9 MONTHS!!!

Wholly Mole! 9 months! Next week I'll be considered full term. I can't believe Tim and I will be parents in a matter of weeks! Seriously though I'm hoping sooner than later. I know every pregnant mom in their final weeks say this and no wonder! Here is a list of whoas and ailments:
~I can't wear shoes even flip flops hurt my feet. I think I have elephantitus! ugh!
~1/2 of my maternity clothes don't fit anymore. But at this point why waste $ on more clothes?
~ I have pregnancy carpel tunnel. When I wake up in the middle of the night to pee I have a hard time opening up doors cuz my hands hurt so much
~ I'm officially waddling. My hips are definitely spreading
~ Kaydriana is currently breech. So that worries me since I really don't want a c-section, but also I feel she is trying to kick her way out of my cervix. ah man-crazy feeling!
~My feet hurt. The extra weight I'm sure has something to do with it, but I think the hormone relaxin (that helps let my hips spread) is doing a number on my feet joints. Instantly when my feet hit the floor they hurt
~ I have to sit reclined as much as possible to give Kaydri room. If I don't she forces me to.
~ I've had a cold for the past 5 days- I want nothing more to take drugs to feel better. Instead I'm suffering through every miserable moment
~I have a hard time breathing. ( walking/talking/sitting - all the time)
~ Squatting or getting things from the floor is the most dreaded activity and I continue to drop things. Bad combination!!
~ I have more stretch marks - lovely!
~ Getting ready in my bathroom is more and more difficult as I can barely get close enough to the mirror due to my belly being in the way
~Extremeties go numb
Okay, I'll stop complaining. I don't have much longer and I know I'll survive and in all honestly I love feeling Kaydriana move inside me so I don't hate being pregnant. I'm just ready for it to be over. And I know the moment she comes out I'll forget about all my complaints because as every one says, it will all be worth it!

In the past two weeks Tim and I got a lot done. We both feel ready for her arrival. We had our last birthing class last Tuesday. We bought our travel system (car seat is in the car!), Kaydriana's and my bags are packed for the hospital, we just ordered the changing table and Tim put some finishing touches on the nursery. Tim did a lot of bottle/pump research which was really helpful. He fully plans on helping me with feedings when I need to sleep or run errands. I think it's cute how involved he wants to be with the feeding aspect. In the next few days I'll have a meet and greet with a pediatrician a co-worker referred.

So now if I can just get baby girl to get her head back down, we'd be totally ready!

  1. You are so ready and I really really hope she turns! Not only will you forget all the ailments when you see your sweet baby but it is amazing how so many things that plagued you in the last weeks disappear INSTANTLY!! It is like magic that you already start to feel like yourself again. I will be waiting for any news!
