~My testimony of prayer has grown a whole lot just from moving here. The gospel is an amazing thing and I'm blessed to live where I live... for so many reasons.
~I hate The Land Before Time 5. Curse you Amazon Instant Video for not having the original.
~Important life lessons can be learned from the movie mentioned above... like if you're lost in the wilderness with friends and aren't sure if the plants are edible, tell your dumbest friend to try everything first, just to be safe. Also, pray your children don't learn their grammar from this movie.
~Its ok if my floor is covered in bits of play doh and pine needles... let it go. Just let it go.... and breath...
~I love having a little boy. With all his energy and roughness, he sure is a mama's boy. And I can't wait to have another one. Boys are so fun. But I am a little biased.
~My husband is the most loving and supportive (and patient) person in the world. I'm lucky to have him.
~Sometimes its okay for my toddler to throw a giant tantrum... I need to take a shower.
~I enjoy church so much more now that I don't have to sit in nursery for two hours. Bless those people who get called into nursery. Another testament that the lord really does answer prayers. *five weeks before I'm due to have this baby, Noah just decides that he's fine in nursery without me. He only cried for five minutes two Sundays ago and last Sunday he didn't cry at all. Prayers answered.*
~I never thought I'd have to console my child from the toilet. But as a mom, what is privacy anyway.
~Its good to know that pregnancy isn't forever. Whether you have your baby at 37 week or 41 weeks, you WILL have your baby. And from what my doctor has told me, I only have three more weeks at most... and I'm counting on three more weeks... Not being pessimistic... just realistic and patient.
~I still haven't packed my hospital bag... maybe I should do that sometime...
which leads us to my pregnancy update..
How far along: 37 weeks! Thats only 21 days left.
Total weight gain: 20 lbs up. I thought I had gained 23 but at my last appointment my doctor told me just 20... I didn't gain anything between 35 and 37 weeks. I'm in good shape this time!
Maternity clothes? I should just delete about half of these questions..
Stretch marks: Yes...
Sleep: Last night I slept like a rock... only woke up once and it was just to roll over... which is odd because with Noah my sleep seemed to get worse the further along I was but it seems to be getting better. Probably because I'm SOOO tired at the end of the day; between the house, taking care of a two year old, and being massively pregnant, I'm always exhausted.
Best moment this week: Hmm.... I don't know if I've had a best moment this week. Things have been good. Just trying to get everything with Christmas done and get ready for the baby. I'm not nearly as anxious this time as I was as a first time mom...
Movement: Almost all day long. He's an active little guy.
Cravings?: Nothing this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick: no.
Labor Signs: Tons of braxton hicks and lots of pressure... that doesn't mean labor though so... no.
Symptoms: My heartburn is back. Turns out baby hasn't dropped like I thought he had (normal for a second pregnancy). I just carry really low I guess. The heart burn is getting pretty bad though. And my pelvis kills me.
Belly Button in or out? Out. And Noah is still fascinated. But now when you ask him where his baby brother is he points to my stomach... cutest thing ever.
Wedding ring on or off? Still on. My hands still look normal.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy.
Looking forward to: Christmas and January!!
