it's where the heart is.

so i truly have not taken the amount of pictures of my growing belly as i intended. but honestly gaining weight, whether it is due to growing another human or not, is not my strong suite. makes me cringe a little actually. but i am trying to take it all in stride and since i am 4 days from my due date, i figured it was about time to do a little documentation.
this pregnancy...
+ i had a tremendously long period of nausea. way longer than with ella. in fact if i watch olivia those nauseous vibes come flooding back. (ella used to watch waayyyy too much olivia as i laid close to death on the couch...close to death might be over-doing it)
+ have not had any cravings, except that i love cherry limeades from sonic and raspberry limeades from red robin. carbonation? yes please.
+ i have almost out grown all the cute clothes i bought at the beginning and keep trying to squeeze into the good ol college sweatshirts. a little bit of belly showing at the bottom is fine right? didn't think so. so those are only allowed where no one can see me. and at hobby lobby because i didn't feel like changing.
+ i have experienced the nesting. holy nesting. i've cleaned out and rearranged pretty much everything this house has allowed.
+ i have cried like it is nobody's bidness. the sad abandoned puppy commercials or homeless people get me every time.
+ i have greatly enjoyed taking time off, but feel strangely out of place being a stay-at-home-mom.
+ i have completed tough mudder, signed up for a mud-run post baby, gotten engaged (yes out of order...i know what you're thinking), celebrated my 28th birthday, celebrated ella's 3rd birthday, and loved being preggo during the winter.
+ i have definitely gained more weight and am bigger than i was with ella. i have also dilated to a one on my own....that was meant to be followed by a round of applause and a pat on the back. thank you. thank you.
annnndddddd....
+ i have tried to be a better sport concerning the whole 'i feel like a whale and can't wait to get back to what i used to be doing in my skinny body' pity party.

so welcome to the world captain....whenever you decide to grace us with your presence, i will be here waiting to push you out for the simple fact that i am dying to dress you. :)
