33 Weeks!


I am hoping for only 6 more weeks but we will see. I don't love the idea of being induced a week early (or at all unless I have to) but I don't want to experience what I did last time. 24 hour labor, 3 hours of pushing, having to start pushing at 9cm to get myself to 10cm, numerous tries with the "baby vacuum" and a little guy who came out blue and not crying. He made a little squeal but never did cry like a newborn should cry. He was exhausted, I was exhausted and I barely remember his birth. No thanks! I want a better experience this time! But I know I can't be choosy. You just never know what will happen when it comes to labor and birth.

I really hate complaining about pregnancy but I am starting to get to the uncomfortable stage now. I feel like garbage most of the time. I can't sleep to SAVE MY LIFE. I am having serious insomnia and my hips hurt so bad from sleeping on my sides. I am dying to sleep on my tummy again! I swear I must turn over 100 times in the night because my hips can only handle so much. I can't say I am ready for this baby to be here because I'm not. I am okay with him staying in until he is ready. I am just getting uncomfortable and I am nervous about the weeks to come. It also doesn't help that Griff might just be officially done with napping. Oh.My.Goodness. How am I going to survive the no napping?

You look way cute though! When the boys quit taking naps, I made them sit on my bed with me, lights out and watch a movie. They weren't allowed off the bed or else they had to go in their crib, it took them a few days to catch on but it worked. What I did before that time though was run them wild so they were tired! But I also wasn't pregnant so I guess that part is easier said then done for you. :)
