Oh Baby We're Gettin' Close!



Well since baby is going to be here in 3-5 weeks I thought I'd do a classic "pregnancy post" as to not disappoint anyone. Here I am about to burst it seems at 35 weeks! However, I'm feeling great, nothing to complain about, no swollen limbs, achy back, leg cramps etc so far, but I guess I may have a couple weeks before all that comes. ? The "extra baggage" in the front is getting a little old I must say, and I find myself fantasizing about doing hundreds of crunches and other such things. :) BUT, I'm focusing on the positive and this is what I do like about pregnancy I've decided.

1. Maternity Pants, now, they aren't so bad. I don't have to worry about forgetting to zip my zipper up after going to the bathroom. It's awesome. I seemed to have done that frequently before I was pregnant:(

2. I've become even more health conscious. It's not that I ate unhealthy before, but being pregnant I've really tried to watch what I'm eating, how much, etc.. After all, I'm eating for a little guy too! It's become a good habit and hopefully one I can keep at!

3. The "expectant mother" parking spot at the local grocery store. Thought it was the dumbest thing before I was pregnant, now I'm thinking, hmmmmm, not such a bad idea. I just used it the other day at a packed full parking lot. I was in no mood to shop which isn't uncommon. I hate shopping. Even though I'm perfectly capable of walking from the back of the lot, it was rather convenient and I was okay with it.

4. Feeling him move. He's been moving lots and lots lately and I love it. I couldn't feel him move until I was almost 24 weeks, not sure why, and it always worried me. Now I'm worried he is going to kick right through me sometimes! He likes to jab his foot at my ribs as of late, but I'm grateful to know he is okay in there:)

I love that you have been fantasizing about crunches. That has been my dream for months. Only a few more weeks until I can.
You are so cute pregnant. I am a little jealous, but so happy for you.
Good luck with next few weeks!
