the bump

As I'm typing this I'm 25.5 weeks and feeling monstrous. I look at my week 10 pics and crave for that tight feelings. Is that weird?

This pregnancy started out the hardest. Not sure if it is because I am older or because it's all the girl hormones but... holy moldy, those 1ST 3 months I was soooo freaking tired and soooo grumpy. My thyroid was all messed up like it normally is when PREGO and I couldn't get enough sleep or toast in my body to feel better. Once 12 weeks rolled around everything got better.... gaining 5lbs a month was a new experience this time around. We shall see how the next couple months go.

I honestly don't have a name that I absolutely love. It's hard!!!

Due July 25th

This little bean.

8 weeks tiny.

Hi there, little nugget.

Welcome to our family.

 

Tomorrow - 3.7.12

So little Briggs, you will be making your way into this crazy, beautiful, ever changing world tomorrow! Yep, that is right. TOMORROW.  Your momma's blood pressure is, well...slightly through the roof and her liver is doing stuff that isn't errr normal? Soooo, tomorrow is the day. Unless of course this balloon that they inserted into my vagina sends me into fast labor tonight. But honestly little Briggsy, I'm so excited. And even though you didn't make it to the fabulous 40 week mark, I'm thrilled! Beyond words. I can't express really whats going on through my big head. Do you have my big head? Oh gosh...

As I sit here, restricted to the couch while your sister and dad play bball...I'm thinking about seeing your eyes for the first time and holding those little buns in my arms and changing diapers and being up ALL night, and knowing things are gonna be tiring, so new, different, crowded, messy, beautiful, funny...things are always funny with your dad around. How big will you be? Will you be a good sleeper like your sister or horrible? Will I be able to breast feed, what should I pack? Will I have to have a c-section? Is this balloon gonna come out tonight? Will you have a ton of hair? No hair? Ahhhh I'm just anxious for you BB. So very anxious. Will you fit into all your mini clothes?

After I told your sister (the famous Lulu) you were coming tomorrow, she said "REALLY TOMORROW? With a huge twinkle in her eye. Then asked if she could start a dog walking business over spring break. I kind of love that, she's not freaked out by you, she's thinking about her new business adventure.

So BB, see you tomorrow. I'll be the one with the newly bleached blonde hair and huge alligator tears rolling down my face. And let's not forget to mention the puddles of tears your daddy gonna spill. And don't take them the wrong way bubbs, those tears are pure, joyful, love tears....because tomorrow our world will forever be changed.

I love you.

Your Momma

PS. Bloggies, if you pray, I would LOVE all the prayers I can get.

I feel ya, Jess

watch em grow

Isn't she the cutest little prego ever?

All. Stinkin. Belly.

We graduated last night from birthing class!

We learned how to breath.

What birthing positions we liked (I enjoy the slow dance).

When on an epidural, pushing is just like pushing out a poo.

Colostrium is liquid gold.

Your partner is your biggest success factor in breastfeeding and could really hurt your leg if you are on drugs and you can't feel him pulling your leg up past your head

(one of my favorite things I learned).

Evergreen has a squatting bar and tubs you can rent.

Castor oil is great for the perineum.

Hmmmm.

I laughed a lot.

Coaster Boy got blinkie a lot.

I love him. A lot.

Piggies

My piggies are about to explode out of my flats.

Colds and Pregnancy

Every stinkin time I cough or sneeze. I pee a little.

I need to start packing an extra pair of undies to work.

Dude.

Fat Guy in a Little Coat

That song keeps playing through my head.

I feel like Tommy boy today, in my plaid (is rad) shirt that's about to bust open.

33 weeks!  Now I just need to squeeze into my stripped dress for my bi-montly update.

7 weeks to go.

Prego Yoga

Tonight, I attempt to yogi-it-up with this preggers.

We are both due in March. She is having a girl. She's an EA too.

We've known eachother for almost 7 years. We call eachother Beav. I totally remember interviewing her at Zango, and what she was wearing. She's like a little sis to me. I love being preggers with her.

We IM eachother ALL day long. 

Is your tail bone sore? What are you eating? Guess what I just ate? I had the craziest dream last night. I'm huge. How  much weight have you gained? Baby names? Have you bought anything yet? Labor classes? Yelling at our husbands. Cereal, caffiene, back aches, cramps, peeing.

If it all works out, BBB will have one pretty girlfriend.

Wish me luck, I haven't worked out in 6+ months.

Thanks Google for the image.

The Joys of being Knocked Up

The joys of being prego:

• I pee a little when I cough (ok last week I peed so much I had a wet circle on my jeans...at work)
• My friend just told me I have a prego booty
• I only get to sleep in one position throughout the night
• When I cross my legs, I can feel my tummy on the top part of my leg
• My monthly weight gain is a positive thing!
• My belly confuses people...beer or baby gut?

Tomorrow we get to stare at BBB for an entire 45 mins.

Big ultrasound.

Makes me excited and nervous all at the same time.

Cuteness

Cutest little preggers ever.

I want her hair...

and maybe those shoes.

i love you pinterest

Can you tell?

That my jeans are not buttoned and the zipper is half way down?

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Knocked Up

Baby Blalock due March 23rd 2012

I haven't eaten this much ever, in my entire life. All I think about is food. And sleep. When I'm sleeping I'm dreaming about food. And when I'm eating I'm dreaming about sleeping.

We thrilled, over joyed, nervous, excited, blessed...so very blessed!

{Off to eat my second bagel and cream cheese of the morning}
