Well, it's been fun, but now I'm exhausted, achy all over and water logged. You have given me cankles and my hands are swollen too, and they hurt. You are adorable and all, and I've had fun feeling you wiggle around in my belly and play in my ribcage... but your Mommy and Daddy will be here on Friday. Seeing that your due date is just around the corner anyway, I'm asking you to please vacate the premises when they get here. It's been a great 9 months, but it's time for you to make your entrance into the world Little One!
Please enjoy the next few days of kicking my ribs and using my bladder as a trampoline! ;-)
Thanks and have a great day!
Love,
Your Oven

It's getting close!
I can't believe it's already January! Beth and Mike will be here on the 14th, and soon after they'll have their little baby!! I've been so SO tired lately... I'm hoping this little one decides to come a little early... like the 15th would be good! Ha ha!
My legs and feet, and hands are swollen... I had to take my wedding rings and family ring off! I never puffed up this much with my Littles! I'm way more tired and achy this time too... I feel like I can't do anything without feeling like I'm trying to run a freaking marathon or something! I can't wait to get my body back! I'm at the point where I'm DONE! LOL
I just can't believe how fast this has gone by! I can't believe it's been over a year already when all this started and we met Beth and Mike! It's crazy how fast time flies!

Swollen Feet!
Well it's official... I have Cankles. It feels so weird when I walk.... my feet feel all floppy.
I've been putting my feet up when I can, and getting up and walking around a little, if I've been sitting to long. Drinking water... Looks like I'm just going to have fat feet until I deliver this baby! Ha ha!
Everything is going good still! The baby is still measuring on time, and even though I'm exhausted all the time and have heartburn every day, I feel OK!
I got sick last week and was literally in bed for about 3 days drinking Gatorade and puking... FUN! I ended up going to the ER on the second day (I was worried about the baby, because I hadn't eaten anything and was dehydrated) and they gave me some IV fluids... I threw up twice while I was there, then one more time as soon as I walked in the door when we got back home, and that was it. I still felt kind of nauseous on the third day, and very weak, but I was able to finally eat a little and keep it down.
Beth and Mike came over for Thanksgiving! We all had a great time! We also went and had a 4D ultrasound done and that was cool! The baby had it's hand over it's face the whole time, so we didn't get to see him/her very well. So they said I could come back and try again. Then I'll just mail the DVD over to Beth and Mike.
So next time Beth and Mike come over, they'll be here for about a month! It's so exciting! Next time they head home, they'll have their baby with them!!

Every 2 weeks!!
So I just had another appointment last Friday! Now I start going every two weeks! This is going by SO fast!
The baby is still measuring right on time, and is head down! The Midwife told me that I've gained 33 pounds already, and they typically like to see only 35 pounds, so to start watching what I eat... Yea OK lady.. I'll try not to gain more than 2 pounds in the next 3 months! ;-)
Doesn't the baby start gaining like 1/2 a pound a week around now?? I'm probably going to pack on a few pounds just Thanksgiving day!! Ha ha!!
I had the Glucose test and the nurse called back on Sunday and said everything looked great! The Orange Junk didn't taste as horrible as I remembered.
Well I think that's it! Just a quick update today! :-D

Random thoughts!
So I have the Glucose test coming up next week... I get to drink the nasty orange junk... yay.... Ha ha! I never had a problem with it before , so I'm sure it'll go well this time!
I feel so small this time! My belly and my butt are the only things that have gotten bigger! Ha Ha! Both times with my kids, I was HUGE by now... I'm almost 7 months along, and I look like I'm about 5! I thought I'd be about the size of a Hippo by now, considering this is my third time being pregnant. Beth is pretty little, (tall and thin... and beautiful BTW) so maybe this lil one is going to take after Mama!
This baby sure loves to play too... Always moving around! Right now as I'm typing this, the lil one is wiggling all around! I can't wait for Beth and Mike to visit next, so they can feel the baby moving! They'll be coming over for Thanksgiving! I can't wait! I LOVE to cook, especially a big meal for lots of people! They don't have Thanksgiving in Ireland, so they should have fun pigging out with the rest of us! Ha ha!!
It's a little bittersweet... It'll be the first Thanksgiving with out my Grampy... He passed away last year about a week before Christmas. OK and I'm done with that, because I just got a little teary eyed thinking about it!
So! I can't wait... I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! Well that and Christmas! I just love having all my family together!

Chocolate!!!
This baby apparently loves chocolate!! Every time I eat a candy bar or some dessert with chocolate (Which isn't too often, so maybe that's why...) the baby immediately starts moving all around... Like within 2-3 minutes of me taking the first bite! lol It's so funny! My own two never responded to any food like that! I just had a Heath bar about 20 minutes ago and the baby has been dancing all around! Ha ha!

Can't think of a title... Ha ha
You know it's weird... I knew going into this exactly what I was doing and how it could possibly affect me. I thought though, that I might still have SOME small feelings of attachment towards the baby once I started feeling her/him moving around. I can honestly say though, that even after about 2 months of feeling little flutters to all out kicks, I really don't feel attached! I'm just so happy to do this for them and I have two beautiful children already, so I really think that helps so much! Also the fact the the baby isn't even mine! (That's still so weird to say... Ha ha!)
I know that once the baby is born, it still might be a little sad to watch the baby get on a plane and fly away, but I know that I'll be OK! Beth and Mike are such awesome people, and I can not wait for them to have their baby and start their little family! I'm so, so happy for them!!! :-D
