Week 36 babybump

This is week 36 ! Ahhhhh! In less than a month, I will be a mommy. It feels great to know that I am almost at the finish line. I have my midwife appointments once a week and another milestone is coming up this saturday: I'll be 37 weeks- full term. I will be sure to eat a few cupcakes in celebration of that wonderful week.

• I hate the clothes I have to wear now.

My "maternity" shirts no longer fit my stomach properly.. My belly is always playing peekaboo!

[I'm wearing my husbands shirt in the pictures] 

• The urge to pee is one of the worst sensations of my day.

My stomach is in so much pain when my bladder is really full. I feel like i'm going to explode!

• I'm tired majority of the time. 

I'm not extremely tired, but normally I can run on like 5 hours of sleep. Give me 5 hours of sleep and you can almost guarantee that i'll be taking a nap a few hours after I wake up. Today I only slept 4 hours. Cleaned up my entire room and then slept from 12PM to 4:30PM. I'm still kind of sleepy :(

My mom took these pictures. God knows I don't like it when other people take my pictures because I would shoot them a little differently then they would. Oh well. I have a tripod now! So week 37/38's babybump picture will be shot by yours truly. :)                                             Look at the ducklings and their Mama. She's such a good mama.

BB 27/28 + babyshower thrifting

On my 28th week of pregnancy we (my mom and I) decided to get serious about planning this baby shower. It's going to take place February 16th so we have to get moving! A few of my family members went for a ride to the Goodwill and salvation army to see what we could find.                                                                                       We found a few good things we could use mixed into all this junk.                                                                          Gold plate under some junk.

                             

Random dude, in my way.

 I enjoyed taking my camera out in public. It's something to get used to because you think people may be staring at you, wondering, "Why is this chick walking around with a big bulky camera?"   My family made me feel a thousand times more comfortable. We found a bunch of stuff for the shower... Mason Jars, about 9 Vase's, A picnic basket.. I'll elaborate later.. but all of that stuff only came up to $60- Yea I know! I love me a deal!                  & Now for the bump talk. My baby girl seems to be doing fine.. Some days she doesn't kick as much, but I think it's just because she has a lot less room for aerobics now days. She's not rolling as much, mostly kicking and jabbing. She has the hiccups 3-5 times per week, sometimes multiple times during the day. It's a really annoying feeling but at the same time I enjoy it because I get to experience her being active inside of me.

My belly is still small. I am noticeably pregnant but most women who are 7 months pregnant seem to be a bit bigger than I am. I'm fine with that though. The only thing I'm not particularly fine with is people reminding me how small I am for 7 months every two seconds (Don't you worry- I promise not to bite your head off if someone happens to say that in the comments section)

Oh yea, I'm addicted to sweets. I normally am not the type of girl to eat something sweet before I've had an actual meal.. but now I can't help myself. It's as if sweets are calling my name on a daily basis. I ate 5 doughnuts within 2 days. I went to starbucks today and got a lemon cake just because it looked good. Lemon cakes aren't even my thing.. I'm more of a chocolate kind of girl... but I tore that lemon cake up!

11 more weeks left for this pregnancy.. I can't help but think that maybe I'll have her at 38 weeks, then it'll only be 9 weeks ::oh my gosh!:: I want her to come after 40 weeks though, I want my baby to be completely healthy and ready to come out.. but sometimes shit just happens.                          I'm nervous because I don't have the essential items I need for her yet (I'm getting more stuff on my baby shower & the big purchases after). I am wondering why I haven't started her scrap book yet. & I still need to plan out my maternity photos.. I'm taking them myself! xoxo
