again posting this.
Duh at me, I just realized that I posted all these pics of my diaper stash, well what about all the clothes I have accumulated over the weeks. I will get pics probably later today.
I know I am set if I have a girl, but I am severely slacking on boy stuff. I guess since I think im having a girl I want to stock up on girly things. but watch since I am unprepared for a boy that is what I will have. haha.
I guess I am not SET on clothes. I have enough stuff to get through just about a week, well depending on how big the baby is. so once I do have the baby we can go shopping and stock up on a wardrobe. I have several gowns for both boy and girl so I am set for pajamas, but during the days I like to get the baby dressed in an actual outfit.

I was suppose to have an appt this past Tuesday with my midwife but after she didnt show up I called her to make sure everything was ok. She took a vacation day and forgot to call me haha. no big deal though, nothing exciting going on and im so used to these appts its rather boring which is a good thing. Not like I WANTED to step on the scale or anything like that lol

im battling water retention like nobodys business, so I was a bit nervous for when I was suppose to have my appt. but the last couple days ive done a good job releasing some of that retention. according to my scales I have gained 34 pounds. I guess that is not too bad. I am definitely looking forward to losing it since its ALL in my hips, butt and thighs @@ At least its not in my face like it was when I was pregnant with my boys. I barely looked like myself with my 12 chins Well with the boys it was my ENTIRE body, so that is another reason I think this is a girl. not too much longer.

Here is my only full body shot from this pregnancy. Got a new mirror, not hung up yet so I dragged it out to my living room lol
I was walking past a mirror the other day at a store and for the first time I realized I am sticking straight out like a round basketball. im so used to being so "full". I think it looks kind of silly haha

Diaper Stash

FINALLY got the diaper stash done. I had no ambition to finish dyeing and sewing the diapers to make it complete but I finally got off my butt and whipped everything out in 4 days. I dyed the diapers originally a few months ago, but the minute I washed them they got super faded. I re-dyed them this past Thursday and although they are a *tad* darker, they still faded ALOT :(
All well. at least they are functional and still semi cute.
the pics are all out of order, but here they are.
Im focusing more on size small, since my last 2 babies were bigger and Bennett was out of the newborn size within a week. I guess I can only hope for the sake of my bank acct that this baby follows suit

Only 8 more weeks to go, Hallelujah!

Today has been a horrible day, or should I say horrible week I've had. Im hot, uncomfortable, in pain most of the day, not sleeping well and to top it off my kids are just not normal. I know I am stressed out and I think its just rubbing off on them, cause calgon needs to take me the f*** away! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Just gotta love these pregnancy hormonal rages, I know its typical for me the further along I get, but it doesn't make it any easier.
Ive been having so many braxton hicks contractions ive lost count. I have had I think 3 painful contractions on top of it. I still have 8 weeks until my due date so I will be getting plenty of these over the next weeks. Im not worried about it though. had early/non productive contractions with my last one. I think its just cause my body knows what to do.
Hmm.. wonder if this baby will just fall out then LOL. Kinda nervous to see how labor will come about. My last two were 4 and 5 hours long. I think Bennett would have came quicker if he was in the correct position (he was posterior) and I was stuck at 9-9 1/2 for at least an hour and a half. Crossing fingers I don't have another birth like that!
Well here is my pic for week 32.

8 months!

on to week 31. Actually I am 31.2 weeks today. got a little behind, surprise surprise.
I can't believe how exhausted I am. I totally forgot, but this is killing me. And because of that my kids are taking full advantage of it. Its been a bad week to say the least!
This week I have managed to pack on 5 POUNDS! WHAT???
I think a lot of it has to do with water retention. I am swelling up which is typical for me, especially with this heat. and I am not getting enough sleep which that will cause me to gain weight. I am ready for this to be over!

This is a crappy pic I took right at 31 weeks. its really dark. I don't think much has changed since last week.
