WEEK 34!!!

Leg cramps, irritable, uncomfortable, LARGE. YUP - it's here. My bitch about it all pity party. I've been PRETTY good for the majority of this pregnancy, but commuting is getting OLD and I am OVER IT. I can't wait to meet our kid. I'm ready for poop diapers, no sleep and lots of love. I'm over a foot being in my rib, peeing every time I sneeze and crying because no pants fit anymore. WHEN ARE YOU COMING OUT LITTLE MUNCHKIN????

HOLY HEAT WAVE

Why is it 90 degrees in the middle of September!!!???? I am sweating in places I didn't know I could sweat! This is horrendous!

Breastfeeding Class

Last night, my mom and I attended a two hour breastfeeding class at the hospital. It was really informative and great to dispel all of the horror stories I've heard from other moms. I learned positioning, and signs and things I need to know in order to make sure I'm doing it properly. Breastfeeding SHOULDN'T HURT! If it hurts your nipple or boob, baby aint latchin on properly. There's also no reason for the kid to ever be crying for hunger (unless you're sound asleep when you miss the other signs) - there are like 4 stages before a kid cries - and we just have to be really on top of them so we don't have a wailing baby in the house! It was also really interesting to get a sense of how many wet and dirty diapers we should see everyday, and when. I got a handy dandy color coded poop chart also! Most importantly, it was good to hear that I need to stay calm while trying this out. There's enough of a supply in the baby at birth that they don't NEED to eat right away - and if the kid doesn't, that doesn't mean I failed at breastfeeding. It's trial and error, and I can't give up too soon. I'm pumped. Pun intended :)

NURSERY UPDATE!

Week 33

Week 33 is full steam ahead. Feeling very lightheaded, sleepy and moody. Also took chicken fingers and fries to the FACE last night. Definitely getting harder to sleep, especially with the pool of drool that comes pouring out of my mouth every night. Veryyyy sexy. I have had Braxton Hicks contractions all weekend and some more lightening. Babers, are you tryin to get out?

Hiccups!

Little guy or gal has serious hiccups! I thought my vag had a crazy pulse or something, but after much googling and blogging, I found out that its just hiccups! Such a weird pulsing feeling.
