So we've reached the 35 week mark!!! YAY! Everyday many people ask me, "So how are you feeling?" And quite frankly, I'm not so sure how to answer this question any longer! How much detail do they really want? How much detail do I want to give them? Sometimes I have to stop and think to myself..."How do I feel?", "What's hurting right now?", "Do I really want to get into that conversation right now?", etc. And then after thinking through all of this, I'm sure everyone is wondering why I am studdering to answer their basic question.
So how am I feeling?
Well first of all, I feel so uncomfortable!!! My stomach is so tight! Our little boy is growing so big and just running out of room. He loves to stick his bottom up between my ribs and then as far out as possible, making me look very oblong and off center. The doctor felt my stomach as he was doing this and commented that my baby has a big bum. Just as a side note: He did not get that trait from his mom! :) lol
When night time comes along, I get mixed feelings. Part of me has been so exhausted all day and can't wait to just shut my eyes and go to sleep. But the other part of me dreads having to lay down and be so uncomfortable and have my pelvis feel like it's in a million pieces every time I try to rollover or go to the bathroom. It's just not even fun. I can't wait to be myself again.
Every morning I wake up and feel like I've been running a marathon all night long! I am so tired and exhausted pretty much all day long. It doesn't matter how much sleep i get, I just can't get enough.
I sstill feel nauseous most everyday but luckily that usually only shows up in the late afternoons and evenings. When I can't concentrate on anything else but throwing up, then I know it's time to go to bed.
...........Anyways, enough about me and enough complaining about everything.....................
I know that I will be grateful when I finally get this little boy here and can hold him in my arms. And I know that Blaine can't wait to have his wife back as well as have a little boy to enjoy and share our lives with. It's mind-boggling to think that in just a few short weeks, our lives will never be the same again and we'll have a little bundle of joy to take care of, teach, and love!

Amber, you're getting close! I remember that feeling of dreading sleeping at night, because as tired as I was, I knew I would be so uncomfortable. Hang in there! Soon your little boy will be here!!
You are amazing! Going to school, then working, organ.....you are just awesome. It's not easy to get through this portion. In my opinion the worst part of the pregnancy, but you can do it. In just a few weeks you will have something you can only dream about. You will love him and kiss him and never remember how bad it was to get him here in the first place....oh how I LOVE that part! Keep up you positive thinking!
russell got me a great little pillow to put between my knees and it helped a ton with that pelvic pain in the last few weeks and months. a regular pillow could do the trick. or maybe you're already trying that...
i'm sorry pregnancy has been so painful for you. let's hope for an easy delivery. :)
