Okay, first of all, must address the number above. It's my PT license. Yes, got it in the mail today. WOW! I am a REAL Physical Therapist! All my hard work has paid off. I feel super lucky because I love my job, and really enjoy helping people.
Next, the size of the belly. How could I have thought I was "big" at 27 weeks. To refresh your memory, scroll down a couple of posts and see for yourself. Well, here is how "BIG" I am now...and I guess that means in the next 6 weeks, I just keep getting bigger! This whole process and change is a miracle and I feel so blessed. Yes, it's not without it's hardships, but everything I've gone through so far is completely worth it. (Sorry they're a little blurry, but I like the natural / non-flash light best, but our camera doesn't focus so great like this. We're getting a new one for the birth that is BETTER AND has video. Yay!)
33w6d - loving the big fat buddha belly!
Here's the side shot!
Well, cankles and swollen hands come and go, but at least my weight is levelling off a bit. I have probably gained about 1 lb in the past 3 weeks. I'm measuring just fine though, and I am not worrying AT ALL about what I eat, except being semi healthy and getting enough MILK (aka calcium as my little guy tries to steal this away from momma), fruit, veggies, and protein. Oh, does chocolate ice cream count for semi healthy? Well, I'm getting enough of that too. Oh, one good thing, I like yogurt again! I've always loved yogurt, but really hated it until about 3 weeks ago. Another good way to get in calcium.
The other thing I should mention for moms following me, think about carrying antacids with you. I will get random heartburn, and this is helping for now. There is no warning when it will come, so having some in your purse is a life-saver!
We took the first of our 2 prepared birthing classes on Tuesday, so I feel better about knowing when to go to the hospital once I reach 37 weeks. I have a feeling I'll be pregnant until 41 weeks or so, but whatever this little guy wants is what he gets. Spoiled already!
That's it for now. Hopefully, I'll be able to post more and to show pics of the nursery once we start it. We've had 2 wonderful showers, so I'll try to post pics once I get them. We got tons of GREAT stuff, and I can't believe we'll have a little one soon that will need all of this stuff.
Oh, and, I finally started packing my hospital bag! Still need some items, but have a good selection there now, so am feeling better about that.
Love to you all!
xoxo Yo

Hi -- it's the random girl from BBC checking in on you again -- I thought that maybe you had had your LO by now! You look great in your pictures, and congratulations on getting your certification! Here's my tip for your hospital bag -- get those face-wipe washcloth things (like Ponds or Dove) -- because you are going to feel grimy and will want to wash your face -- but actually getting up to do it is way too much work! Good luck, I'll be checking in ...
Congrat's on getting your license! You look Amazing!! I can't believe how close you are! You will be snuggling him before we know it!
Loves!
