I'm 38 weeks pregnant this week, holy cow, I never thought I'd make it past 37 weeks because that's when I had Cooper. I do not want to be one of these pregnant ladies that goes a week or two past her due date because let me tell you what, I'm getting miserable with a week and a half left. Work is busy, well not right at the moment, however it's hard to be at work, my feet and hands are like balloons and my fingertips are tingly ALL THE TIME! I can handle the swollen ankles however my hands are literally driving me crazy all day and night. Sleep has become somewhat of the past because I can't remember the last time I got more than an hour and a half sleep, so I'm definitely ready for this baby to come!
My pregnancy up until this point, or a week ago, has been great! My diagnosis of Cholestasis has been reversed so I do not have this, which is wonderful, however the only good thing that may have come from that was I would have had this baby already, but if he's not done "cooking" yet, then so be it. Heck, I don't think I've even dropped yet, whatever that means...I finished my last Jazzercise class on Thursday, January 30th - 34 weeks pregnant and I'm super excited I made it that far. Since the day I stopped Jazzin though I could feel my energy levels go way down, so I encourage anyone pregnant to get out and do a little exercising..
Look at those Cankles! This was taken last week, I was so embarrassed I couldn't even post it on Instagram!
My blood pressure and all was good at my last appointment so the doctor's did not seem to mind. As I look at my feet right now, they are just as bad as they are in this picture...Tomorrow, I am heading to the Spa to enjoy a Prenatal massage, the same place I went the day before my water broke with Cooper. I'm hoping for the same thing...but most importantly to relax! I can't wait.
Speaking of Cooper, he is getting so big and just cracks me up every day! This morning, he got out of bed, came into our room where I was getting ready for work and just hugged me. First though he has to close all the doors in the house, the gate to the basement was open so he shut that too. I get him something for breakfast and I will set him up on the counter and today I winked at him and all of a sudden he blinks his eyes really hard like he's winking at me, then smiles. It was the cutest thing. And last night, he must have been really tired because about 7:00 he wanted to go in and read books. We read books for a few minutes as we're laying in bed, then he wanted to sing some songs so we sang a few of his favorites - "Bus" (Wheels on the bus), bumblebee song, Twinkle Twinkle and You Are My Sunshine, he falls asleep to me singing this to him all the time and last night as I was singing I started tearing up, he was sleeping by this time but I kept thinking I love this boy so much, how am I going to love another child as much. I know it's hormones and all, because I know I will love this little guy as much but it just amazes me how much we love our children and that we would do ANYTHING for them.
I know he's going to be a great big brother too, I just can't wait for them to meet!
Here are few random pictures I took over the last couple of weeks.
Cooper wanted me to "push" him. I got around his room once, that was it.
I stayed home from work this past Monday as I'm battling another cold, and he wanted to climb on the table.
He pulled this out of his (now his brothers) dresser and wanted to wear it, so he pulled it on over his arms and I got one snap snapped.
Facetiming with Grandma (Bacca) he wanted to push her around in his shopping cart. I think she was getting kind of dizzy.
Oh and the animal crackers...he loves them, he likes to scoop them out into his bowl with a spoon. It keeps him nice and occupied for a good half hour or more. He'll scoop them into his bowl and then dump them back in and so forth.
Loving on Elmo!! He loves Elmo...we have the Sesame Street On Demand so we can watch it anytime we want. He's finally at the age where he'll sit there for about a half hour and actually watch. Sometimes I'll see him get up and start dancing. So cute!
Oh and our suitcase we have yet to pack for the hospital, I have everything ready and set out, but Cooper won't leave the thing along, he loves to push things. I think I might just have to get the one bigger size and pack that so we're ready when this baby is ready!
Again, I am so blessed to have him and our family. I don't know what I would do without them! Now to just name this baby and get his room ready, but we'll have to wait for him to come! Cooper's room is about done, I need to get a few things for the wall. Pictures to come soon, hopefully!
