being preggo

things we have discovered about me since i've been preggo:

i used to have super small hands. ever since august my fingers and hands have been swollen. i stopped wearing my wedding ring anywhere except for work in september and by october i gave up on wearing it all. which makes me so sad. im ready for my hands to be back to their normal small size. and im ready for bobby to stop describing my fingers as "sausage-y".

the combination of pregnancy hormones and late nights does weird things to me. some nights i am cranky, some i am so giggley that it is ridiculous. weird.

my feet and ankles can swell up to GINORMOUS sizes! we mostly discovered this in arizona where i was on my feet alot and my feet literally would swell over the straps of my sandals. there are no pictures of this and for good reason. disgusting.

any sort of strenuous activity such as climbing into bed or even rolling over gets me completely out of breath. running and climbing stairs are completely out of the question.

i crave a piece of toast with peanut butter for breakfast and an apple before i go to bed.

i am a complete clutz. now lets be clear....i was never super graceful before the added weight and giant belly but now i am, as b-ray likes to say, completely hopeless. i am continually running into doors and walls, tripping over my feet, and slipping on ice. good thing im only pregnant for a small part of winter.

i have actually enjoyed pregnancy.

i love feeling this little girl move and groove around inside me.

but we are so ready to meet her and luckily we dont have to wait very much longer!

at our doctors appointment today we got the good news that he is going to break my water on thursday!! hooray!!! we are so excited that she will be here early and that we actually have a date to look forward too instead of waiting impatiently.

my madre arrives on wed. afternoon and we will be celebrating her birthday on thursday the 16th by giving her a grandkid. best plan ever. :)

we cant wait to kiss and love on our little girl!

Pregnancy is great and all but it's really great when it ends. I hope everything goes smoothly for you and I can't wait to see pictures!
