Pregnancy in review

I still have a while before baby comes,
but it feels like I have been pregnant my entire life.
It's safe to say that this pregnancy has been harder than
Ha Jyn's.

The first trimester and half of the second
was full of nausea and tiredness. As a result I would 
come home from work exhausted and nauseated, 
lay on the couch and watch reality singing shows.
Not normally my choice of entertainment, but between
feeling out of it and pregnancy hormones, those saga clips about
the competitors really got to me. 

I played and re-played this song after I found out that I was
having a boy.




Up until the ultrasound I was sure that it was a girl. Mostly because
I assumed I would have all girls like my mom. 
After the ultrasound I became very unsure my parenting abilities 
with a boy. But the lyrics to this song brought me a lot 
of comfort. So I played it over and over and over. 
Ha Jyn loves the song now. She sings along to it and 
calls it her, "uh ah uh" song. 

Baby boy and I have a lot in common it seems. We both like to eat.
 He loves in-n-out!  Whenever we eat there it tastes SOO good to me.
I've NEVER liked hamburgers before in my life, but when I eat an in-n-out burger it is 
pure ecstasy! Nothing else seems to be satisfying. 


My crazy hands. The last couple of weeks have had some 
stress to them and it seemed to have taken it's toll on my hands. 
The first is a day time hand shot, the next is a nighttime one. 
I met with the Doc, he ordered a spilt for me to wear to bed and told me to relax
a bit. My blood pressure was great so he was not to worried about my elephant hands.
This was around 25 weeks. I had morning sickness so bad one day

that it popped a blood vessel in my eye. 
As of today I am 34 weeks along. I CANNOT wait for my baby to come. I've never
been a quite complainer, I am so excited for him to be outside of me instead of inside. 
I think Boo is going to do a victory dance when I am no longer pregnant. 
For the last nine months I have done my best to complain about this pregnancy
every minute that I could. It's good to keep Boo involved right? Poor Boo only six more 
weeks!!
