34 weeks (the 35 week pictures are below...I just never did a post on 34 weeks so I thought I would attach it along with this one :D)


I am now 35 weeks pregnant and definitely feeling it! I told BJ last night, "this pregnancy is sure kicking my butt!" I know a lot of it has to do with the fact I got pregnant before a year had passed with my first pregnancy and the fact that I am chasing a very outgoing and active 15 month old. Needless to say I have been having a lot... A LOT of braxton hicks contractions the past couple days and they are not the most comfortable to say the least. I just wanna sit in the warm bath all the time but unless Kaylee is napping that is just impossible. I know this because I tried yesterday while she was awake. I shut my bedroom door. Turned on cartoons in our bedroom, gave her milk, and layed out some toys for her to play with while I sat in the bath for a few minutes to help ease the cramping. But all Kaylee wanted to do was get in the bath with me. She gets her little leg up to the side of the tub and can almost pull herself in and out of the tub by herself. After a few attempts and not succeeding. Kaylee got on top of the toilet and tried to jump in the tub. Yes, this is our adventurous daughter I keep telling you about!


35 weeks prego

But back to the pregnancy update. BJ and I have 2 more Lamaze classes left. We took a tour of the hospital last week, as well as talked a lot about back labor. We have both learned a lot in these classes and really enjoy the time we get just the two of us to spend time together. I bought a exercise ball last week that we plan to bring to the hospital to help with back labor if I have problems with that. We also put together a list of songs on the I-pod to listen to if I am up for it. I never know exactly what I will use from the class, but I like having a lot of options that we can turn to if we need them. Even though the braxton hicks contractions are not the most comfortable or enjoyable, they have really helped me to prepare for labor because I take that time to practice some of the Lamaze techniques we have learned in class.

This belly is getting too big, I think I will hold it up for you. ha ha what am I doing?!



I am totally not ready yet to have the baby but with all the contractions it is on my mind all the time! I have so many things I still want to get done but by the time I have taken care of Kaylee and cleaned up her messes I am exhausted. I pretty much fall asleep on the couch every night around 9:30pm. BJ calls me a night owl if I am up past 10pm.




I went shopping the other day to pick up a few basics for the first few weeks of having the baby (onesies, a blanket, a few newborn outfits etc..), but I still have a few more things to do to be ready. Here is to hoping I will have some energy to get it done soon :)
