I havent blogged since I was 24 weeks and a lot has changed with my body and my surroundings.
Have been out of work since 11/26 which is nice, but I have found myself to be less active than I would like to be, no thanks to the weird stares from the local gym members..And especially when my Vince stays home with me. Excuses yeah I know. Ive also found myself eating A LOT less healthy than i did my whole pregnancy. The tired/incredibly emotional pregnant woman is back!
Other than that everything is great in the pregnancy forefront.
I am ready to go anyday. I delivered both boys at about 38 weeks, and I was hoping baby girl would come soon enough too.. But I understand if she wants to wait. :)
The boys remind me every night of how excited they are to meet their little sis, their happiness and cheesy comments make me feel all warm and fuzzy.
I Will be delivering at hospital, birth plan in hand, and hoping that everything goes smooth with my midwife. I plan to labor as much as i can at home then head to the hospital which is 10 minutes away, just in time for my beautiful star to shine :)
I follow Alismith on Babble.Com. This beautiful woman is 39 weeks pregnant and Its nice to relate to someone so close in gestational age. I took a small survey from the site, you should check it out for fun pregnancy info. Which at this time is needed and appreciated :)
Size of baby:
When i went into my last ultrasound (35 weeks) my baby was right at the 6 pound mark.. I have previously delivered two 6.6 pnds 21 1/2 inch long babies. So when I heard this news I was a little shocked. Im sure i wont have a HUGE baby, but i do anticipate her to be bigger than her brothers at birth.

Weight Gain: Ohhhh the weight.. I started my pregnancy weighing in at 120 pounds. I am now 144. According to my mw my weight gain is fine. I have managed to have gone through this pregnancy buying 2 maternity pants (2-slack style for work,1-pregnancy jeans). I also have prego handed down jeans, that fit really loose but are pretty comfy. Other than that i still wear old jeans and pants zipper closure tucked in of course. I know I look good for being 9 months pregnant, but I have never weighed this much in my life, so it has been a little hard to get used to it. My stomach has stretched to the brink (no new stretch marks thank goodness). Carlo saw my tummy in an undersized shirt yesterday and said "oh mom, your belly button looks like a cinnamon roll"consequences of my half innie half outtie. Besides all of this, though, i feel very blessed to not have any kind of weight complications and know that this is only temporary.
How Im feeling: Im really emotional and struggle to keep my grips with what is real and what is just absolutely made up in my over hormoned mind. Im excited and nervous about the upcoming birth, but I find my calm bf to be really helpful. Their are times when i cant wait to meet my little love, days where i wish i can just hold her, but their are other days i think keeping her in there, away from germs and smog and anything hazardous to her, would be best.
What im craving: Anything cake! I dont fulfill these cravings a lot i try to take a healthier approach to them but cant stop thinking about them... Cakes all over!! YUM! Was very happy and all for Diego's idea of having a birthday cake for his sister when she is born.
If you saw me today: You would probably be like everyone else and think of me as a flying saucer, a UFO.. Strange to the eye.. You know im pregnant but cant seem to put 2 and 2 together and just keep staring at me in awe... I would not be surprised if you pulled your camera out haha!
Movement: My daughter and I have gotten into scuffles lately and she loves to pop me in my rib. I feel her as she stretches out her legs (just now OUCH) I think i can even feel when she moves her face around. Even though she is pretty compact in there right now, she still manages to amaze me and keeps me wondering what she is doing in there.
Sleep: I actually sleep fine, and have for the most part of my pregnancy. Maybe i even sleep too much??? nah!
What I miss: Running around with my boys and doing karate kicks with them without feeling like i just ran a marathon. Just went to disneyland and I spent most of my day on a bench rubbing some part of my aching body.

Being able to stay awake during late night movies, hugging my bf without the bump and even doing dishes without angling my ever protruding stomach.
