36..

April 27th, 2011

I am 36 weeks today! the scariest part is when I applied this sticker.. I thought it was really low and close to the pants :0 then I looked at the photo.. not so much.. I am large and in charge.. and retaining water like a HOT MESS! yesterday at work I had way to many tables asking me if I was having twins.. 

them- wow.. are there twins in there!!

me- nope.. just one!

them- no.. there is.. there has to be.. you are definitely having twins!!

me-  oh.. ok

on an exciting note.. at the doctors on Monday.. my low fluid scares were put to rest when they told me I actually have TONS of fluid.. on a reading they like to see an 8.. and I had an 18.. this means nothing to me except that I am 10 above what I should be.. and I’ll take it!!

my friend had her sweet baby Tuesday morning.. and now I am the last of the “work group” it feels weird.. walking into work yesterday was actually kind of sad.. no more partners in crime.. and now its my time.. gulp.. 

this sadly is my last comparison photo.. at least it brings me joy because there is a Christmas tree in the photo.. 

my food cravings have been jumping all over the place.. yesterday it was strawberry.. and because I cant have fruit.. but I can have dairy.. I purchased some neapolitan ice cream.. and it hit the spot.. I couldn’t stop.. I was allowed half a cup.. and i had to tell Dustin to come pry it out of my hands.. literally..  in sad food news.. no more spice.. which is all I want and crave.. but I am actually getting heartburn.. it is wild.. and painful.. and thankfully it only reared its ugly face in the last 5 weeks of my pregnancy.. because I need tabasco on everything!!

Olive is finally growing tall and her pjs aren’t fitting anymore.. (those would be the 12 month ones ;) she is back to being obsessed with her flash cards.. Ronnie pulled out the “shapes” cards we bought her back at Christmas and had stashed in her closet.. and when we came home from Portland.. she knew what a grey hexagon was.. it blew our minds.. we had no idea she even had these cards out.. and me and dust were on the floor dying of laughter.. 

on a nesting note.. mine is out of control.. I am trying to bring order and chaos to a situation that has no concept of it.. (perfect birth.. right!?) emails are being sent.. and I am starting to panic about when the moment comes and who will take Olive..  papa just sent me an email saying him and my “night time come get olive person” will be in Texas May15th-18th.. gulp.. I think he thought I knew already..  Dustin never calmed my fears when he said.. “we will just bring her”.. dear lord.. I am in trouble!

breathe.. breathe..
