Pregnancy

I want to remember a few things about this pregnancy.  Attaching a picture for those who live far away... it will have to do since it seems a bit funny to ask someone to take a picture of me.

- We cant think of a name so I figure it must be a boy, and the ultra sound was wrong.  I love Hallie, Darren loves Olivia but call her Liv. We both like Kennedy, Hazel, and Kendyl.

- Heartburn is increasing.  I have tried oils and tums. They dont help. but I guess if I didn't eat three doughnuts in a row the heart burn might not be so bad.  (they were good doughnuts) But most foods give me heartburn

- I have tried to be active this pregnancy.  I did great at first, terrible in the middle, and now at the end all I am doing is walking to Tyler's school and back most days to get him.  So one mile 4 days a week is about all!

-  I am hoping to not gain over 30 lbs.  (but I sure believe it is ok to eat a bag of Cheetos here and there!)  Every appt the midwife measure me and my belly is right on.  If I am 35 weeks, I measure 35 cm.  I get lots of comments on how small I am.  I may not be able to bend over well, but I guess I am smaller.  Regardless, I look forward to hugging my husband without a belly in the way.

- I sleep ok at night.  I have a harder time breathing at night while laying down.  I am trying to sleep on my sides but I feel like I have been camping when I wake up.  My hips hurt!  (After 38 weeks not sleeping so good... hard time breathing, need to sleep propped up half the night)

- I feel good about this baby coming soon.  I have done projects around the house, got some meals in the freezer, got my food storage updated and organized, babies room is ready with diapers and wipes.  I feel good about all I have accomplished and know I have been able to do it only because I have Ella who is  4 year old in school 3 days a week, and Tyler who is 7 in school all day.  Two big kids make it easier!

The longest I have ever carried a baby is 38 weeks.  That date is 5 days away.  So when will this baby come?  Tyler said I should follow our family pattern.  He was 4 weeks early.  Ella two weeks early so this baby will come right on 40 weeks... 0 weeks early!  oh boy!  sure whatever!

You look great. And you are SO close! We are excited for you. Nolan and I have always loved the name Hallie and have always wanted to name a daughter that. But alas, no daughters over here. We are anticipating the news that baby girl is here! Good luck in the final days/weeks!

You look so great. Good luck with the name game. Such a hard choice. You can try apple cider vinegar for heart burn. It worked for me. I'm so excited for you. I wish you the best. Love you!
