Pumpkin 35-39 Weeks

-
Week 487993



Finally, the home stretch!! Hallelujah! Sing His praises! 
Before I got pregnant I remember thinking, "I hope I'm not one of those women that you can't ever tell that they're pregnant."...HAH!
 

Symptoms: Pain. Braxton Hicks. Nesting. Stretch marks. Itching. Nausea. Vomiting. Exhaustion. Forgetfulness. Did I miss anything? I am really feeling pregnant now.

Weight: I'm just going to say it +70. I'm not proud of it but that's the number.

Cravings: I have had this thing about milk lately, especially chocolate milk. Once again not really a "craving" just like "I could really go for a glass of milk" kind of thing.

Aversions: NONE!!

Gender: Sweet Boy

Movement:  A whole lot of kicking, squirming, and dancing going on!

Sleep:  What is sleep???

Favorite moment during these weeks: Baby showers!


Questions:So the itching and the rash went away but then the itching came back but the rash didn't. I asked my doctor about it and he ran some tests which had me extremely worried but everything is normal. God is so good!

Goals: Breathe, survive, have a baby!

What I miss: Sushi, cold deli meat, my normal clothes, bending over freely, being able to wear tennis shoes, being able to reach things in my cabinet. It's funny the things you take for granted when you don't have a watermelon sized baby inside of you.

What I'm looking forward to: Not being pregnant anymore, that sounds really terrible. I know there are many women out there that would do anything to be in my position but I am just being honest. Pregnancy has not been easy for me and I am ready for it to be over and for my baby to here.

Thoughts: HURRY UP ELI!

Also, I really am grateful for this little miracle and for the experience of pregannacy but I am also really ready to meet him and really, really, really, ready to start our new life!

General Life Update 2018

So, my life has always been somewhat crazy but the past year to year and a half has been a real whirlwind. In August, before we got married I started attending Graduate School to become a School Psychologist. I was certain that this was the path that I needed to walk down. I loved what I was doing in the beginning, it was fun and exciting and I was getting to really help children. Late in the fall I started to feel overwhelmed. I started the semester working full time as a teacher, driving an hour and a half to school and back three times a week, and trying to be a newlywed. I cut back my hours at work so that I was working only part time thinking it would solve my problems but it didn't. I got sick that Christmas, like I normally do in the winter but somehow it seemed different than normal. The spring semester started off well, I attended a conference in Columbia for free, which was exciting. However, things quickly went downhill I became even more stressed juggling school, wo...

Stay On The Thankful Side

One of the ways that the enemy tries to pull me away from Jesus is through anxiety and negativity. I have struggled with anxiety for the greater portion of my life but it really reared its nasty, ugly head when I was pregnant with my son. I was so anxious and depressed that I developed habits that caused me to not recognize myself. I struggled with anxious, intrusive thoughts that continued after he was born. I tried so diligently to recover the woman I was before. I remember talking with precious jewel of a woman who, looking back, has not been constant in my life but God has always placed her with me at such important and formative moments. She spoke with me on a hot summer day about a year after Eli was born about how precious pregnancy and motherhood truly was. I am not good at quoting so forgive me but she spoke words that went something like "this time is such a gift from God and I truly became closer to Him because I was so amazed at what He was doing". I remember bein...

I just have to get this out of my head... I just heard the news of the Charleston shooting. I'm deeply saddened by this... the fact that someone would walk into a place of worship and feel the need to take the lives of the people there. What that young man did was horrifying and I could never begin to imagine the pain and suffering those people are going through. Not only should we be praying for those who have lost loved ones or were injured... We also need to pray for the shooter for he fell victim to Satan himself just like many of us do every day. While his sin was more permanent and more devastating, that does not mean that he can't find repentance and mercy in The Lord. I know it is very hard to pray for and love someone who has caused so much pain but as Christians it is our duty. I am so glad that people are willing to offer up prayer in support of those suffering. However, while those people are offering prayer and support for the victims, they are tearing down ...
