Pregnancy: Cliff Notes Part 2

I figured with only two weeks to go I better finish up with pregnancy updates so my lil guy (who will probably never care what his mom looked liked prego nor what happened on week 36) will be have a complete documented version of his stay in the womb. So here it goes...

Week 32: Ran a 5K (with the intentions of run/walking but the fact that I was about to pee my pants kept me motivated to finish the dang thing)
Week 33: Stopped running and resorted to walking. The 5k from the week before did me in!
Week 34: Flew to Dallas and threw up on every flight for a total of 4 times. Took Maternity Pictures and had my first baby shower! Started getting morning sickness again
Week 35: Got my first case of heartburn and really short of breath
Week 36: Feet started to swell a little bit. Became an insomniac. Shower number 2. Started getting REALLY hot!
Week 37: Baby Shower's 3 & 4. 50% effaced and dilated to a big fat 0! Did my first batch of baby laundry, and packed my bags for the hospital.
Week 38: Feet blew up like a balloon (let's just say I look like I sprained both ankles) 50% effaced dilated to 1/2 cm (should that even count?... yes!)

Cravings: Fresh Peaches, Jimmy Johns sandwich completed with Jalepeno Chips and a Coke Zero.
Favorite Pregnancy Symptom: Still digging the enhancements, also feeling his little elbow or heel dig into my side. .
Least Favorite Pregnancy Symptom: Water Retention

Pregnancy: Cliff Notes Style

I thought blogging would get easier once significant life events happened ie. being pregnant. You know, the weekly belly shots, latest cravings, last emotional breakdown, crazy symptoms, but obviously I thought wrong... I guess blogging isn't defined by the events that happen in life but by something else... I am going to go with time.

So since time is of the essence and I seem to be running out of it lately, here is My Pregnancy (since my last pregnancy post) Cliff Note Style

21 weeks: Running started getting very difficult
22 weeks: Chase felt the baby kick, baby became very active. First trip to the beach
23 weeks: My Stomach popped. Started looking pregnant instead of chubby
24 weeks: Ran Ragnar Relay
25 weeks: Started getting swelling from sitting or standing to long
26 weeks: Started getting Braxton Hicks while running
27 weeks: Running was cut down to 25 minutes to manage Braxton Hicks
28 weeks: The top of my belly button started to poke out
29 weeks: I started getting morning sickness again

Thank you babe for the best two years of my life, with many more to come!

For Memorial Day we took a girls trip plus Dad to visit my Brother and Sister in law in Gatorsville (Gainesville Flordia). Needless to say I became a Gators fan while in the dirty south and scored some Gators Paraphernalia for me the Mr and little guy. GO GATORS!! Thanks to Amy and Ryan for being fabulous hosts, Mom and Dad for making it all possible and my beautiful sister Carissa and my favorite nieces for being the best birth control in the world! (too bad that birth control happened a little too late :)
