37 weeks

Aright baby! It's safe for you to come out now! But please don't feel like you are in a hurry, we still have to celebrate your big brothers birthday!

She is such a sweet heart, I love this little one so much and I can't wait to meet her and see what she looks like.

Will she look like her big brother? Light colored hair, fair skin, bright blue eyes and a dimple smile?

Or will she look the opposite? I don't care either way, I wouldn't mind if she looked like me. Josiah looks so much like his daddy in so many ways that I really like the idea of a mini me. :)

This week has been full of dull cramping, stabbing pains in my vag and thighs. I NEVER had this with my son. I was walking through the grocery store and I had to stop to breathe for a couple of minutes before walking farther. 

Weird. 

I asked my midwife about it and she said that it was completely normal especially with the 2nd baby nonetheless the 3rd. The more kids you have, the more likely you'll have them. :/ Bleck!

The cramping that I have comes and goes about 2-3xs a day, it doesn't really hurt, more of a nuisance really. I notice it more when I have possibly picked up my son way to many times that day. You know that's another thing. Before I got pregnant, I was really worried about picking up my son and it being too hard on my body. To tell you the truth, I haven't even noticed his 30lbs being a burden. I can carry that kid across the store, I would be out of breath, but I can do it! That wonderful husband of mine catches my tired cues pretty early too, so he takes Josiah almost the whole time that we are together.

I have gained 2lbs since last week. Which is fine considering I haven't gained much. I went from 156 to 158. She is suppose to gain a pound a week anyway. Pre-pregnancy weight was 154ish(i think). This new view of what I eat is going really good. I will be so happy once she is born and to step on that scale and see that I will be weighing less than I did when I conceived her. :) Then once I get the OK to work out, I'll be trying to get back to my lovely pre-Josiah body. I know that it will never be the same, but when you have been a size 4 nearly all your life and then have a kid(or 2) and go up to a size 10/12 and haven't gone back down from that. It gets sad, I miss buying the jeans that I really want that fit me right. A size 10-short in jeans is hard to find.

Well I think that it all I am going to say about this week. Check out my video log down below for a nice face-to-face discussion. ;)

P.S.- I get to pack our bags this week! I'll be making video(s) of mine, the baby's, my husbands and Josiahs!
