Pregnancy!

I wanted to get a pregnancy photo for this week and it didn't happen. I'm 31 weeks now and man does it feel good. There is something mental to me about hitting 30 weeks - I feel like it's not that much longer.

As I mentioned before I feel like I'm kind of in that nesting stage, ready to get things in order. I'm anxious to get the baby things out, but I'm holding off until July. There were a few things out and Amelia just doesn't get it that they aren't hers. She wants to wear things and when she can't get it over her head she freaks out.

I'm starting to notice my stretch marks again. I'm glad they aren't purple though and I can live with them. We had our visit/appointment with Jean and my mom last week. It went pretty well. My muscle separation isn't doing so hot though and now I get to wear one of those lovely belts. I'm working on some exercises to strengthen and we'll see what happens. This has really made me feel motivated to work really hard at strengthening my stomach after the baby though. Kurt informed me he will be very sad if we can't have anymore children, so I'm being good about wearing the belt and doing what I'm supposed to do (as often as possible). Darn genetics! (Not that it's even close to being bad enough to not have more kids at this point.)

My body is getting into that elasticity stage - oh so not fun. My hip has been doing some crazy things, but I remember it being like this before so I know it will at least go back to normal. The throwing up is still way to consistent here, so I'll be excited to get that out of the way as well as the acne that was under control and seeming to flare up again. I'm also happy to say I've gained 40 pounds already. Ha ha ha to me. This whole third baby, you don't lose your fat curse better not be true. Oh and those darn charlie-horses have really started - better get on that calcium.

The contractions seem to have backed off, they were pretty fierce for awhile. I've been really trying to drink more water though. Those lovely cervix thunderbolts have started - whoazer, those are seriously just not right.

Lets see - other news - Landen informed me that the babies name will be "baby-kunkel" again today. I explained to him the names again but he is persistent. I hope he doesn't call him/her that later. We do have names picked out, but I'm going to wait to post them. I know some people know them though. =) They're perfect!

That's the up-date. It's so strange how your body turns into some sort of shell and you don't even recognize it when your pregnant. Not a bad thing, just the way it is. Oh and the baby loves to kick my ribs now - that's just how big it is. I was informed we aren't having a 'little' baby. =) Just how we like um - big and fat!

Have a great weekend.
