Day 31! 3/31/21

 This month of blogging has flown by! It has been nice to write down my thoughts each day this month.  Today is sunny but chilly, so I think I will keep going on my laundry/organization for the day.  I actually slept in this morning, which was amazing! And I'm happy to share that I finally found a K-cup that I really like, its Starbucks 'Spring Day Blend' from Target. It says limited edition so I will stock up on it while its around!  I know with the baby coming soon I will need that coffee.  There is one thing that I keep putting off in preparation for the baby, and that is moving our dog Rocky's cage from our bedroom where it has been since he passed away last summer.  The pack n play will go in that spot, which I know needs to happen but it is just so hard. I still get sad and cry sometimes when I think about him, he really was my first 'baby', but now it is time to make room for the new one.  Thanks for all the supportive comments this month fellow Slicers! 

Ultrasound 3/30/21

 Today I had an ultrasound to check up on the baby and it was crazy how much bigger he looks!  They estimated that he is 6 pounds, and I am 33 1/2 weeks...so I think he is going to be a big baby. My husband is 6'2 so I was kind of expecting that already.  The baby is super active all the time, so I wasn't surprised that at one point he had his foot up on his face during the ultrasound. We got a pretty funny picture of it too, I think that one will definitely be put in a frame. Yesterday with the help of my mom I was able to sort all of the baby clothes I have been given so I can see exactly what I have and still need.  It was a huge help and I feel a lot better knowing things are more organized.  What he will actually fit into when he arrives is another story!

3:30 am 3/29/21

I've been awake since 3:30am.  Blah. I think its from a mix of anxiety about all of the things I need to get done and the Braxton Hicks contractions I keep having. I definitely did too much yesterday and this is the side effect.  My mom and sister are coming over today to help me sort baby stuff and get some things cleaned around the house, which will definitely be a great help. Time for some coffee.

Grocery Shopping While Pregnant 3/28/21

 Today my husband and I went to return some things from BuyBuy Baby and then stopped at Meijer to do some grocery shopping. Lately I have been just doing car side pickup but we went in the actual store.  I had a list, but of course got wayyy more than what was on it because, well, I am 8 months pregnant.  I was hungry too, which is never good when grocery shopping.  Also, walking around a store while this pregnant wasn't so fun and I did of course take some of my irritation out on my husband who was taking his sweet time looking around.  Ugh.  We made it home and put everything away...is 5:30 pm too early for bed??? 

Jurassic Park & Pizza 3/27/21

 My night last night consisted of watching Jurassic Park and eating pizza with my husband, and it was perfect. Its nice not to have to cook dinner and to just relax and watch a movie.  I've seen the movie about 30 times over the years, but its always a good one to re-watch. In the last few years my husband has upgraded the TV and sound system in our family room, so he is always excited to watch a movie that will show that off. I have no idea what 4K, ULED, ect. ect. means, but apparently its great stuff. 😆

Fridayyyyyyyy 3/26/21

 I couldn't think of a creative title for my blog post this morning. It's Friday, woo! My last day at work before spring break. I have high hopes for alllll of the things that I said I would get done during break. I feel like my energy level has been pretty good lately despite being 33 weeks pregnant, so hopefully that keeps going into next week so I can get a lot done! My mom and sister volunteered to come over one day to help clean the house, which is definitely appreciated. I'm at the point now where I can barely reach down to get socks out of my top load washing machine, so I think I will leave that job for them. My husband does help some, but he usually works until 7 or so at night.. so during the week its up to me to get the household stuff done. At this point, if it doesn't get done, it doesn't get done! 

Gloomy Days 3/25/21

 Gloomy days are tough.  I woke up this morning and immediately felt it. I just feel blah. I miss the sunshine. It definitely helps get me moving and motivated to start the day. Apparently my baby doesn't mind the gloomy days in his cramped space because he is doing some flips and kicks as I type. I am sure those will get even more active once I get some much needed caffeine in me!
