35 weeks

Well somehow I managed to skip weeks 31-34.  Oops.  I honestly don't know what happened.

Cooking time: 35 weeks (tomorrow)

Weight gain: 25ish, at the dr last week it was 24...which was my total weight gain with Lily :/

Food aversions/cravings: nothing new.  I'm definitely at the point where I can't eat much.  We indulged this past weekend in cinnamon roll biscuits with bacon, french fries, filet mignon, pizza, & mexican.  It was all delish but I'm so uncomfortable after eating.  

Sleep: pretty horrible.  Between the heartburn, peeing & restless leg syndrome I'm almost dreaming of middle of the night feedings.

Movement: So much, one active little girl...definitely feels head down at the moment so let's just hope she stays that way.

Overall feelings/symptoms: My back has done a complete 180.  It's 90% better.  I contribute it to a bunch of changes.  Taking it easier at work and at home with many thanks to my awesome coworkers & Rollie.  Water aerobics has been great too, I go atleast once sometimes twice a week.  Tylenol, although I haven't taken it in over a week except once this weekend.  Also stretching and not picking Lily up have all helped.  It's been a life changer.  From 30-33 weeks I was miserable, crabby and depressed.  Now I'm just huge and uncomfortable in other ways!  Lots of Braxton hicks too.

What we've been up to: As I write this we are in the car driving home from the airport.  Rollie and I spent the last 3 nights in Denver/Winter Park for my best guy friends wedding.  Hopefully ill do a recap of our trip soon.  I was a week away from not being able to fly, but I'm so glad I made it.  Flying wasn't as bad as I thought, but it was only a 2 hour flight.  Kristen & Kerry stayed at our house with Lily, Rufus, and Kerry's 3 nieces and nephew who are in town from South Carolina with Kerry's sister.  Full house! They are the best.  I have 4 work days left before going on leave.  I'm taking my full 4 weeks prior this time vs. only taking 2 before Lily was born.  She will be in daycare this week & next but after that home with us for the next 4 months!  I need to find somewhere for her to go once or twice a week though for her benefit and my sanity :)  We are having the house deep cleaned on the 13th...I can't wait!!  I'm also hoping to sneak in a massage that week as well.

          Top two from this weekend

In the thick of it

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginatio...

21 weeks Cooking time: 21 weeks, 1 day Weight gain: +4...I'm thinking from here on out it will probably be 1 pound a week since it was slow to come on in the beggining.  I think this is the ONLY time in my life that I've been called small by several people that know how far along I am.  I've struggled with weight since college, so maybe this is god's kind way of saying...you won't be one of those people who put on 50-60 pounds during pregnancy. Maternity clothes: oh yeah...I LOVE my grey maxi skirt from Target, I think I'll go grab the black one tonight :) Food cravings: red meat still...had a nice burger for lunch today and chocolate...I indulged in a bit too much Easter candy Food dislikes: frozen peas are the only thing I've found so far Missing: Sleeping through the night and beer...I've really been craving a nice cold beer latley and the non-alcholic stuff is crap so its not even worth the calories. What we've been up to: On Saturday ...

My latest read...

I have lots to blog about, Chicago, Michigan, our recent weekend in San Fran...but this comes first.  Last week I was doing my usual 'before bedtime Facebook scan', and I came across a post from a High School friend.  Maggie had posted an article about Natalie Taylors new memoir, 'Signs of Life'.  I knew it was going to be released  this Winter/Spring but it had slipped my mind.  I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered it.  I got the book Thursday and I'll be done tonight (I have 2 more chapters to go).  I'm not a fast reader.  Rollie can back me up on this one.  I got about 6 books for Christmas and I've only finished one so far, and I'm in the middle of two others.  Rollie would have had all of them finished and probably would have bought a few more by now. But back to the point.  A little background on Natalie...Natalie was married to Josh Taylor, one of my closest friends brother and someone that...
