34 weeks and I am ginormous

Okay, I was smiling in this picture, until I saw the picture. I mean, sweet lord I am huge! Jeebus!

So, what is new? David is still enjoying kicking the same spot over and over but I'd rather feel him kicking then worry about why he ISN'T kicking. I am getting much bitchier, I've noticed. I still am crying a lot. It is weird, because now it is like if I don't cry once a day, I will just cry because I haven't cried yet. It is like I need my daily dose of tears to get stress and stuff out. Weird.

I am so gasy and it is pissing me off because it makes me crampy and then I wonder if it is just gas or labor. Being pregnant is so much tougher than people realize.

Yeah, I know I look like hell in this picture, but I wanted to show off the baby sling my mom got for me. I put GIR in it, only because it is easier to clean than the Snugli carrier we got (also from my rockin' mom). I can't wait to put David in here and breastfeed! Only 6 more weeks to go, just a month and a half!!!!

Sleeping is getting hard again. My hips are just soo in the way and I am finding it hard to position my arms in a comfy way too.

Man, my face looks so fat...

So, according to pregnancy sites the baby weighes about 5 pounds and is 20 inches long. David sure feels bigger than that!

33 weeks and can't sleep

It is 6:33 in the morning and I can't sleep. I am itchy, thirsty, and David is kicking my ribs (his new favorite thing to do). I keep saying "I don't know if I can take two more months of this." It is so true. It is like, I want him to come out and be healthy now, but I am scared of giving birth. I mean, I know he is going to be a BIG baby, and I am afraid I am going to tear really bad. I hope I don't, I hope I have an easy labor to compensate for the horendous pregnancy I have had. LOL! Somehow, I doubt it.

Shaun took me out to eat at the Outback last night. I ate so much, it isn't funny. I ate that whole loaf of bread you get, lots of the bloomin' onion, a jacket potato, pretty much all of an 8 oz. steak, plus four glasses of strawberry lemonade. I also got a piece of cheesecake to go (ate that when I got home). Granted, that was all I ate that day, so I guess it isn't too bad. But yeah, I felt like such a fatty afterwards.

Went to the doctor's on Friday and got another lovely exam. He said, and I quote:

"The baby's head is extremely low. Those crampings are doing something."

He didn't tell me what he meant by that, but Shaun's mom thinks it means my cervix is starting to thin out. I have been cramping so much these last couple days, but I can't tell if it is because of the baby or because of gas. LOL!

Oh yeah, I am now up to 219! Ugh. That is 47 pounds. Good lord, I am going to have to be working out like crazy after David is born. Let's try and keep it under 60 pounds. I have lost 60 pounds before with Tae bo! It only took me 3 weeks, and no, I wasn't even starving myself. Not even dieting. Tae Bo is a god send, I swear. Well, I will add a picture later on tonight.

32 weeks (8 mo.) yesterday

I am getting so big now! I will update again on Friday when I go to the doctors. I am scared to see how much weight I gained.

I went to the hospital on Friday from chest pain, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath. They couldn't tell me what was wrong, but my friends and parents believe it is stress, and I now agree.

David should be approx. 4 pounds and between 14-19 inches long. According to pregnancy calendars, I should be gaining a pound a week from now on (at least!).

31 weeks today

Today I am 31 weeks pregnant and I only have 9 more weeks until little David is here. Shaun had a dream last night and David came to him and said that he would be born on either March 29th or March 30th, so we shall see.

My mom spent all day planning my babyshower, but won't give me any of the details. :(

I have been eatting nothing but chili for the last couple of days so I am forcing myself to eat Mac and Cheese because I don't want heartburn.

David is practicing karate in my belly, I swear! It is very creepy because my stomach moves around like some X-Files stuff is going on. Alien Baby!!!!
