35 Weeks w/ Baby Boy!

So I have 4 weeks left until my c-section.  At 11 weeks I was really ready to be done, but around 9 I wasn't ready at all.  Now I am back to being super ready to go!  Everything is scheduled and I'm trying to organize what to do with Piper while we're at the hospital for 3 nights & it makes it all seem like it's really happening soon but I still have 4 weeks to wait!  And I feel huge and exhausted and just so over it.  I feel like I haven't felt normal in 9 months and I miss being a great mommy to Piper.  It'll be a while after my c-section until I feel "normal" again but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  I don't know how people have babies at the age of 40.  I am a few days shy of 34 and feel worn out and would never want to do this later in my age.  As you can see I am carrying way bigger than last time - and even last time I was measuring big!  At my recent 34 week appointment I measured 36 weeks so maybe he will come early!  I wouldn't mind if he did, but it wouldn't be fun having an emergency c-section.  He's still moving around in there a ton, I will miss that part of my pregnancy the most, but am also ready to see his little face and snuggle with him.  It's also time Sam carries this little boy around some, I've put in my time haha.  I had a sprinkle shower the other day that was fun, I've got lots of little boy stuff now and some diapers, and the nursery is pretty much put together so we are ready and waiting!  We are not 100% on a name so I guess we will have to see his little face and hopefully that'll help us decide!  
Alright...hopefully I post again before the baby but it's doubtful.

Almost 29 Weeks & Bump Photos

So I have 11 weeks to go until my due date and I am ready now!  I have felt so huge for so long that I am ready to be done with this.  I am sore and tired and I can't believe I will get much bigger but I will!  I measured big with Piper and I am measuring big again this time.  These comparisons down below are insane! On the left is me at 24 weeks with Piper and on the right is me at 24 weeks with this pregnancy (poor boy still doesn't have a name)! 

Now look at 28 weeks with Piper (left) and 28 weeks with baby boy (right)!!! 

Yikes.  I look ready to pop already.  Piper ended up being 8.5 pounds so I'm sure this boy will be even bigger.  Lucky I am having a c-section I suppose!  I did my glucose test today, so far all my other tests have turned out great.  I have an ultrasound in a month so we can schedule our c-section.  I'm not looking forward to the recovery at all, especially with a toddler running around the house.  But I am ready to get back to my old self.  I miss being able to run around with her and pick her up and cuddle her!  My groin has hurt since Thanksgiving and I go to a chiropractor for my lower back every week.  I just get a lot more pains than I did last time.  He is really pokey too, really jabs me and punches me...am preparing for a very active little boy!  Piper felt him kick for the first time the other day, it kind of scared her cause she jumped back and said "that scared me", and after I explained it's just her baby brother stretching and moving around she said "my baby brother is coming to see me!".  That was very sweet.  Now she likes to touch my stomach more and watch it to see if it'll bump up and down.  She even rubbed lotion all over it the other day.  It was very sweet but part of me wonders if she was just stalling for bedtime, like always!  Piper has the next 3 days off of school and then the weekend & Sam is going to be out of town; so I pray she is a good girl and my tummy behaves and I survive without too many tears (on her part and mine!).  I had a great trip to Vegas with my Mom and Sister a couple weeks ago and in a few weeks Sam and I are taking a little babymoon to San Antonio.  Sounds like a weird spot but he's never been and it's such a good place to walk around and eat and relax!  We also got a free hotel on the river walk and it's easier to drive 3 hours than fly anywhere at this point.  K...Piper's waking up from her nap (thank goodness she still takes them!) and I need to make a very strong cup of tea to keep me going.  Until next time!  xo.
