Week 34




As you can all see I cut my hair!! I am so excited to have it short again. I feel hypocritical because every mom-to-be that came to get her hair cut off by me in the third trimester I would try and talk her out of it. I was always told that hormones had a huge part of wanting to cut your hair off and you should wait until after the baby. Now that I am going through it I apologize to all those women. It has nothing to do with hormones, you are thinking about the time it takes you to style your hair and I was not going to be one of those mom's that is always in a pony tail. It just isn't me. It felt like I was cutting off all the hair that went with me through the New York stuff and through the sickness of the baby, so it was like a fresh start!!
My morning sickness has returned but only to a slight degree. It is manageable but it makes me remember how horrible the beginning was. I have been getting more uncomfortable day by day but thank God for Mom's because my Mom has listened to me moan about it for the last three weeks! Thank you Mom!!! I really haven't had to many other pregnancy complaints. I went to a prenatal Yoga class with an amazing teacher Mary who teaches hear at HI. It was great to hear the other Mom's talk about their experience and see how big they all were. Also it was nice to hear that I am not the only one uncomfortable and honestly I was probably one of the more comfortable ones there. It was a really great class I would recommend prenatal Yoga to anyone who is pregnant. My advise is go as soon as you know you are pregnant! It will keep you limber and in the end just keep you comfortable.
The baby is moving TONS and we can now see parts coming out of my belly. I always try and get Josiah's attention to see it but most of the time he misses it. He did grab the babies butt or back one night by mistake and the baby ran away from it. We were rolling on the ground laughing it was so funny.
I have started a video diary which has been really fun. I was nervous to start it because who is good at recording themselves talking and what do you really talk about? But to my surprise it was rather easy and I found things to talk about. I hope the baby someday will be able to see what I looked like while pregnant with him/her and what Josiah looks like. I was always curious about that when I was a kid!
So now it is a waiting game not to much longer. We could potentials have that baby in 4 weeks but that is not likely.
I hope you all are doing well!!

Week 31- Baby Shower



My dear friend Maureen through me a surprise baby shower here at the Himalayan Institute! Above are some pictures of a group of us and also a chart she had people guess if they thought Male or Female, when the baby would arrive, how big and who it would look like! It was really cool to see all of the guesses!! It was a great party and a great surprise!! Everyone was very generous and we now have everything we need for our little one to arrive!!

I am feeling well for the most part. I am tired more then I was but that is common for this time period I am in. My eye is still not better but I have a DR. Appointment on the 11th. Josiah is going to shoot me for being on the computer to write this, but I don't want the weeks to slip by and not have record of what has been going on. I am 32 weeks tomorrow, we will be taking more pictures of the belly for you all. The baby is jumping practically out of my stomach now and it makes it hard to sleep. Also the four or so trips to the bathroom every night make sleep difficult. In spite of all that stuff I find myself getting more and more excited for the arrival and can not wait to meet him/her!!!!

Thank you to everyone for all their support, Josiah and I love each one of you and are so glad to be sharing this experience with you.
